When people tell me they find yoga boring, I always wonder if it’s because they were taught to do the poses… but not supported to actually feel their body.

For stress and anxiety, the magic isn’t perfect shapes.
It’s noticing what changes when you move, breathe, and soften.

If yoga hasn’t worked for you before, what part didn’t land?
boring / awkward / too slow / too hard / confusing

💛 DM me “YOGA” and I’ll send you a simple starter practice.

A tiny nervous system support tool you can try on your next walk.

Slow your pace just a little.
Unclench your hands.
Soften your jaw.
Let your arms swing naturally.
Have a gentle look around and notice what’s here.
Then breathe in through your nose… and let the exhale be a little slower.

It’s simple, but it can help your body soften and feel a bit more steady.

✨ My new Active Stillness website is launching soon, with a beginner-friendly nervous system course coming with it.
Follow for updates, and save this for when you need it.

I’ve worked with NGOs for a few different causes over the years, and today Ive been supporting women who have been trafficked.

Trauma informed yoga is really about interoception and choice. It’s the gentle work of noticing what’s happening inside and knowing you get to decide what feels right for your body.

We explored slow grounding movements and some cross lateral work movements. Cross lateral patterns help the two sides of the brain communicate again, which can be disrupted by trauma. They support coordination, focus, and a sense of connection in the body, and they often help the nervous system settle in a really simple, accessible way.

This is Active Stillness in practice.

Ever feel like you’re running on empty, even after resting?

Recently, my Garmin kept telling me:
“Body Battery low – too much stress to recover overnight.”
⁣
This might sound familiar - not enough time for naps or lie ins to recover.
⁣
Even with early nights and good intentions, your nervous system can still be stuck in over drive.
⁣
It's at these moments when I turn to my practice of Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep.

It’s a guided meditation you do lying down. No movement, no effort. Just rest. It supports your body in releasing tension and gives your nervous system the reset it’s craving... the best thing is it can be done in 20 minutes - rather than finding time for an hours nap!
⁣
This practice is powerful for stress, anxiety, burnout and trauma recovery.
⁣
💜 I’ve created a free Yoga Nidra recording for anyone who wants to try it.
⁣
Send me a DM and I’ll send it straight over to you.
⁣
You don’t need to push through. You don’t have to earn your rest... and there are some great choices you can make to help your body find recovery 🙏.

When life gets hard...

This quote from one of my students was shared with me this week. Their story was as difficult as most of us could ever imagine. It was an honour to have them on our programme.

As a teacher, if I can create safety in classes, where someone is finally able find some calm and some peace - then I've achieved a huge goal.

Do you need a fancy watch to tell you how your body is doing?

Actually our bodies are talking to us all the time - giving us little reminders, "hey - check in - let me show you how I am".

We need to learn to listen to the differences in our body, the messages it's giving us that answer the question - am I ok?

We do this through our interoception. your ability to sense what’s happening inside your body.

Interoception and yoga are deeply connected because yoga helps you tune into your body’s internal signals — things like your breath, heartbeat, muscle tension, or how tired or calm you feel.

Through slow, mindful movement and breathwork, yoga strengthens interoception.

DM me if you would like to work on your interoception. There are lots of ways to start listening 👂

✨ Have you heard of Glimmers? ✨

Since I first learned about glimmers (a beautiful term from Deb Dana and Polyvagal Theory), they’ve made such a difference in my own life.

For me, glimmers are those tiny moments when my nervous system softens. A good friend always says "balm to the soul" to me, that's what a glimmer feels like. It's the opposite to a trigger, its safety.

🧡 The morning light through the window
🧡 My dog resting her head on my lap
🧡 The sound of my kids laughing
🧡 The view from our village

They’re small, but they gently remind my body: you’re safe right now.

The more I’ve practised noticing them, the more grounded, calm and resilient I feel. I try to add an anchor when I notice one, a hand on my chest, tapping or breathing - even on the harder days.

✨ That’s why I created my Glimmers Meditation — to help you start noticing and collecting these little sparks of safety too.

💌 If you’d like me to send it to you, just DM me the word GLIMMERS and I’ll send it over.

Let’s fill your day with more of these beautiful moments... once we start to notice them, they are all around us.
