I started to heal when I realised how much of my day I was moving through as if I was in danger.

The other day I was walking in the forest and noticed I was rushing, walking fast, shoulders slightly braced, breath shallow, even though there was nowhere to get to.

The moment I realised, I slowed my pace.
I felt my feet on the ground.
I let my breath drop lower.
And my body softened almost immediately.

So many of us live in a subtle state of survival without realising it, jaw clenched, breath held, nervous system always scanning. It might have helped us cope or stay productive once, but over time it pulls us away from presence, ease, and connection.

Slowing down isn’t giving up.
It’s communicating with our nervous system.
It’s how we teach the body that it’s safe to be here now.
So take a deep breath, relax your shoulders and soften your jaw.

Let this be your reminder to slow down. 🤍

Just one minute a day in Bridge Pose can make a real difference, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting, looking down, or feeling collapsed through the front body.

Anatomy tip:
The lift comes from pressing through the feet and engaging the glutes and hamstrings — not from compressing the lower back.

✨ Variations to try:
• If interlacing hands doesn’t work for your shoulders, keep arms alongside the body
• Place a block under the sacrum for a supported, restorative version
• Keep the lift lower and focus on breath if your back is sensitive

📌 Save this for your daily movement break.

Yoga classes

As a yoga and pilates teacher I encourage each individual to move in a way that is beneficial to them. In my offerings, I integrate my knowledge of anatomy and physiology with the subtleties of the energetic body. I strive to bring a balance in my teaching, of flexibility and strength, of stillness and movement, of grounding and spirituality.
