Here’s a few clips from our first Active Balance Flow class 🌿

Most people don’t realise how much tension they’re carrying… until they slow down.

That’s exactly what this session was - a chance to reset, move, breathe, and actually reconnect with the body.

Simple things, done properly, can make a big difference.
Here’s what a couple of people said after the session

“It made a big impact on my day and helped me relax my body and mind.”

“The session flew by, covered so much, and I’ll definitely be back next week.”

These classes give practical ways to release tension and bring things back into balance over time, to reduce tension pain and improve movement and wellbeing

We’re running the next session on Monday 👍

If it sounds like something that would help, you’re very welcome to join us.

Your body doesn’t just break overnight 🩻

Most people think they’ve just “slept funny” or something suddenly went wrong 💥

But in reality, it’s been building over time—posture, stress, habits, lifestyle.

By the time your body finally shouts, you’ve often been ignoring the signs for a while.

Start resetting your body to bring it back into balance ⚖️

Great first Active Balance Flow session last night 🌿

Great to see so many people join us.

Really good feedback from people — a lot noticed feeling lighter, more relaxed, and more open even after just one session.

It was a really nice mix of simple self-help tools, guided breathing, gentle movement and time to properly relax — and a few laughs along the way as well.

Everything is gently guided, but works quite deeply — helping to release built-up tension, reduce pressure through the body, settle the nervous system, and improve how everything moves and connects.

We also start to work with things like coordination and cross-patterning, helping the body and brain work together more naturally over time 🌀

This kind of work is all about helping the body come back towards better alignment and stopping things building up in the first place🩻

Everything we go through is simple and accessible — practical things you can use yourself to help maintain your body and keep things moving in the right direction.

We’ll be running these sessions weekly, each one building on the last.

Hope everyone who joined enjoyed it 👍
We’ll be running the next session next Monday if you’d like to join us.

Tight through your upper back, neck or shoulders? 💥

A lot of this comes from postural strain — long hours sitting at a desk, driving, or being in the same position for too long 💻

These small muscles between your shoulder blade and spine play a big role in stabilising the shoulder, but when they tighten up, they can create tension and even refer pain into the neck and shoulders 🩻

Using a massage ball like this is a simple way to help release that tension 👇

– Lean into the wall
– Use your body weight
– And gently work into any tight spots

Simple, but really effective.

We’ll be going through things like this in the online sessions 🌿 (link to join in comments)

Tight neck? Lower back pain? Headaches? Sore knees?

Most people think these are separate problems…

But more often than not, they’re all symptoms of the same thing — your body being out of alignment.

In the body, we have what we call 3 “spirit levels”:

– The feet
– The pelvis
– The neck

When one of these goes out, the rest of the body has to compensate — creating tension, imbalance, and eventually pain.
And this doesn’t just happen from big injuries…
It builds over time through:

– Micro-trauma (repetitive stress, one-sided habits, work, sport)
– Macro-trauma (falls, trips, whiplash — even from years ago)
Your body adapts… but those patterns stay until you start to unwind them.
This is exactly what we’re working on in Active Balance Flow 🌿
These sessions guide you through simple, effective techniques to:

✨ Gently bring your body back into alignment
✨ Release built-up tension
✨ Reduce strain on joints and nerves
✨ Support your body to move and function better

This work is based on over 50 years of Dennis Bartram’s research and clinical experience, now brought into a format you can actually do yourself at home.

Your deep squat says more about your body than you might think…

The deep squat is one of the most natural resting positions for the human body.
For thousands of years, people have used it in everyday life, and in many Eastern cultures, people of all ages still drop into a full squat comfortably because they use it daily, even into old age.
If you struggle with it, it’s not a failure — it’s feedback.

It can highlight areas of tension or restriction in the ankles, knees, hips, or lower spine 💥
In this video, we show a couple of simple ways to start improving your squat safely:

• Use a doorframe for support and gently lower yourself down
• Spend time rocking and exploring the position — don’t force it
• Progress gradually — this might take days, weeks, or even months
• Use a counterbalance (like a kettlebell or weight) to help guide you into position
This isn’t about pushing through — it’s about reconnecting with a movement your body is designed to do.
Be patient. Stay consistent. Let your body open up over time.
Your body already knows how — you’re just reminding it.
