"How can I calm myself when feeling very anxious?"

Feeling very anxious can be scary, but your body can calm down. Here are a few things you can try right now:

Breathe slowly: Inhale through your nose for 4, hold for 4, exhale through your mouth for 6–8. Repeat for 1–2 minutes.

Ground yourself: Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can feel, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste.

Relax your body: Unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders, loosen your hands and feet.

Talk to yourself kindly: Say things like “This feeling will pass” and “I am safe in this moment.”

Change your environment: Splash cold water on your face, step outside, or move to a quieter space.

What is YIN yoga?

My answer is always: "delicious"

It is mostly a floor based practice, with only one standing pose.

It is slow paced, we sink into each pose for 3, or 4, or 5 minutes and rest for 2 or 3 minutes between each pose to consolidate.

We target fascia, an interconnecting web of tissue paper like substance that surrounds muscles. Through the sinking in and a tensile force that's applied, we hydrate fascia, it moves more easily.

This allows muscles to lengthen and improves range of motion of a joint, the hips or spine for example, they feel more flexible.

We massage our internal organs at the same time.

We trigger the relaxtion response in our nervous system.

We feel calmer, sleepy.

Mental loops swirl a little more slowly.

It is about mindfulness, awareness of self, non competitiveness, patience and releasing tension from hips, spine and the whole body.

Meridians flow.

The words of a beautiful poem inspire.

You may even fall asleep in final savasana, or linger in the space between sleep and wakefullness, the liminal space of all possibilities.

This is Yin Yoga.

At least, this is The Quiet Way Yin Yoga.

“‘What’s the BEST massage for chronic pain?’

Here’s the truth: there isn’t one magic style that works for everyone.​

Deep tissue: Great if your pain comes from tight, knotted muscles or old injuries. Think “strong, focused pressure” to release long‑term tension.​

Trigger‑point therapy: Targets specific painful “knots” that can send pain to other areas (like shoulder pain coming from your back).​

Swedish massage: Iideal if your pain is linked to stress, tension, or if strong pressure feels too intense.​

Myofascial release: Works on the connective tissue around muscles, helpful for widespread or hard‑to‑pinpoint pain.

I find a blend of these techniques, and subtle bodywork, along with varying depth of pressure, speed and an understanding of the soft tissues, physiology and pain history is what's really helpful.

Time to consolidate and recalibrate post treatment is also key.

It might be a series of treatments is needed, spaced at regular intervals, before you progress to a monthly maintenance programme.

The use of essential oils adds another layer of support, especially when working with anti inflammatory and analgesic oils.

The world exists as we perceive it 🤍

How do I convey THAT feeling on social media?

A client today said "when you held my head, I felt all the pressure dissolve. I didn't even know the pressure was there. I don't even know what the pressure was or what I mean by that, but it went. I noticed my hips twitch and all the tension release from my legs and feet".

I knew what they meant.

The 45mins of massage before that point, was leading towards it. Releasing the known tension from the muscles, the knees that hurt, the hip that was 'dodgy' , airing the mountain of stress they were dealing with. Talking at first, then going quiet as they begin to sink and settle. Noticing the mental loops and somehow allowing them to rest.

Holding that head, in a certain way, and it's like someone else is 'carrying the weight of it all' and you can breathe again. A mighty long inhale and slowly breathing it out.

You may notice the held patterns inside release, as my person did today and the resulting hips twitching and a softening of the legs and feet.

A reorganisation, or recalibration if you will.

Delicious.

Once a month people, minimum, once a month for your massage, reflexology, or some form of touch therapy to co-regulate your nervous system.

Even if we think we are okay, we are carrying a layer of pressure we don't even know is there.

On this note, I would really appreciate a few moments of your time to complete a Google review 😁 Facebook reviews welcome too. I think we all understand the algorithms at play.

After two hours of yin yoga and yoga nidra, a hushed transformation unfolds within and around you, it’s as if your entire being becomes a slow, meandering river, released from the banks of tension.

Body and breath find their gentle rhythm, muscles and joints unfurl like petals loosening beneath morning sunlight. Within the long yin postures, a quiet tide begins to carry away fatigue, infusing the deepest tissues with warmth and suppleness, while your mind traces the slow dance between effort and surrender.​

As yoga nidra guides you between waking and dreaming, the boundaries of stress and worry soften. Thoughts slip into stillness, emotions settle, and clarity dawns, sometimes so quietly, it feels as though wisdom spills into you from somewhere just beyond reach. Afterward, the world seems new, senses renewed, every breath imbued with ease and possibility.​

The aftereffects linger like poetry, sleep arrives sweeter, the heart lighter, and your spirit carried by a gentle resilience. It’s a return to the essential, where calm is not a luxury but a way of being, and the body remembers again what it means to truly rest.​

Book your session and step slowly into the quiet radiance of renewal.​
