Suitable for all.
Taking things a little slower.
Learning to be kind to our bodies.
Slowly building strength that lasts.
There’s a few places to join this lovely group.

Love this quote by Jane Hardwicke Collings.
Feels like I could write an essay unraveling all the levels but I’m sure you all resonate with this truth!

I’ve called it ‘Stress and Anxiety’ workshop but I could have titled it ‘deep self care’ or ‘nervous system reset’ or ‘dropping into your parasympathetic’ or ‘learning to relax’ or ‘toning the Vagus Nerve’ or many other titles that are different versions of the same thing.

I’ve chosen my top 10 simple tools that help us drop into this peaceful place.

This gonna be a super lovely class with most of it done by candle light 😌

Deepening into our autumn practice.
Autumn in traditionally a time of letting go and every year, when I come to this work, it feels so important.
It’s such an opportunity to release stuff that is stuck, to shed a skin, to sever old habits or free ourselves from what no longer serves us.
It feels really liberating and exciting to bring this intention into our practice and weave it through our asana.

The Lungs are one of the meridians connected with autumn, so exploring our breath, specifically the letting go with each exhale will be a central part of the practice.
Classes are Mondays drop in 6-7.30, Wednesdays 10-11.30 (a more gentle class) and Thursdays 9.30-11.

I’m getting so super excited as I prep up for this workshop.

In this workshop I’ll be bringing together my training over the last couple of years to share some of the amazing ways we can use exercise as medicine.

Going far beyond just getting fit specific exercise can support every aspect of our mental, physical and emotional well-being particularly as our hormones begin to change through the peri and into post menopause.

While I’ll be teaching a few techniques, this workshop is mostly theory, so you don’t need to be fit to come.
The idea is that you’ll be inspired, motivated and confident to start implementing exercise slowly & safely when you’re ready.

This is gonna be a truly lovely class. Like a gift to yourself.

I’ve called it ‘Stress and Anxiety’ workshop but I could have titled it ‘deep self care’ or ‘nervous system reset’ or ‘dropping into your parasympathetic’ or ‘learning to relax’ or ‘toning the Vagus Nerve’ or many other titles that are different versions of the same thing.

After choosing my top ten tools (some from the yoga tradition, breath work, Chinese tradition, some more recent science based) I started to practice them all every day in prep for the workshop and to see in which order they would work best.

This coincided with me taking a week off the gym as I was experiencing a hormonally driven bout of inflammation and had aches and pain in pretty much every joint. I knew I needed to give my body a rest and not cause any aggravation.

After doing these all of these practices daily and with extra committment, I would describe the experience as ’learning to be kind and to tenderly nourish a deeper part of myself’. I absolutely love them.

For years now I’ve started every yoga class and practice with one of these tools because the research is clear and it makes so much sense to me and while I’ve learnt that these practices have a profound effect on every element of our well being, from being open to experiencing joy to strengthening our bones, from our ability to absorb nutrients to our ability to concentrate, this was the first time I’d experienced it so fully.

Interesting enough, all of my aches and pains have gone, I’ve returned to the gym without any flares ups.

We’re only meant to be in our ‘fight or flight’ mode very occasionally but many of us exist in this state of stress for the majority of the time.
These super easy and simple tools will help you drop into the more peaceful ‘rest and digest’ mode where health, healing and happiness can happen.

Anyone can do them, they take minutes and are free.
