I'm always looking for ways to add a little extra value to every class.

Recently, I introduced something new - just a small touch, but it made a big impact.

It got me thinking…
In life, it’s the same.

When we slow down and really pay attention, it’s the little things that often matter the most.

What’s one small thing in a yoga class that you absolutely love?

Nothing beats hearing feedback like this 💛

We've just kicked off our Spring Reset - an 8-week yoga + wellbeing series for workplaces across the Bay.

If your team could use a regular pause to move, breathe, and reset - I’d love to bring this to your workplace. Flick me a message to learn more!

My client just came back from holiday and has started a 6 week wellness plan - not strict, not punishing.

Just simple, practical habits layered into real life.

More movement. Better meals. A few non-negotiables.

And space for the real stuff - work, kids, life.

Because wellness shouldn’t feel like another job. It should feel like something you get to do - something that adds to your life, not takes from it.

Here’s what NOT to do when getting back to training…

❌ Don’t go all-in on intense workouts – jumping straight back to heavy lifting or marathon sessions risks injury and burnout.

❌ Don’t skip meals or over restrict – your body needs fuel to recover and rebuild, not punishment.

❌ Don’t compare yourself to where you left off – progress takes time, focus on your own journey.

❌ Don’t ignore rest – overtraining after a break can leave you sore, exhausted or discouraged.

❌ Don’t stress over the scale – numbers don’t define your strength, energy or progress.

Ease back into training with small, practical habits and realistic goals.

A few newbies showed up to today’s yoga class - a little unsure, quietly brave.

It took me right back to little Lauren in school, stepping into my first ever class with a friend. I had no idea what I was doing but something landed and it stuck.

It’s a big thing to show up to your first class, especially in the middle of a workday, not knowing what to expect.

But that’s the beauty of yoga.
No pressure. No expectations.
Just come as you are.

Let this be your nudge to try something new.

Strong women live longer.

Research shows that women who strength train 2-3 times per week:

→ Live longer
→ Maintain muscle and bone density
→ Boost metabolism and brain health
→ Lower risk of chronic disease by up to 40%
→ Feel stronger, more confident, and energised

And no - it’s not about spending hours in the gym.

Short, intentional sessions with heavier lifts can give you real, sustainable results.

Especially powerful in your 30s, 40s and beyond when strength naturally declines.

This isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s about building a strong, resilient body that carries you through life.

Comment “KICKSTART” and I’ll send you the full-body strength program I’m loving right now.

Every session with my clients starts the same way.

We pause and check in.

Hydration - have you had enough water?

Sleep - how rested are you really?

Energy - are you dragging or dialled in?

Stress - feeling wired, calm, or somewhere in between?

You don’t need to be firing on all cylinders to train - but you do need to know where you’re at and be willing to adapt.

Because awareness leads to smarter sessions, better recovery, and long-term results.

Tuning in = training with intention.

Because you don’t need an hour to stretch everyday - you need small, targeted movements, done consistently.

Most desk-bound clients I work with have the same story: tight hips, stiff backs, shoulders locked up after years at a desk. The fix?

- 3 personalised movements
- Less than 5 minutes a day
- Massive difference in how you feel, move, and show up daily

I call it the ‘Daily 3’ - your go-to mobility prescription, designed for you, based on what your body needs most.

Don’t underestimate the power of microdosing movement.

If it’s not scheduled, it doesn’t happen.

After years working with high performers - from CEOs to founders to yacht crew - one thing stays the same:

Everyone knows what to do for their health… but without structure, it can often get pushed to “later.”

That’s why I work closely with my clients to make wellness non-negotiable:

- Locked in the diary like any key meeting
- Pre-scheduled weeks in advance
- Direct calendar invites = less decision fatigue

Once it’s protected, it becomes part of the routine.

Because rest, movement, and recovery aren’t “nice-to-haves” - they’re leadership essentials.

High performance isn’t built on motivation… it’s built on systems.

Curious - what’s the one wellbeing habit you protect in your calendar right now?

No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just clear solutions.

Find your goal below and focus on what follows…

👊🏼 Want to lose weight? Walk more. Seriously. Don’t underestimate the power of moving throughout the day. NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) can burn more calories than your actual workout.

👊🏼 Want to build muscle? Slow them reps down. Time under tension changes everything - control every rep.

👊🏼 Want better mobility? You don’t need an hour of stretching. Find your top 3 postures and do them daily. Not sure what yours are? I’ll help you find your “Daily 3”. Small, consistent actions beat occasional intensity every time.

👊🏼 Want a stronger core? Ditch the crunches. Train to resist movement, not just create it. Think side planks (anti-lateral flexion), deadbugs (anti-extension), and Pallof Press (anti-rotation).

Give it 30 days and let me know how you go.
