10-Minute Hip & Back Release
A gentle Somatic Movement practice to release tension and improve mobility. These exercises focus on hips and lower back — helping you notice which muscles are contracting and which are letting go.

Somatic Movement (pandiculation) follows three steps:
👉 Contract and notice
👉 Long, slow release
👉 Rest
👉 Repeat

This simple cycle helps your nervous system retrain your muscles to let go of chronic tension, so you can move with more comfort and ease.

✨ Want more guidance? Inside the Somatic Movement Online Studio, you’ll find full-length classes for hip release, back mobility, and whole-body ease — with step-by-step guidance to support you.

Move freely, live fully with Manipura Body.

Thursday really is my favourite day

I start the morning with my own Somatic Movement practice — a few quiet moments to release tension and reset. Then it’s time for our 10 AM Community Somatic Movement Class at Palm Beach, where we always finish with coffee and conversation with the most wonderful group of women.

In the afternoon, I record new Somatic Movement practices for the Membership, so you can enjoy the same release and reset from home.

A whole day immersed in Somatic Movement — this is… my pure joy 💛

When movement feels good, it becomes a habit — and that’s where wellness grows. ✨

That’s exactly why I love Somatic movement. The practice itself feels good — helping you release tension, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with your body. It’s not about pushing harder or chasing results, it’s about moving in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

And here’s the ripple effect → when your daily practice helps your body feel supple and free, all other movement feels better too. Walking, yoga, swimming, gardening, or even just bending down to tie your shoes — everything becomes easier and more enjoyable.

A small daily habit can open big doors: more comfort, more freedom, and more ways to move in ways that bring you joy.

✨ Save this post as your reminder that the habits that feel good are the ones that last.
💬 Tell me in the comments — what’s one way you’d love movement to feel easier in your body this month?

✨ “Massage is where stress melts and balance returns… and you can have one this week.” ✨

I’ve just opened up extra appointments — including a few rare Saturdays, some evenings, and plenty of times in the September school holidays (I know, right… school holidays again!).

This is a rare chance to book when it really suits you — and give your body the reset it’s been asking for.

Appointments this week are available, but they’ll go quickly. If you’ve been waiting for the right time, this is it.

👉 Book your massage today — online booking through my website (link in bio) or just shoot me a DM.

I used to think I didn’t have time.
Between work, family, friends, and the never-ending to-do list, the idea of adding another thing to my day felt impossible.

But deep down, I knew my body needed more than “getting by.”
I didn’t just want to stay mobile now — I wanted to still say yes to hikes, swims, and adventures in 10, 20 years’ time.

The problem? I couldn’t see how to fit it in.

It wasn’t until I realised I didn’t need an hour… I didn’t even need half an hour… that things changed.
I started with just 10 minutes a day.
On the living room floor.
No fancy clothes, no travel time, no overthinking.

And here’s the thing — those 10 minutes changed everything.
I woke up without that heavy, stiff feeling.
I moved through the day with more energy.
I started saying yes again.

That’s why I created the Manipura Body Somatic Movement Membership — for women who know they need to focus on mobility, strength, and longevity… but feel too busy to start.

Whether you have 10, 20, or 35 minutes, you can do this — from home, in your own time.
Your future self will thank you.

💡 Save this post for the days you feel “too busy.”

Ever feel like your knees are taking the brunt of how you move?
Or maybe they’re fine—but you want to keep them that way?

Our Somatic Movement Community Class is on tomorrow at 10am at the Palm Beach Community Centre, and this week we’re exploring a session called:
Reset the Hips, Support the Knees.

It’s all about what’s happening above the knees—in your hips and pelvis.
When things get tight or imbalanced (which is super common), it can quietly shift how your whole body moves—and start putting pressure through your knees without you even realising it.

So we’ll be gently releasing the back, the inside and outside of the hips, and restoring balance through the pelvis—so your knees can move with more ease and less tension.

Perfect if your knees feel cranky.
Even better if they don’t—and you want to keep moving well for years to come.

We move slowly, mindfully, and always within a range that feels good for you.

✨ Your first class is free - just comment below and I’ll be in touch to book you in
🕙 Thursday 10am
📍Palm Beach Community Centre

It’s always so moving to hear when someone starts to feel a real shift—not just in their body, but in their whole system.
Steph shared this with me after just one week of using the app:

“I had been using the app for about a week when I went to my regular yoga class—I felt a real difference in my body.

I’ve had tightness and pain in my neck, shoulders and hips for as long as I can remember, and have been on a journey with different exercises and remedial treatments. While each has been helpful in its own way, I became aware that something was missing.

My body didn’t seem to know how to relax or let go. It was still holding tension—even in sleep. I’d wake with my shoulders hunched toward my ears. Intellectually, I knew what my body needed, but I couldn’t seem to do it on my own.

After just a few weeks, I can already feel my body and my nervous system starting to repattern—to remember how to soften, how to relax.”

Ever notice how your body feels tense even when you’re trying to relax?

Like your shoulders won’t drop, your breath stays shallow, and there’s just this low-level buzz running through you?

That’s not in your head—it’s your nervous system doing what it’s learned to do when life feels too much.
We all go into “go mode” when we’re stressed… but the problem is, we often get stuck there.

Your body holds on.
It tightens to protect you.
And unless you teach it how to let go, it stays wired.

That’s where Somatic movement comes in.
It’s not stretching or working out—it’s a gentle, mindful way of moving that helps your nervous system shift out of stress mode.
So you can soften what’s tight, breathe a little deeper, and actually feel calm again.

Mental health is something that touches all of us—often when we least expect it. Last year was a tough one for our family, and this cause is deeply personal. I’m walking for Beyond Blue because I know how powerful it is to feel supported, heard, and not alone.

I’d love your support as I embark on this 30km walk organised by —whether it’s a donation, sharing this post, or simply checking in with someone you care about. Let’s keep the conversation going and make help-seeking feel normal (because it should be).

And yes… I’m 100% dreaming of the spa, sauna and of course a massage at the finish line!

Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions?

It’s so easy to slip into autopilot—doing all the things, ticking off the list, moving without really feeling.

When that happens, we lose touch with what’s actually going on inside. We stop noticing the subtle signals—the tension creeping in, the way we’re holding ourselves, the habits that slowly build into discomfort or dysfunction.

From the inside, it’s not the body we sense—it’s the experience of being in the body.
The sensations, the movement, the internal feedback that tells us where we are and how we’re moving.
But if we’re too distracted to notice it… we disconnect.

That’s why Somatic movement matters.
It gives you a moment to pause. To listen. To come back home to your body.

Not to fix or stretch or push—just to notice. To sense. To self-correct.
That’s where real change starts.

Ever feel like walking should be easier? If your pelvis isn’t moving freely, every step can feel stiff
and restricted affecting your hips, knees, and even feet.
This week in class, we will be focusing on freeing up the pelvis, waist and hips so walking feels lighter,
smoother, and more effortless. Through gentle somatic movements, we’ll release tension,
restore mobility, and rewire movement patterns for a more natural, pain free walking stride.
Join me in class this week, 10am Palm Beach Community Centre—booking link in bio (reach
out directly to enjoy your first class free)
Move freely, live fully with Manipura Body.
