I’m super excited to share the stage with my friend Valli at this yoga event in Inverlock in May: “Ancient wisdom meets modern science”, where we talk about the scientific explanation of slow
poses- asanas, vagus nerve, somatic awareness of interoception and proprioception, all with lots of movement and fun, in a plain language, with lots of dance and laughter. 💃

Science does not need to be boring!
💃💃💃

Slow body movement with mindful
attention to the breath is an essential aspect of physical exercise for women in and when our accumulative stress is not even detected by our brain as stress and is perceived as everyday life.
But our autonomic nervous system knows very well what stress is.
is a restorative exercise, often dismissed and neglected, but vital at this transitional stage of a woman’s life.

Come along to Inverlock to do yoga and dance with us.💃💃
Let’s have fun while we share knowledge and science💃

Today is International Women's Day—a historical symbol of past struggles rather than just a one-day celebration, as one would hope.
Honouring women once a year while marginalising, dismissing, and forgetting them as less than men the other 364 days is no longer acceptable.
Women don't need to be placed on a pedestal once a year like a trophy.
It's just not OK any more.
Instead, let us recognise this day as a reminder of progress while committing to celebrating and supporting the women in our lives daily.

Stress is the hidden elephant in the room of the perimenopause transition

Stress is ubiquitous in modern life, but its impact can be magnified during perimenopause. The hormonal fluctuations of this stage can heighten our stress response, making us more susceptible to its detrimental effects. Chronically elevated stress levels can exacerbate various perimenopausal sympt
