There are days my nervous system feels tired long before I even unlock the studio door.
Not broken. Not wrong. Just quietly asking for gentleness.
A body that’s holding more than it did yesterday.
A heart that’s been giving a lot.
And I used to wonder if that meant I shouldn’t be the one holding space.
But this practice has softened that belief in me.
Because I’ve learned that presence doesn’t come from having it all together.
It comes from being willing to stay.
To breathe.
To listen - to myself first.
Some days I teach from strength.
Other days I teach from tenderness.
Both are honest.
Both belong.
This is the space I offer.
Not a place where you have to arrive energised, flexible, healed or positive.
But a place where your low days are allowed too.
If you’re carrying more than you let on,
if your energy feels fragile,
if you just need somewhere you don’t have to explain yourself.
You are welcome here.
As always, with love, Irina 🤍
