If your body feels a bit offline lately, try this.
No fixing.
Just enough movement to remind you you’re here.

Some days my mind is busy before I even notice it’s busy.

This is the little sequence I use when I need to soften the edges, come back into my breath, and remember that I actually live in a body - not just in my head.

Nothing fancy. Just folding, opening, twisting, and breathing.

A slow return.

Save this for the days when you feel a bit spun out, a bit tight, a bit everywhere.

And if you want to do it together, you know where to find us ;)

If life’s been a lot lately (same), consider this your permission to slow down.
Not a big overhaul — just a small, steady return to yourself.

Our Two Week Trial ($50) offers unlimited yoga, Pilates, soundbath + stillness at a human pace.

Come breathe.
Come move.
Come feel human again.

Three Acupressure Points for a Steadier Digestion.
(Save this reel for later)

This time of year can pull us out of our usual rhythm: fuller calendars, different foods, a little less routine.
If your belly feels a touch off-centre, these three points can help you come back to yourself, one gentle press at a time.

📍 PC6 - Inner Gate
On the inner forearm.
This point soothes the stomach and helps soften that tight, queasy feeling that arrives when the system is running a bit fast.
Beautiful for calming the heart-mind and easing digestive tension.

📍 CV12 - Middle Stomach
Right at the center line between your ribs and navel.
CV12 supports the whole digestive landscape — helping things move with more ease, grounding the belly, and offering a sense of internal spaciousness.

📍 ST36 - Leg Three Miles
Just below the knee.
A classic for strengthening digestion and overall vitality.
Think of it as a gentle nudge that helps your system stay steady when life feels a little more layered.

Use slow, steady pressure. Breathe into the sensation.
Book a session if you want deeper work.

A calm nervous system isn’t the absence of feeling. It’s the presence of capacity.

When the body isn’t drowning in survival mode, it finally has room to sense instead of brace.
Big emotions don’t disappear, they land without taking us out at the knees.
Grief can move. Joy can expand. Anger can speak instead of explode.

Regulation isn’t about becoming quiet, steady, or polite.
It’s about having enough internal steadiness to stay with what’s true.

Life will still hand us intensity.
A regulated system just means we can meet it with choice instead of reflex______,
respond instead of react, soften instead of shut down, stay present instead of disappear.

Not smaller.
More alive.
More able to feel everything without losing ourselves in the flood.

________There is so much life inside that little space before you move.
The pause.
The breath.
The moment where you decide how gently you want to meet yourself today.

I have been practicing staying there a little longer.
Not rushing.
Not reaching for distraction.
Letting the silence steady me before the world speeds up again.

It is amazing what becomes possible when you give yourself that much room.

I’ve been doing this thing lately where I let myself be bored.
And honestly… I am shocked at how much comes alive when I stop reaching for stimulation.

My breath.
My body.
My imagination.
My actual capacity to feel connected to myself and other people.

All of it expands in the quiet.
All of it softens when I put my phone down and give the “be productive” part of me a rest day.

Stillness is not empty.
It is full of everything you’ve been too busy to feel.
And it is sexy in ways I forgot possible.

Let this season be slower.
Let your nervous system catch up.
Let your body lead.

A little “yay, new!” for your pits. 🍎

Bonita Applebom just hit the retail shelf and the vibe is warm apples, soft spice, and a dash of nostalgia that shouldn’t smell this good… but does.

Apple • Clove • Nutmeg • Vanilla
WARM • SPICED • SOFTLY NOSTALGIC

Inner Circle members get 10% off — small joys matter.

We talk a lot about slowing down, but it’s not just about pace… it’s about presence.

Behind every massage, every yoga class, every breathwork session at Slow Medicine, there’s this deeper thread: learning to feel at home in yourself again.

Sometimes that begins with something as simple as this gesture; hands near the ears, breath steady, body remembering that it’s safe to rest.

This is the work beneath the work. The practice beneath the practice. The medicine that meets you where you already are.

“Slow down — you’re doing fine.”

A quiet moment caught in reflection — soft light, warm tones, and the reminder that stillness is its own kind of strength.

10/03/2025

Slow down, you’re doing just fine.

____ A cozy corner for deep exhales, warm conversations, and remembering that rest is productive.

THE SURRENDER | July 20 | 7:00 PM
[yin yoga + aromatherapy event]

Ready to give your fight or flight response a rest? We’ll start with a whiff of Sweet Orange, a bright scent that says “just chill.” Then you’ll settle into floor hugging yin postures that coax every tight spot into softening. Once you’re fully relaxed, inhale Frankincense during a brief seated meditation. After class, stick around for some iced tea and low key mingling—because doing nothing never felt so good.

All levels welcome; mats and props provided!
$30 pp
