THE REALIGNMENT PILLAR OF WELLBEING AT METTA

Posture. Movement. Balance.
Realignment is one of Metta’s five core pillars of wellbeing designed to restore structural harmony in the body. When posture is balanced and movement flows with ease, both body and mind feel stronger, lighter, and more resilient. This pillar helps relieve restrictions, chronic pain and injury, improve mobility, and support long-term wellbeing.

The Science of Realignment:
When the body is out of alignment, it places strain on muscles, joints, and connective tissues, often leading to pain, stiffness, and fatigue. Realignment therapies restore structural balance, allowing for efficient movement, improved circulation and breathing, and reduced risk of injury. The result is a body that feels freer, more stable, and better supported in daily life.

THE RELAXATION PILLAR OF WELLBEING AT METTA

Relax. Repair. Restore.
Relaxation is one of Metta’s five core pillars of wellbeing - an invitation to pause, slow down, and reconnect. Step into a peaceful escape where the noise of daily life fades away. Through deeply soothing treatments, the Relaxation pillar calms both body and mind, restoring balance, resilience, and long-term wellbeing.

The Science of Deep Relaxation:
Through specialised techniques, your body can drift into a delta brainwave state, the same deeply restorative state found in quality sleep. Just one hour of deep relaxation here can feel like several hours of rest, helping your nervous system reset, stress levels drop, and natural balance return.

Tailored Therapies for Deep Peace:
This pillar is all about immersive rest, slow touch, and serene recovery. It’s perfect for anyone seeking deep rest, and stress relief.

What are the 5 Core Pillars of Wellbeing at
Metta Yoga & Massage….

At Metta we believe a holistic approach restores, prevents, and maintains your wellbeing and is built on five interconnected core wellbeing pillars:

• Relaxation deep rest to trigger your body into a delta brainwave state (similar to deep sleep) to restore energy and calm the nervous system.
• Realignment improving posture, mobility, and structural balance.
• Therapeutic - targeted treatments to relieve pain and support healing.
• Sculpting - techniques to tone, lift, and rejuvenate and enhance the aesthetics of the body and face.
• Emotional & Mental Clarity - practices that release stress, ground, and encourage inner balance, leading to attuning to your emotional world and becoming calm and clear minded.

This month we are spotlighting the Relaxation Pillar - your invitation to rest deeply, repair, and restore.

You don’t need to be flexible to start yoga. Yoga meets you exactly where you are. Flexibility is not a requirement, it’s a result.

Flexibility comes with time, but the true practice is about breathing, awareness, and learning to listen to your body.

What do you think stops most people from trying yoga?

Why we find it so hard to slow down…

In many cultures, “doing” is praised more than “being.” We push through tiredness, drink coffee instead of resting, and wear busyness like a badge of honour. Yet our bodies were never designed to run at full speed all the time.

Here’s what actually happens when you pause:
• Your breath deepens, sending signals of safety to the brain.
• Stress hormones lower, allowing digestion and healing to take place.
• The mind becomes clearer, making space for new ideas and creativity.

Slowing down isn’t wasted time, it’s how your body restores balance. Even two minutes of conscious breathing can shift your state.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to truly stop?

Always Learning, Always Growing - can growing be limitless?!

I’m currently reading another counselling and psychotherapy book as I prepare to start my Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling.

It’s exciting to think about how this training will build on everything I already do in yoga, massage, and wellness, as well as my background in anthropology and sociology. The more I learn, the more I see just how deeply mind and body are connected.

For me, ongoing learning isn’t just about adding skills; it’s about becoming a better listener, guide, and presence for the people I work with.

What is something you have learned recently that’s helped you grow in mind, body, or both?

Take a moment right now…

Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose. Feel your ribs expand.

Exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension in your jaw and shoulders.

Ask yourself:
“What’s one small act of kindness I can offer myself today?”

It could be a five minute break outside, a glass of water, cup of herbal tea, or simply speaking to yourself the way you would speak to someone you love.

Gentle choices matter. Your body and mind notice.

August Wellness: Stretches to Try in the Comfort of Your Bed!

Start or end your day in stillness and softness without even getting up.
Here are two gentle stretches you can do lying down in bed to calm your body and quiet your mind:

1. Supine Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana)

How:
Lie on your back, hug your right knee into your chest, then guide it across your body to the left. Let your arms open wide. Gaze can stay upwards or gently turn right.
Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat on the other side.

Benefits:
• Eases spinal tension
• Realigns the spine
• Relieves back pain
• Stretches back muscles and glutes
• Opens tight shoulders and chest
• Massages the digestive organs
• Supports detox and lymphatic flow
• Calms the nervous system

2. Knees-to-Chest (Apanasana)

How:
Lie on your back, draw both knees into your chest. Wrap your arms around your shins or place hands on your knees. Draw your head to your knees to increase the stretch if you would like.
Stay for 5–10 slow breaths.

Benefits:
• Releases the lower back and hips, reducing tension
• Decompresses the spine
• Improves flexibility and mobility of hips, hamstrings and glutes
• Improves the posture
• Grounds anxious energy and has a calming effect
• Soothes the belly
• Prepares body for deep rest

Let August be a month of nourishing yourself and tuning in.
You don’t need a mat or a studio, just your breath, your bed, and a few quiet moments to reconnect.

Try one of these tonight? Your spine, gut and heart will thank you.

Ever heard of fascia?

It is a web of connective tissue that wraps through your whole body with no break - supporting movement, posture, and even your emotional well-being. When fascia (or myofascia around muscles) gets tight from stress, injury, or stillness, it can cause pain and restriction anywhere in the body.

Think of it like a full-body suit, if one part is stuck, the whole system feels it.

Tips for healthy fascia:

• Move often & mindfully
• Stretch and hydrate tissue
• Use foam rollers or massage balls
• Yoga, massage, or myofascial release

At Metta Yoga & Massage in Bath & Bristol, I offer Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy and Restorative Yoga to help restore hydration and mobility to your fascia so you move freely, your body realigns, and feel better in your body.
