Okay, here me out…

I feel like there’s a million and one posts on social media saying discipline is key for your movement practice whether that be yoga or gym or running or *insert favourite exercise here*.

Now don’t get me wrong a routine or “discipline” of course helps.

BUT…

There are also many factors which might be being completely ignored here.
🧬 hormonal differences between men and women - hello 24hr/ 28 day hormone cycles
😴 burn out - physical and emotional
🌀the 4 stages of our female hormone cycle - sometimes movement is key here sometimes rest is exactly what you need
🤍recovery - not everything someone is recovering from is visible and recovery takes time
✨ hormones again but adding ‘stress’ from exercise to an already stressed and burnt out nervous system and body could be doing more harm than good.

In other words, if you’re listening to your body and what your body actually needs this is key to overall health and wellbeing.
If your feeling strong and want to be squatting 100kg go for it
If it’s a yin yoga practice go for it
If it’s taking a nap go for it

There a massive difference between avoiding movement and resting when your body and mind need it

On World Mental Health Day, may we remember that yoga isn’t about escaping the mind — it’s about meeting it with compassion.

Through breath, stillness, and movement, we return home to ourselves.

Each time we step on the mat, we practice caring for our inner world.

Movement becomes medicine, breath becomes balance, and awareness becomes peace.

Been working with the Earth element this week, grounding, presence, stability, safety

Every time I step on my mat, I’m reminded of the grounding power of earth.

To root down, to feel steady, to let my foundation hold me while I explore the edges of balance and shape

Yoga is never just about the pose — it’s about finding that deep connection between body, breath, and the ground that holds us unconditionally

Maybe the secret thing to support our wellbeing isn’t more things on a to do list. Maybe it’s slowness and simplifying our routines

😴 prioritising sleep
📱 less screen time
💦 hydration
🧘🏼‍♀️ gentle movement even for 5 mins
☀️ nature and natural light

It really doesn’t need to be complicated or included multiple steps. Keep it simple. Make it work for you

As women we know,

Our body, our gut, our heart, our bones

We just know.

That’s our intuition, the more we listen to this the more we can trust it and ourselves.

When something does feel right, it’s probably not right
When a place makes us feel unease, there’s a reason

I feel like we are taught to ignore these signs from our body, ignore those whispers from our intuition.

Please give yourself the opportunity and respect to listen to that inner wisdom and trust it

Women we are so powerful use your superpowers

Sacred pause…
In the post retreat bubble where you’re not quite ready to step back into the real world but we’ve finished the closing ceremony and hugged all the girls goodbye

Holding these spaces, creating these offerings and witnessing these incredible women

What an honour and blessing this path is

We did it! 🥳🌀🤍

A little appreciation post for this incredible girly pop and best friend

What started out as a dream has well and truly become our reality. Hosting a yoga retreat in Bali is something we only thought we could dream about but through hard work, love, passion and creativity we’ve created something so special.

Holding space for each other during the planning process, leaning into our own skill sets and supporting each other every step of the way.

Alice, doing this with you has been such a pleasure and I’m so grateful to work with you and have you as my friend 🤍

Filling my own cup up before I fill yours 🤍

A blissful few days in Bali, resting and recharging after a crazy few months.

A little bit of time reflecting on what was a dream and a passing comment to over a year ago. It’s now reality.

We’ve poured so much love and energy into what we’ve created here and I couldn’t be more proud.

Planning, preparing and delivering a retreat in Bali is such a pinch me moment and it’s here. The guests are arriving, the rooms are prepared, the classes are planned and we are ready

Okay now I’m crying 🥹
