Meet 102-year-old yoga instructor Charlotte Chopin.

She took her first yoga class at 50. She fell in love with it and never stopped going. At 60, she began teaching, and now, over 40 years later, she’s still leading classes three times a week.

“The best exercise is the one you’ll do.”

Trendy programs come and go, fitness tech evolves, and studies shift what’s “optimal.” But showing up consistently – because you enjoy what you’re doing – trumps it all.

How are you showing up for yourself?

This week in class we are exploring the concept of pratyahara—the withdrawal of the senses. Traditionally, this meant retreating to a cave for long stretches of uninterrupted meditation. And while the idea of escaping to a quiet cave might sound appealing (especially given the pace of the world today), unfortunately this not our path!

Instead, we can create our own version of pratyahara. Switch off your phone. Close the door. Let others know you’re unavailable for the next 30 minutes. These small acts can carve out space for introspection.

Turning inward isn’t something our culture encourages—but it’s powerful. It helps us step back from the noise, the busyness, the constant pull of distraction. I find it can bring a real sense of relief 🙏.

Enjoying a cup of Earl Grey, a quiet read, and a slice of vegan, gluten-free chocolate cake at one of my favourite spots— The Green Rocket Cafe in Bath. Their cakes are dangerously good… almost as good as Wise, Wild & Well's 😘

Throwback to last weekend — Nature is the best medicine. Exploring the Ilfracombe coastal path, breathing in the sea air, letting the wind clear my head, and soaking up the wild beauty all around. Spotted a kestrel hovering above the cliffs and watched seals bobbing in the bay — small moments that made it all the more special. Sometimes all you need is a path, a breeze, and a bit of space 🙏.

Spent a truly enchanting hour at the Jackie Morris Lost Spells exhibition at the Victoria Art Gallery. The blend of art, poetry, and nature is utterly captivating — a sensory escape into the wild and the magical. If you're local, I can't recommend it enough. It's only on for the next couple of weeks, so catch it while you can! 🦊🖼️

We all have to-do lists. But at last weekend’s retreat, we turned things around and invited everyone to write a to-don’t list instead. 🍂

Autumn is the season of letting go, after all. 😉

What are the habits, thoughts, or pressures you could release?
What’s no longer serving you?

Spend a few quiet minutes today thinking about what you’d like to leave behind — even if just for now.

📝 What’s on your to-don’t list?

(With thanks to Donna Ashworth for the inspiration 💛)

I created Mindful Strength because I know how easy it is to lose strength as we get older — and how amazing it feels to get it back 💪.

It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about showing up consistently, at your own pace, and noticing how everyday life gets easier.

If you’re curious or nervous, that’s okay. Come as you are.
I’ll meet you there.
