Whilst the world is busy dissecting the Beckhams 👀 I want to take a moment for the actual national treasure that is Declan Donnelly.

I actually think it’s genuinely refreshing that Dec has spoken so openly on Fearne’s about how he can’t just sit down and watch tv without that nagging feeling that he should be doing something else.

So many of us will recognise that constant low-level anxiety, because so many of us are quietly living with the exact same thing.

The inability to fully switch off.
The background hum of “I should be more productive right now.”

From a nervous system perspective, this makes complete sense 👇

When your nervous system has been living in a mild but chronic stress response, rest doesn’t feel safe.
Stillness feels unfamiliar and slowing down can bring guilt instead of relief.

So your body stays on alert - scanning, planning, doing - even when you’re exhausted. Because your system has learned that being alert = being safe.

This is especially common in:
• high achievers
• parents & care givers
• people who’ve lived in hustle or survival mode for a long time
• anyone who’s been praised for productivity over rest

And no, the answer isn’t meditation harder, complicated morning routines, or just ‘being more present’. It’s teaching your nervous system that nothing bad happens when you stop.

That’s why, if you work with me or come to my sessions, we rest first - always. Not as a reward. Not once you’ve earned it. We move intuitively, not performatively. There’s nothing to fix, improve or prove. And I share practical tools that help an overactive nervous system actually down-regulate; so your body can stop bracing, unclench, and learn what safety feels like again.

So shoutout to Dec for reminding us that just because this way of living is common, it doesn’t mean it’s normal. We don’t have to live in constant tension, in a state of vigilance awaiting next thing. We can break free from this old conditioning and live life unhustled - without opting out of ambition or shrinking ourselves in the process.

Hands up if you can relate 🙆‍♀️

January in the wellness space can feel LOUD.
Detoxes. Resets. Routines. “Fix yourself” energy everywhere 🥱

NOURISH is an invitation to step away from the noise and take it back to basics.

No extremes. No expectations. Just simple, evidence-based nutrition from the amazing The Basic Nutritionist to support healthy habits, followed by gentle movement and breathwork to calm your nervous system and help you feel calmer, more connected and at home in your body.

The truth is, energy doesn’t come from doing more or trying harder. It comes from nourishment, rest and regulation.

If January has left you feeling tired, flat or overstimulated by the wellness world, come and exhale with us. You’ll leave feeling grounded and empowered - equipped with practical tools to support your energy, mood and wellbeing, long after January is over.

✨ Refreshments + goodie bag included

January doesn’t need another overhaul.
It needs care, compassion and habits that actually last.

Nourish is an invitation to learn, rest and reconnect with your body - without guilt, pressure or perfection.

Sofi’s ( The Basic Nutritionist ) no-nonsense approach to nutrition and wellbeing has blown up over recent years - and for good reason! She breaks things down simply and clearly, so you can make confident, informed choices that support your health and your enjoyment of food.

Sophie believes rest doesn’t need to be earned, hustled for or justified. There’s no prize for pushing through exhaustion or “powering on” when your body is asking for care. This work is rooted in the belief that slowing down is productive, that gentle support beats force every time, and that winter is a season for resting, nourishing and restoring - not burning yourself out trying to be someone new.

If January usually leaves you feeling behind before you’ve even started, this is your invitation to do it differently.

No experience necessary.
Come as you are 💛

Hello 2026.
No big reinventions here. Just self-awareness.

Old habits still try it on.
Difference is, I catch them early.
No spiral. No self-blame. Just “ahhh… there it is.”

Like the deeply rooted urge to be productive during time off instead of actually resting..
Apparently a lifelong project.

Still building a business.
Still doing the corporate thing.
Still the unofficial project manager of family life 🤪

Not behind.
Not broken.
Just learning out loud.

Remembering we’re human beings, not doings.
Unhustling, one moon cycle at a time.

Hello 2026.
Same me. Stronger boundaries ✌️

✨ If this resonates, you’re my people. ✨

The shiny part 🌟

From a failed house move, commuting the kids to a different school for a term, job wobbles, letting go of some classes.. it’s good to look back and remember it’s been a year filled with joy too!

Special trips, exciting collabs, my second retreat, festivals with the fam, trying new things, adventures with friends, becoming a fully fledged soccer/dance mom, goodbye nursery > hello school 🫣, more gigs, cosy Christmas.

Grateful for all these moments and everything in-between! ✨

HNY everyone - here’s to 2026!

🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga at the Market Hall 🧘🏼‍♂️

I currently run a weekly Power Yoga class (6-7pm) at Cleobury Mortimer Market Hall

Power yoga is for people who are looking for a strong, energising workout that builds strength, stamina and focus - without needing to be flexible or “good at yoga.” It’s ideal if you like to move, challenge yourself, and leave feeling accomplished, grounded, and clear-headed.

I’m thinking of adding a second class, Slow Flow (7.10-8pm) - let me know with a 👍 or a comment below if you’re interested, or feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions.

Slow Flow is a gentle, beginners-friendly style of yoga that moves at a more gentle pace, giving you time to breathe, feel and understand each posture. It’s open to all bodies and abilities, with options throughout, and is perfect if you want to move mindfully, build confidence, and leave feeling calm and grounded.

I’ve been teaching classes locally for 6 years and have completed 400+ hours of training and CPD to offer no-pressure, feel-good yoga that meets you where you are - whether it’s your first class or your fiftieth.

We’re a friendly bunch ☺️ and would love to welcome you on the mat in 2026! 🧘🏻‍♀️

You don’t even have to commit to a block of classes, you can pay as you go as suits, but pre-booking is essential as spaces are limited.

All classes can be booked at https://yogawithsophie.as.me
