April was all about twists 🌿
Not just doing them… but understanding them.
How to move into them safely, how to create space first, and how to make them feel good in your body — not forced.
We kept coming back to the foundations
Inhale to lengthen
Exhale to rotate
Creating space before we move into the twist.
And remembering that most of our rotation comes from the mid-back — our heart space — not just the lower back or the neck.
We explored it all…
Seated twists, standing twists, and a few slightly chaotic ones for fun 😅
But the one we kept returning to…
my personal favourite…
reclined spinal twist.
The one where everything softens.
Knees fall to one side, gaze to the other, eyes gently closed.
Palms turned up, fingers soft.
Nothing to force.
Nothing to chase.
Just breathing… and allowing the body to settle.
A reminder that twists aren’t about forcing range —
they’re about exploring it, and noticing what feels possible in your body.
✨
Now we move into May… and we begin to play with balance.
Tree 🌳 Eagle 🦅 and a few wobbles along the way…
Not about “nailing” the pose —
but noticing what helps you feel steady.
If you’ve been coming along, you’ll start to feel how it all connects.
And if you’re new — you’re right on time 🤍
