🌊 Motivation fluctuates.
And so does capacity.

The work is finding a way of moving that meets your body where it is, and let's you come back again.

And again.

And again.

That's where strength actually builds. 💪🏽

You don’t need a “new you” this January.

You don’t need to fix yourself, overhaul your life, or prove anything to anyone.

📣 January can be loud.
Full of expectations, opportunities we’re told we must seize, and pressure to start again. Perfectly.

But for a lot of us, what we’re actually craving is quieter.
Slower.
A little more tender.

And that doesn’t mean we’re doing it wrong.

🔥 Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do for your body and mind is less, not more.

A steadier pace.
Gentle movement.
Routine without pressure.

This is how I’m approaching the start of the year.

Not chasing change, but creating space for it to unfold, if and when it’s right.

💙 Save this for when the January noise gets loud.

There's a lot of pressure, especially at this time of year, to do more. 😵‍💫

Move more.
Train harder.
"Make the most" of this time.

But effective movement isn't always intense movement. (And intense movement isn't always effective!)

Sometimes it is slower.
Sometimes it is simpler.
Sometimes it is just enough.

💪🏾 This is the foundation of how I teach yoga and approach strength training. Working with your nervous system and not against it.

It isn't always the right time to push the body as hard as possible.

Especially in the festive season.
Especially when energy is low.
Especially when life is full.

Keep listening to your body. 💜

The end of the year can feel… a lot. 😵 Full calendars, full minds, full emotions... and somehow we’re still expected to be calm, centred and endlessly “on it”.

But calm doesn’t have to come from breathwork, meditation or anything “structured”.

For many people (asthma, colds, anxiety, sensory overwhelm), breathwork isn’t soothing at all, sometimes it makes things worse or feels too forced.

So here is a reminder that calm can be simple. Accessible. Human. 🙏🏾

That you deserve pockets of peace even when life is busy, messy or loud.

These are 5 ways I personally reset when my system feels overstimulated. No breath cues, no deep inhales, just gentle ways to help your body down-regulate and come back to yourself.

As we head into the festive season, please remember:

✨ You’re allowed to slow down
✨ You’re allowed to take up space
✨ You’re allowed to rest without earning it

💜 Save this for the days you need a moment and send to a loved one who needs this.

You deserve to feel calm.

A weekend of yoga, nature and food up in the Cairngorms with .lake

My very first yoga retreat, and it was absolutely wonderful. 🧘🏾‍♀️

This wee escape is just I needed after jumping straight back into work and life post hiking challenge/holiday.

🙏🏾 We were treated to wonderful baking, various yoga that was clearly from the heart rooted in yoga philosophy and the beauty of Scotland in wintery atmospheric conditions.

I took the time to unwind this weekend, giving me the chance to rekindle my love for what I do and inspire some things to come...watch this space!

Thank you Angie!
