Ahhhh, the highs and lows (literally and metaphorically) of training for this charity hike...⛰️

Took this past week off to focus on hiking specific training. Getting out into the Highlands, camping..tackling some bigger walks that need a bit more time to get to.

We changed tactics when we knew the glorious weather wouldnt last for our suggest cliff top sea view hike.

But my, did we underestimate the storms that came, the heavens opened and we were rained off. Unsafe underfoot, gusty winds. ⛈️⛈️

We made it back to Edinburgh to two days of lovely warm weather. Not too hot if you got out early enough. Wonderful.

🌞 To then end the week prevented from walking due to the heatwave hitting us, making walking in open hills without fresh water or shelter pretty unsafe for someone who's inflammation goes through the roof in this weather (oh..and a fluffy black dog who's got another week until her groom!)

We did tackle a raining walk in the Nevis region, and some of the Pentland peaks.

It has been a rollercoaster. 🎢 I am really not sure if I am ready for the charity hike. Quite frankly, though the objective measures say I've made so much progress, I worry I am not more capable of this multiway hike now than I was a year ago!

Onwards and upwards, time to double down on the training on and off the mountain for this final leg of training! 💪🏾💪🏾

Another wonderful client win that has a huge positive impact on his everyday life! 🤩

He has been dedicated to his workouts, all full body, but with a focus on strengthening the legs and improving stabilisers, whilst working with knee and back injuries.

I am so proud of him, building confidence in himself and working to build the body to support his everyday life. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

This, in my view, is why we do it! Our fitness routines are there to support our lives, not take over our lives.

I support clients to work with their body not against it. 💪🏾💪🏾 Personalising programmes to work fit your goals and your body, knowledge and experience from my PhD in Rehabilitation and PTing.

After 6 intense days on the go, between work and socialising, getting out to the Edinburgh Fringe and my own yoga practice...🤩🤩

My body nudged me to rest today.

My stamina for activity multiple days in a row has grown substantially since I stopped spending 40+ hours a week at a computer and started moving more. 💪🏾

But that doesn't make me invincible! Today I have taken time to look after mind and body..

I still got out for a gentle walk with the dog, but also watched a movie, fuelled my body with nourishing food, added to my travel adventure book and napped.

Time to look after your body and rest when you need it is vital. The signs are there, look out for them and listen ❤️

Absolutely wonderful performance, full of humour, skill and important reflections of the world today.

Whether you're a self professed 'yogi', yoga teacher, contemplating yoga as a student or teacher or just fancy learning something new, with no known interest in yoga...I would 100% recommend to you.

Right now, at the Edinburgh Fringe 1240 every day!

❌ “Textbook form”
✅ Your functional form

In this Jedi Box, we’re both doing the same thing in each picture… kind of.

The goal is a neat, aligned shape — arms straight and alongside ears, legs at 90deg to the body. 🔲

I have long legs and a short torso; while my husband has more even proportions.

But with two very different bodies, that “ideal” can’t happen for us to achieve the box shape.

And that’s not just true in acroyoga — it’s true across the board.

Whether you’re in a yoga class 🧘🏾‍♀️, lifting in the gym 🏋🏾‍♀️ , or practising inversions and balances 🤸🏽‍♀️, chasing someone else’s version of “perfect form” can sometimes hinder rather than help.

Functional alignment isn’t about fitting set pattern, it’s about working with your anatomy, your strength, your mobility.

It’s knowing why the form matters, and when it's helpful to adapt it. 💪🏾

Because good form doesn’t mean looking the same. It means moving safely, effectively, and sustainably — in your body.
