Why is Child’s Pose so hard for some people?
It’s not your hamstrings — and nothing is “wrong” with you.

Here are the real reasons it can feel blocked:
⭐ Hip structure (bone shape!)
⭐ Tight hip flexors or quads
⭐ Stiff ankles
⭐ Soft-tissue compression
⭐ Lower-back tension
⭐ Knee limitations

Totally normal.
Totally common.
Totally FIXABLE with the right variations.

Try:
✔ Knees wide
✔ Cushion between hips + heels
✔ Pillow under the chest
✔ Towel under ankles
✔ A more upright “seat-back” version

Your body isn’t the problem —the position just needs to meet you where you are 💛

Why is it so hard to stick to new habits like exercise? 🤔

If you’ve ever started a new routine with excitement… only to fall off after a few weeks, you’re not alone. There are real psychological reasons behind it:

✨ Your brain loves the familiar – New habits require energy, and the brain prefers autopilot.
✨ Motivation fades – It’s normal. Relying on motivation alone sets you up for inconsistency.
✨ All-or-nothing thinking creeps in – If it’s not “perfect,” we often don’t do it at all.
✨ Slow progress feels discouraging – Early results are subtle, so it’s easy to lose steam.
✨ Stress pulls you back to old routines – When life gets busy, new habits get pushed aside.

But here’s the good news: you can work with your psychology, not against it. 💡

5 Ways to Make Exercise a Habit That Actually Sticks:

1️⃣ Start smaller than you think
2️⃣ Anchor your workout to something you already do
3️⃣ Reduce friction (lay out clothes, keep equipment ready)
4️⃣ Focus on being someone who takes care of their body—not on perfection
5️⃣ Celebrate every small win 🙌

Remember: consistency beats intensity.
Small steps, repeated often, create real transformation.

💪 WHY YOU FEEL SORE AFTER CLASS (AND WHY THAT’S A GOOD THING!)

That post-workout ache after our Body Conditioning with Bands or weights
It’s not a bad sign — it’s your body getting stronger. 💥

When you train, your muscles experience tiny tears (totally normal!).
During rest and recovery, your body repairs and rebuilds those fibres —
making you stronger, leaner, and more resilient every time.

You might feel sore for 24–48 hours after class — that’s your body adapting!
The best thing you can do? 👉 Stay consistent.
The more regularly you move, the quicker your recovery and the better your results.

(⚠️ Of course, if you ever feel sharp pain or something doesn’t feel right — let me know right away!)

Keep showing up — your future self will thank you. 💛
