As we reach the Solstice, we pause.
The longest night.
A turning point.
A time when things naturally slow down.
Many of us find ourselves reflecting more — on work, purpose, and what we want to carry forward.

Over the past year I’ve been holding a question close:
How do we share yoga and wellbeing in ways that honour lived experience, depth, and real life?

From that question, Wisdom in Motion has been growing — a yoga teacher training created especially for people in mid-life and beyond who feel a gentle pull to share yoga, health, and presence in a grounded, thoughtful way.

In January and February, I’m offering a small number of taster sessions — a chance to experience the feel of the training, without pressure or commitment.

Taster session dates:
Online (Zoom)
• Thursday 22nd January, 7.00–8.15pm
• Thursday 12th February, 7.00–8.15pm
In person – Holistic Health Hub, Halesworth
• Saturday 24th January, 10.30am–12.00pm
• Saturday 14th February, 10.30am–12.00pm

These sessions include gentle practice, reflection, and space to ask questions — whether you’re exploring teacher training or simply listening for what’s next.

If this resonates, you’re warmly welcome.
And if you know someone standing at a quiet turning point, please feel free to share. Book from this link :

What a wonderful taster session this week — such thoughtful questions, generative chats, and inspiring conversations. It’s always a joy to share these practices and see how they land in different ways for each of us.
I’m feeling grateful for the sense of connection and curiosity that everyone brought — and now looking forward to our retreat on Saturday. A day of nourishing practices, gentle rest, and sharing lovely food together.
Grateful for this work and the people it brings together

A new chapter begins…
Many people reach a stage in life where they’re ready for something deeper — to share what they’ve learned, to live with more purpose, and to teach from the heart.

That’s what Wisdom in Motion is all about — a Yoga Teacher Training designed for people aged 40+ who want to bring yoga and wellbeing into their communities in a grounded, holistic way.

Join a free online Taster Session to explore whether this path is right for you.

Led by Michelle Cheesbrough, Senior Yoga Teacher & Therapist (25 years’ experience).

I would love to live
Like a river flows,
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.

Attitudes are changing: a new global report reveals that yoga is a powerful path to wellbeing and therapeutic care not just exercise. This is something that we at the Minded Institute have witnessed for years: a major global shift in how yoga is understood - and used.

Yoga is no longer seen as just a series of postures. It’s increasingly recognised as a comprehensive wellbeing practice, one that includes breathing techniques, meditation, and lifestyle integration, with tangible benefits for both mental and physical health.

People are turning to yoga not for performance, but for support:
🧠 to manage anxiety and burnout
🫁 to regulate the nervous system
💓 to prevent and ease conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and chronic stress
🧘‍♀ and to cultivate clarity, presence, and emotional resilience.

📈 The EMR report projects sustained global growth through 2034, fuelled by rising demand for preventative, integrative approaches to health.

With growing recognition of yoga’s full therapeutic scope, this is a pivotal moment for yoga therapy—unleashing long-awaited momentum.

This is a landmark moment for yoga therapy, a field The Minded Institute has helped shape by combining traditional yogic knowledge with scientific rigour to support mental health, chronic conditions, and whole-person care.

Yoga is no longer being treated as something supplementary.
It’s being recognised for what it truly is: essential.
