Rachel Jennings - Pain-free Movement and Feng Shui

So what might or functional movement look like?

This is a great short flow from ground to standing. Very Feldie-inspired.

Much of it is based on developmental movements we did as we grew from our baby days to crawling, toddling and walking.

Slow it down if you're practicing.

Smoothness not speed.

Beautiful movement FEELS good.

That's how your body tells you you're moving well.

Let go of stretching and straining. There are other ways to be in the world 🌍

Let me know how you get on!

We're going to be doing a bit of this in yoga today in Crich 💚

When you get back pain, what do you go to as your first response?

If the answer is "stretching", you could probably get better results learning some different approaches.

While it might feel that tightness in muscles is the enemy, it's often a natural compensation response from your body.

So there are other ways that engage the neuromuscular system to reduce tension.

One of my favourites is Feldenkrais method, which works to integrate the body-mind-movement and create better habits and increases our awareness.

Actually upgrading our operating system and programming.

Often the first thing I do with new patients is start to address their movement patterns to become more "whole body" or integrated.

🧩 Try bending forwards and see what happens to your head and your knees, you'll get some useful insights.

🧩 Because if you're habitually locking out your knees when you want to bend- you're blocking the ability of your spine to flex.

🧩 If you discover your head and neck are cocked up, rather than dangling relaxed- you may be habitually keeping your spine locked from releasing from the top.

So your back issues could be much more linked up other areas of the body and how you use, tense or hold these.

Without realising.

If you'd like to have your movement secrets revealed and a program of feel-good moves to address this, let's get together and solve the puzzle 🧩

A more aware, better-moving body means a lifetime of more ease, comfort and joy.

Feeling more youthful and coordinated as you age.

Unlocking your real capacity and physical capabilities.

I have 2 appointments come available tomorrow (Friday) 1 and 2 tomorrow, if you'd like to start working with me.

Hi there, a little apology for the website having had security issues. Now all fixed and secure to visit with some more on my Feng Shui consulting.

If you've ever experienced back spasms, I've written about it in my blog. From a personal perspective and as a back specialist.

I hope it will be really helpful to understand, if you've had one before or when others you know have this distressingly unpleasant symptom.

What it usually means.

Which may not be what you think..

If you can relate, I'd love to hear.

In Feng Shui, it's all about the numbers.. and this year, being a 1, is the start of a whole new period. Which means a huge RESET opportunity: for our homes, careers, relationships, lives. Everything we shed, in leaving the Wood Snake energy of 2025, creates space for the Fire Horse 🐎 to enter.
How has this felt for you in 2026 so far?
I'm really feeling the call to clean and freshen up my house in Crich. Since qualifying as a feng shui consultant, I'm much more aware of de-cluttering to influence the Chi, the energy and vibration I'm getting from my surroundings. If you need some inspiration or guidance: 🌟Go ceiling to floor, as if you're getting the dwelling ready for sale or rent 🌟 Ask if items are fit for your new life or supportive of future plans? 🌟 Do you love it? If it doesn't "Spark Joy", pass it on to someone it does
🌟What story does your house currently tell? Is it the one you want to be manifesting? 🌟Now is the perfect time to let go of old or negatively-associated items 🌟Broken things really need mending or replacing if you want to create a prosperous vibe 🌟Really look at your front door and hall for clutter that may be blocking opportunities reaching you.
🌟It's all very symbolic too- if you look at art work and photos. Are they suggesting the life and relationships you'dlike more of? 🌟Are your plants thriving? If not, it's a good time to replace them or for some tlc .
☯️I will be offering 2.5 hour home visits for Simple Feng Shui for £249. The 5 best points to focus on for maximum improvement in your home or work. And phone consultations too. I'd love to help you make the most of this ancient wisdom at such an auspicious time. 07877320723

So how are your healthy New Year resolutions going?

I really love this! For everyone who hates gyms 🥰

If you're looking for something special to accompany you across the threshold into 2026 and a deeper, more spiritual connection to life, I can highly recommend the Gene Keys by Richard Rudd.

It's the subject of my second instalment of "What changed me in 2025" on Substack. These are things that really influenced me professionally, personally, spiritually. Things that I'd love others to know about too and will be bringing into my work.

And the guided Sage's Golden Path online retreat has just started tonight: the perfect time for having an Epiphany.

A bright healthy new year to you all, from me and India.

I'm back to healing duties today and have space for someone this afternoon around 2 in Holloway.

If you'd like to read my first post on Substack, about "What changed me in 2025 Part 1, head over to have a read.

It's about a teacher and therapist who has greatly influenced my professional practice and personal thinking about trauma, pain and fatigue : Sam Miller.

Find her on youtube!
Really life-changing content for anyone who is suffering with these type of symptoms and isn't on the road to a better place.

Winter Monday morning (rainy) routine ❤️
As a yoga teacher, it always saddens me that many people are put off trying yoga. Often by fear of not being able to do it.
There are so many types that there is definitely something for you..
If you'd like a personal recommendation, just ask.

To me, it means being (in my body), really immersed in all my senses, honouring ancient wisdom and spiritual practices that we need now more than ever to remind us to breathe, to let go and be present. Not in my head.

Being present really is the gift 🎁

I love learning, so love doing classes with other teachers.
And so the living thread of yoga continues on.

Me and India can highly recommend the lovely geordie- Jo Hutton and her cat in front of a fire. In a room full of others in their jimjams, still half asleep.
It's a great way to start the day. And as it says on the tin- designed for people who want a gentler class.
Like me!
*The legs on the sofa is a great position for releasing lower back muscles too.
A favourite from the yoga for backs course..

Good morning! If you feel your "frequency" or the energy you give out could do with a makeover, have a listen to this from

I love how hypnotherapy can really clear our mental and emotional clutter and our secret stumbling blocks.

It's a reminder of how to connect with your centre, your own power, your authenticity.

How we get in our own way of success, health: all the good things.

How did you get sick? It's usually very simple.
I have found this awareness so helpful in my life.
Sam explains it so clearly and has so many great resources on youtube for chronic illness, fatigue, pain etc

Let me know how it lands with you.

Chronic symptoms and illnesses are not random or purely physical, but expressions of unprocessed emotions and trauma held in the mind and body. When emotions...
