SHAKE THE DUST - OCT CLASS ✨

A class designed to help you release, reset + reconnect.

Think of it as a moving meditation , blending breath, rhythm, free movement, and body weight exercise, yoga + Pilates, guided practices that shake loose stress, tension, and “stuck” energy from the body.

Perfect for beginners + the curious: no dance experience needed, no right or wrong way to move. Just bring yourself, your breath, and a willingness to let go.

Expect grounding, gentle shaking, playful movement, deep release, and a calm, spacious afterglow. 🌿

🌀 Next class: Saturday 11th October - 11:30am -1pm
📍 HUB Fitness - Hitchin
✨ All bodies + levels welcome

Let’s shake off the old + make space for the new. Who’s in?

…my mind told me I was failing.

I hit the wall. The heat drained me, my body cramped, and every dark thought rushed in saying ‘you can’t do this,you’re not strong enough, just give up.’

I honestly was ready to sack it all in and just go to the pub!

But here’s the truth I keep learning through yoga and through my running journey : the mind is not always right.

The mind will tell stories, protects, catastrophes.

The body, however, holds a quieter wisdom. If we can soften enough to listen, it whispers: just one more step, just one more breath.

So I walked. I breathed. I had a little cry. I let go of the idea of a perfect race. I moved forward, even when it wasn’t pretty, even when it hurt. Somehow, step by step, my body carried me through even if it took longer than i expected.

This is why I love yoga and now running. It teaches us that strength is not about force, it’s about presence, patience, and the courage to keep showing up.

The body is extraordinary, not because it never falters, but because it keeps finding a way to move us forward even when the mind says no.

✨Our first Shake the Dust was something else… ✨

The room was alive!

First half marathon in the books 🏅

I’ll be honest I am disappointed with my time.

Cramp hit hard with 5k to go, the heat didn’t help, and I felt every single one of those 4 long runs I missed due to injury. My legs just didn’t have it yesterday.

But… perspective matters. 19 weeks of showing up, rehabbing, learning, and with the best support crew cheering me on, I crossed that finish line.

A year ago I hated running, then came my first 10k, and now a half marathon….next stop, a marathon next April.

Yesterday was brutal, but it also showed me just how much the body and mind can adapt. Hardest thing I’ve ever done, but also one of the proudest.✨

🔥❄️ Sauna + Cold Water Therapy through a Yoga Therapist’s Lens

✨ Body: Heat softens muscles, boosts circulation, and supports recovery. Cold immersion reduces inflammation and strengthens resilience. Together, they’re like a workout for your cardiovascular + lymphatic systems.

🧠 Mind: Hot–cold cycles release endorphins, calm stress hormones, and sharpen clarity. Regular sauna use has even been linked with reduced dementia risk.

💜 Emotions: The heat invites surrender, the cold awakens presence. This practice teaches resilience, grounding, and deeper embodiment much like yoga itself.

In yogic terms: release → awaken → integrate. 🌿

Zen Flow Running Diaries – Week 17/19 🏃‍♀️

The path is rarely straight. The last three weeks my hip impingement has been flaring, reminding me (loudly) that even the most finely tuned interoceptive awareness can be a double-edged sword.

When you can feel everything so clearly, every ni**le, every whisper of discomfort, sometimes it’s hard not to over-listen.

Seeing my osteo .osteo has helped me create a plan of action: rehab, strength, and conscious pacing. I’ve dialled back my running volume, stepping back even further with a full rest week so that the hip has space to heal and re-align.

Strength work and my own rehab work have taken centre stage, but still, my Oura ring has been a quiet mirror, showing me resilience and recovery scores that aren’t quite where I want them to be.

Last weekend at Paus in Cambridge, I finally allowed myself to stop and reflect.

Sauna heat, cold plunge, silence. A reset, a reminder that recovery isn’t a box to tick but an active practice, as essential as the miles themselves. It was the pause I didn’t know I needed to admit I’ve been pushing too hard.

Now, with just two weeks until race day, I’m letting go of rigid plans.

It’s going to be a case of running by feel, listening with patience rather than judgment. I’ve also given myself the gift of a week off work to lower stress, soften the nervous system, and create the right ground for healing.

It’s frustrating to have worked so hard only to feel held back by a ni**le but perhaps this is the practice.

Not the miles, not the medals, but learning how to move with the body you have today, not the one you wish you had. Every setback carries its own quiet lesson, and maybe this is the one I most need to hear.

The half marathon is still there, waiting. I’ll meet it however I can…..steady, present, and hopefully a little lighter in body and mind.

✨ This is 39 ✨

Birthdays always feel like a natural pause, a moment to look back at the road you’ve walked.

Turning 39 feels different. It feels bolder, freer, and more unapologetic than ever before.

This year has been my “f**k it” year. The year of doing things differently, of choosing bravery over comfort, of pushing beyond the limits I thought I had.

I’ve stepped into challenges that once felt intimidating and discovered a strength , physical, mental, and emotional that I didn’t fully know was there.

I’ve become the fittest and strongest version of myself, but more importantly, I’ve learned to trust myself more deeply.

I’ve leaned into discomfort (mainly learning to love running) , embraced the unknown, and remembered that growth doesn’t happen in the safety of what we already know.

So here’s to 39, the last year of my 30’s….to braver choices, bigger leaps, softer landings, and living with a heart wide open. May this next chapter be about daring, expanding, and continuing to surprise myself with what’s possible.
