Donna Noble Yoga: The Noble Art of Yoga

I didn’t write this to be controversial.

I wrote it because after years of teaching, listening, holding space, and watching what’s happening in wellness…

I can’t ignore what I’m seeing.
People have more access to wellness than ever before.

And yet so many feel more disconnected from themselves than ever.

That’s why I keep coming back to Body Intelligence.

Not as a trend.
Not as a tactic.
As a remembering.

What are you noticing?

Looking back at writing Teaching Body Positive Yoga, I can see I was never just writing about yoga.

I was writing about what it feels like to walk into a space and not know if you belong.

I was writing for the people who have spent years thinking their body was the problem.

I was writing about representation, access, language, and helping people stop making themselves smaller just to fit in.

And if I’m honest, looking back now, I can see something else was there too.

That it’s one thing to help people feel more at home in their bodies.

It’s another thing to trust them.
To really listen.
To notice what the body has been trying to say all along.

I didn’t have the words for it then.
Now I do.

Body intelligence.

The Anti Yogi
Some performances entertain.
Some stay with you.

This Saturday afternoon I watched The Anti “Yogi” at Soho Theatre… and if I’m honest, I’m still thinking about it.

The storytelling.
The dancing.
The live percussion.

The boldness of the term Wogi.

And knowing Mayuri Bhandari wasn’t feeling well made her performance even more incredible. You genuinely would never have known.

As someone who has spent years navigating the world of yoga and wellbeing, this landed deeply.

I’ve shared my full reflections on yoga, identity, culture, and what this performance stirred in me over on Substack

Have you ever really watched a baby?

A baby doesn’t need an app to tell it when it’s tired.
It doesn’t need a watch to tell it when it needs rest.
It doesn’t question whether it’s too much.
Too loud.
Too emotional.
Too needy.

When it’s hungry, it lets you know.
When it’s tired, it sleeps.
When it needs comfort, it reaches out.

No shame.
No pretending.
No performance.

Just the body... doing what the body has always known how to do.

Then somewhere along the way, many of us were taught something different.

Push through.
Keep going.
Don’t cry.
Don’t rest yet.
Be productive or working twice as hard.
Be strong.
Don’t be too much.

And without even realising it, many of us stopped trusting the intelligence we were born with.

The body.

That’s what Body Intelligence means to me.

Not fixing ourselves.
Not becoming someone new.

Remembering what the body knew... before the world taught us not to listen.

Because I truly believe... we were born in wellbeing.

Before the watch.
Before the app.
Before we started looking outside of ourselves for every answer...

the body knew first.

As babies, we moved when we needed to move.
Rested when we were tired.
Reached for comfort when something didn’t feel right.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned something else.

Push through.
Ignore it.
Keep going.
Don’t stop.

I’m not against technology. (I use to work in IT)
I’m not against support.

But I am questioning how many of us have started Outsourced Wellbeing...

Looking to watches, apps, experts, and endless advice...

while slowly losing touch with the wisdom we were born with.

Maybe the future of wellbeing isn’t about doing more.

Maybe it’s about remembering.

This is what I’m exploring through Body Intelligence!
