🐝💥 NEW POST JUST LANDED 💥🐝
CLICK, DON’T WAFT!!!

✅ Cake drama

✅ “Helpful” advice that definitely doesn’t help

My business name isn't just a name, it's my philosophy for life.

It came from me making better lifestyle choices 🙏

What if your day had a natural rhythm —
not one you force yourself into,
but one that actually works with your energy?

That’s what Flow • Calm • Still is all about.

It’s how I now shape my days — from movement to admin to rest —
without trying to be superhuman (or survive on caffeine and passive-aggressive WhatsApp messages).

Here’s how it flows:

🟠 FLOW = before the mid-afternoon slump
This is where the magic happens:
💪 Best for workouts, focused tasks, creativity, decision-making, strong coffee and strong starts.
Get the important stuff done while your brain and body are on side.

🟢 CALM = that weird post-lunch window
You’re not done, but your brain says otherwise.
🫖 Best for gentle movement, stretching, errands, admin, casual tasks, emails and general life faffing.
Keep it steady, not speedy.

🔵 STILL = final hour of the day + sleep
This is your soft landing.
🛌 Best for: light planning, slow movement, comfy clothes, cosy rituals, and surrendering to sleep (without feeling guilty about it).
Let your nervous system know the day is done — and it’s safe to fully switch off.

It’s not a strict routine. Life isn't the same every day.
It’s a rhythm you can return to, even when life’s a bit… much.

Use Flow • Calm • Still to shape your day with intention:
➡️ Flow before the slump
➡️ Calm through the dip
➡️ Still your way into deep rest

Because you deserve more than just surviving the day.

✨ When 9 hours a night isn’t do-able…

This is for those that struggle 🙏

You’re not failing. You’re just living.

Give yourself a break

Between work, worry, and wildly unhelpful brains that like to go full TED Talk at 2 AM, sleep isn’t always the perfect 9-hour block we’re told we “should” get.

Perfect-smerfect! Can you see me flicking the bird to the know-it-alls!

Some of us wake up at 5 AM for no reason.
Some of us can’t fall asleep until our brain’s replayed a 2014 conversation in full detail.
Some of us (hi 🙋‍♀️) need a nap and a scroll before bed to stay sane.

Let’s be real:
🛏️ Rest doesn’t always mean sleep
🧘‍♀️ Naps are allowed
📱 TV and phone time aren’t moral failures
💤 Lying down just to rest still counts
💡 And sleep is just one part of a calm, well-regulated nervous system

Your version of wellness might not look like a silent retreat — and it doesn’t have to.
It just has to feel good in your body and mind.

I'm not saying you don't need to make changes

but ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

YOU NEED TO PLAY ABOUT WITH YOUR ROUTINE AND FIND WHAT WORKS - foooooor you!

✨ Move better. Feel balanced. Live calmer.

What if your older self showed up and handed you the final two pebbles of your life?
Would you keep waiting to feel alive… or start now?

This week's story is a quiet gut punch — gentle, reflective, and a little bit funny.
It’s for anyone who’s ever sat outside the gym, or the office, or their own life, wondering… Is this it?

If you’re feeling stuck, a bit flat, or just need a reminder of what still matters — this one’s for you.

Hi, I’m Lynz – and this is me, somewhere between a stretch, a deep breath, and a bite of Fruit & Nut.
Coffee nearby. Dogs snoring. Soul mostly intact.

I run Flow • Calm • Still, a wellness studio in Quorn where we do yoga that actually helps — functional movement that supports your body in real life (and preps you for your 80s too, just quietly).

Each class has its own purpose:

🔶 Flow – Cardiovascular, strength and mobility training disguised as yoga. Slow, steady, and rooted in real-life function.

🔵 Calm – grounding sessions that calm your nervous system and clear your head. Ideal for beginners or anyone running on low batteries.

⚪ Still – slow, mindful, yin-style rest. We stay low to the ground and give your system time to soften.

It’s not about becoming 'better' — it’s about feeling good in your own skin and headspace, on and off the mat.

👉 Send me a message or check out my info at the top of the page

☕ Substack is where I share the rest of the story
It’s my online home for real-life writing and calming audio — the kind of stuff that soothes your nervous system and makes you feel less alone.

🍽 Coffee & Waffle – everyday chaos, burnt toast, and slightly emotional wins
🧘🏼‍♀️ Conversations with My Older Self – wise, grounded notes for messy moments
🎧 Guided voice tracks – short resets and sleep audio for tired minds

👉 Join me here: https://lynzbrierley.substack.com/

Outside the studio and the mic, I ride my motorbike far too enthusiastically, sing loudly in the kitchen while my partner plays guitar (beautifully and patiently), and try to stop the dogs eating things they shouldn’t.

Everything I create — movement, voice, or story — is about helping you feel a little more at home in yourself and more importantly like you're not the only one fumbling through this funny thing called life. One stretch, story, or exhale at a time.

The Art of the Forward Fold 🧠🫁🧘‍♀️

There’s something deeply personal about a forward fold.

It’s not about the shape. It’s not about how far you go.
It’s about what happens inside when you give your body permission to soften.

When we fold forward—especially with support like a bolster under the knees—we signal safety to the nervous system.
Your brain registers: “I’m not under threat. I can let go.”
This is where the magic begins.

And the breath?
Try this:
🫁 Inhale slowly through the nose (about 4 seconds), letting the back body subtly expand.
😮‍💨 Exhale even slower (about 6–8 seconds), letting your belly soften and your weight sink.

Longer exhales = stronger parasympathetic activation = a calmer, more resilient you.

It doesn’t have to look fancy.
It doesn’t have to feel easy.
But it will always be worth it.

“By 70, I’ll be fused to my office chair.”
“And I’ll be sprinting with a fractured pelvis.”

☕️ Just your average conversation at the lakeside café.
This week’s Coffee & Waffle is all about the guilt we carry — whether we’re doing too much, not enough, or just stuck in some weird in-between where everything hurts and nothing feels like ‘rest’.

Sam does absolutely nothing and still feels broken.
Lucy does absolutely everything and still feels guilty.
Together, they make a pact:
➡️ 10 minutes of something for Sam
➡️ 5 minutes of nothing for Lucy

If your body’s aching from sitting still or your brain’s exhausted from being constantly on the go, maybe it’s time to try something different.
Not extreme.
Not punishing.
Just better for you.

Check out the story over on Substack and share it with a pal who need either a nudge or pinning down!

Yoga that trains your body – not just stretches it.

As a Yoga Movement Coach, I help people build strength, flexibility, mobility, and breath control — through calm, focused movement that’s tailored to real life.

I adore teaching yoga BUT I believe yoga isn’t just what happens in a class.
It can be used to train your body with purpose — like a structured programme — helping you move better, feel stronger, and live calmer.

🌿 In 1:1 sessions, we focus on:

Functional strength and stability

Flexibility that supports movement, not just depth

Joint mobility and control

Breath work that supports stress reduction

Body awareness and confidence in how you move

I break the practice into clear, accessible drills so you can truly connect with your body — and make progress at your own pace.

You don’t have to force your body into shapes, push through pain, or chase results that don’t feel aligned.
You can train with calm, build strength through clarity, and feel the difference far beyond the mat.

👉 Swipe

Inside is a beginner-friendly full-body session that blends yoga-based drills with strength and mobility work. It’s a real example of how I support clients in 1:1 sessions — with structure, support, and soul.

If you’re looking for a more holistic way to train your body — this might be for you.

📍Based at Flow • Calm • Still Wellness Studio, Quorn or Zoom

Not all calm looks the same.

I’ve always been physically active — long shifts, high energy, full tilt. Stillness never really came naturally to me.

If I stop moving for too long, my nervous system gets… twitchy. I either fall asleep or my mind starts thinking about snacks, or suddenly decides now’s the time to reorganise the cupboards, clean the skirting boards, and start a side hustle — all before 10am.

So here’s what I’ve learned:
🌀 I find calm through Flow — movement helps me regulate. It clears the mental chatter.
🌙 I need Calm yoga when I’m running on fumes. It helps me not be so hard on myself.
🛋️ Still (yin) is what saves me when I’ve already overdone it. It’s not always easy for me to be still, but it’s where I catch my breath… before I crash.

That’s just my nervous system.
Yours might be different.
Maybe stillness is your safe place.
Maybe you need to move first before you can relax.
Maybe you haven’t worked it out yet — and that’s okay.

Maybe it is interchangeable depending on the direction of the wind!

There’s no perfect way to feel better.
Only your way.

This is why I teach Flow, Calm, and Still — not to give you a formula, but to give you options. Because how we find peace changes. Hour to hour. Season to season. Life phase to life phase.

So tell me…
What does your calm look like?

Is it a long walk? A good Savasana? Lying on the floor in a fluffy blanket with zero responsibilities and snacks within arm’s reach?

Let’s normalise all the ways we rest and reset.
