About fascia šŸ¤“

No one tells you
that aging is not the number
it’s the slow negotiation
between breath and gravity.

That beneath your skin
lives a continuous web
collagen, elastin, water
a sensing organ as much as a structure,
called fascia.

It does not simply hold you together.
It listens.
It adapts.
It transmits force, memory, tension
a living matrix shaped
by how (and if) you move.

We blame time
for the stiffness,
but stiffness is often dehydration,
repetition,
or the absence of variation.

Fascia thickens along familiar lines,
reinforces what you repeat,
abandons what you ignore.

So the body narrows
not from years,
but from patterns.

And still, it is changeable.

Load it slowly,
and it remodels.
Move with variability,
and it rehydrates.
Breathe deeply,
and pressure shifts through its layers.

This is the quiet truth
mobility is not lost,
it is reorganised.

And the web beneath you
is always listening
for a new way to move.

Such an important reminder.
Balance isn’t just strength, it’s also sensory.
Our toes provide huge amounts of information to the brain about where we are in space. When we improve toe mobility and awareness, we improve balance responses too. šŸ‘£

I needed to be outside this morning.

Found a dry patch after the school run for a few minutes of alfresco yoga.
It was brief but delicious.

Walked home under blackthorn blossom, one of the first whispers of spring.
The air smelt like honey, almond & Jasmine.

Now I feel good. 🌼

Chair Pose (Utkatasana) helps build strength for a movement many of us use throughout the day. By practicing the sit to stand pattern needed to rise from a chair, sofa, car or toilet, it supports stability, confidence and more comfortable movement in daily life.

As well as challenging balance and postural control, Chair Pose reinforces body awareness through heel loading, knee alignment and a lengthened spine. It gently engages the core to support the back and improve movement efficiency, while taking the hips, knees and ankles through flexion and extension to nourish the joints and build resilience.

You can practice Chair Pose freestanding (see image) or with a chair behind you for support (see below).

šŸŖ‘ Practicing Chair Pose as sit to stand:

✨Set up
Sit on the edge of a stable chair that is not on wheels, with your feet hip width apart.
Knees track in line with your toes and your spine is tall.

✨The movement
Bring your arms across your chest, or use the armrests if you need support.
Lean forward from your hips so your weight shifts over your feet, then press firmly through your heels to stand.

✨The return
Slowly bend your hips and knees and lower with control back to sitting. Your hands can always reach back for the chair if needed.

A few mindful repetitions each day will help you build and maintain strength and stability.

The longer days are slowly unfolding.

In the UK we’re gaining around three to four precious minutes of daylight each day now.

A quiet stretch of light in the mornings and evenings that whispers: spring is on it’s way.

So naturally I’m celebrating with an upside down tree!

Warrior II & Reverse Warrior — one variation.
Warrior II & Reverse Warrior — another variation.

Same Asana. Different expression.

Using a chair doesn’t make a pose easier, it makes it accessible.
And accessibility is strength.

One is not better than the other. They simply serve different bodies, on different days.

Both build strength. Both build focus. Both are yoga.

Your practice doesn’t have to look a certain way to be valid. It just has to meet you where you are.

There is no hierarchy in movement, only what supports you best.

Had the best time with an amazing group of ladies ✨

Strong energy. Open hearts. Powerful movement.

I even had a little time to play around with some asana of my own šŸ¤

See you in two weeks!
