What’s your plan through menopause ?

Do you ever have a feeling that just won’t go away?

A worry that leaves your belly feeling empty. Or a stress that leaves your chest feeling full or tight.

You take a big deep breath, like, really deep, and your breath fills the hole for a minute and then you exhale and feel a little better. Your feeling subsides or it lingers. In your thoughts. Carried on your shoulders. Keeps you up at night.

Take 3 big deep breaths they say, when you’re angry or hurt. It helps right.

That is only the beginning of your breath moving you through to a free feeling lightness.

This Wednesday we have our resident monthly REBECCA GRAINGER | Inner Mastery Mentor Breath work facilitator coming for a 90 min transformational breath work session.
If you are reading this now, at this very moment. This is exactly for you. It’s not a coincidence.
REBECCA GRAINGER | Inner Mastery Mentor tix on her website or pay on arrival. Just turn up.

WTF… No one really warns you. Then it’s already happening!

The changes just arrive. Surprise.

Here is what can actually help.
Strength. Endurance. Impact style training.
Load & resistance. Low impact hits to the bones with steps, jumps, pressure on the bones through proper push and resistance consistently… can help support bone density through your 40’s and 50’s.

This is what that actually looks like in class & is one of the best things you can do for your self if you’re Peri or Menopausal.

Feel like your s**t isn’t in a pile… go see your GP and combine that in too. We’ve got you.

Beginners always welcome here.

If stretching worked… why are you still tight?

Because five rushed minutes after a workout or the weekend game isn’t the same as giving your body the time it actually needs.

Your muscles spend all week working hard. Your body might be holding stress. It deserves at least one session dedicated to lengthening, releasing tension and restoring the way your body moves.

That’s exactly what Stretch Restore is for. 45mins that your body will thank you for.

45mins to slow down, breathe, improve your mobility and walk out feeling lighter, looser and standing a little taller.

You don’t need to be flexible. You don’t need experience. You just need a body that deserves to feel good during the day. which means a stretch class is for you.

✨ Come and experience Stretch Restore Tuesday 6:30pm in Dee Why. With our 14-day unlimited trial. Via our website. Link in bio.

P.S. Next week we’ll explain why the muscles that feel the tightest are often working the hardest to protect the rest of your body. But they’re not the muscles you use the most. Weird. Why? Let’s find out

“ I don’t dance. But I did last Friday” We dance because it’s fun, I mean it’s good for your body and mind but it’s good for the soul.
We don’t dance because we used to and we trying to bring back YTT (if you know, you know).. we turn the lights down (ques the disco lights) and dance like no one is watching… because no one is. We learn the moves. We move our bodies.
And it’s FUN!

The last Friday of every month. With a different theme.

This month. Dirty Dancing (probs without the lift. Everyone is welcome.

Being boring is okay! Who thought they’d never agree to that in a million years 🙋‍♀️
What if our bodies need different things when we get older. Spontaneous walks and kitchen dancing still count! We are not talking about boring workouts. Working out can be hard enough sometimes right!!
But less I’ll move when I’ve got time, it’s warmer, not raining or when I feel fitter. Being boring with consistency, even when I don’t feel like it is what you’re after.

Why? We need a hot planned mix..

Low-impact endurance for your heart and stamina.
Bodyweight and resistance training for strength and bone support.
Controlled weights for muscle, joints and everyday independence.
Lengthen and strengthen movement for mobility, core control and posture.
Recovery, breath and community to help you keep showing up.

Because variety keeps your mind engaged.
But consistency is what helps your body adapt and achieve…

Stronger bones.
Better posture.
More energy.
Improved balance.
A steadier core.
More confidence in moving without injury.
And a supportive community that notices when you walk through the door.
We need humans !

You need to train for how you want to feel at seventy. No matter how old you are now. Ouch.

Low impact is not low ambition either FYI 🙄

When you meet your people you know. These are our people

Have you ever worn yourself like a pair of earings from your shoulders?

Quick check: are your shoulders up near your ears right now? Most of us have been holding tension since Sunday night… That feeling of the week about to start, what did Friday you leave for Monday you to deal with eh. And are you calling it ‘just how I am’ now too.

It isn’t just a nervous system that hasn’t had a moment to put anything down in months. You don’t need to push harder, maybe you need somewhere to soften. Stretch. Restore. Align.

Undo your day.

Release your ears from up near your shoulders, stand taller, feel looser, and a little more like yourself.

Right now: drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw, breathe out slowly. Take a big shoulder roll. Up back and down. Now the other way.

Find a place that gives you softness as well as strength and call it your happy place
