The little things make ALL the difference. Make the time you spend moving really count! Add the right level pf challenge.

1. Get a stretch BETWEEN the legs- healthy adductors is key for PF health

2. Try keep pelvis steady & add internal rotation- use your hand to lift the foot if it feels impossible or just imagine it lifting.

3. Press one thigh down as you lift the second leg up.

Enjoy!

One switch i find really helpful to give a more calm, cohesive feeling to class and cues :)

Will share more on cues, with weaving philosophy in, options for hypermobility, less mobile students & more. Let me know if any poses or practices you struggling to teach. 💜

Pain is SO complex and fascinating here are some fun pain facts for you! This movement can help ease back, shoulder and hip pain- in cases where it is suitable to explore movement.

- there is no wrong movement
- BUT if we always move the same ways the nervous system starts to tune out and it wants more and better info about where the body is
- it also can trigger the pain response since the map of where the body is becomes smudgy
- new movement provides novel input so instead of smudgy maps, we get more input and this can reduce pain!

So instead of right or wrong movement we can explore NEW INTERESTING INFORMATIVE movement

We take this approach throughout the 300hr training starting in October.

THE AUGUST OFFER includes a prerecorded movement & pain science training you can start RIGHT AWAY (with lifetime access)

And a complete yoga marketing training

Because i want to give you expertise and the way to share it with students who need it! DM me if you want the details or download the prospectus from bio.

I was literally the worlds most resistant marketing person! It took me DECADES before i realised how important it is to CLEARLY describe who we can help.

I thought it was cringey and salesy - and yes this video gives me the ick a little.

BUT if we have skills that can help - lets share them. And the best way is to talk about them!

I see such fantastic teachers giving up because they can't earn enough. BUT it is just strategy.

Give me 45 min and i'll explain! 18 Aug 4pm. PDF ready for you too.

Sending love.

Comment "yes" for the free masterclass and PDF guide to earning well. I know just how hard it is to earn well. We start not worrying about earning- just pleased to share our love. But before long we are exhausted and skint!

But there have never been more ways to build a real income from teaching yoga, and that abundance is exactly what leaves so many teachers stuck.

Too many options, no clear plan, and a lot of energy poured into things that were never going to pay.

Before you post another reel or drop your prices again, try building your business the other way round.

Start from what you actually need to earn, then work backwards to the routes that will realistically get you there.

In the free masterclass I'm walking through three genuine paths to a teaching income:

The village teacher, going broad and developing the skills to serve a whole community, then stacking classes, workshops and retreats (and pricing them properly rather than racing to the bottom).

The urban specialist, solving one clear problem for one specific group.

The online small-group membership route, a higher-value offer you can repeat rather than rebuild from scratch every month.

None of them run on Instagram alone, and all of them ask you to invest in your own skills, whether that's your teaching or your marketing.

Comment “up” for the FREE BLOG: 5 Things You Need to Know About Fascia and the link to the 300hr training starting with the Fascia in Focus Intensive.

Heres the science of this pose- because creative movement feels good because it does so much good :)

Fascia is full of sensory nerve endings. That makes it one of your body's richest sources of information about load, angle and stretch.
All of that travels through the peripheral nervous system, feeding a constant, mostly unconscious map of where you are and what feels safe to do.

When you move in the same lines every day, that signal becomes predictable. And a predictable signal is one the nervous system learns to stop noticing. Novelty makes it pay attention! So this new position, new way of loading and new sensation is brilliant!

There is growing thinking in pain science that this kind of fresh, non-threatening input is part of how we ease persistent discomfort and build comfortable, resilient movement over time.

When a movement feels stuck or sore, it is often the nervous system playing it safe with a body it has stopped getting good information from. Gentle, novel movement gives it something new and unthreatening to map, and that can be the start of things feeling easier.

This is not about releasing anything stuck. It is a way of making it possible to move better and breaking old habits gives better information to the nervous system that thrives on new neurla input.
