Have you ever finished a workout or yoga class and immediately started listing everything that wasnt good enough?

I see this all the time, heck, I catch myself doing it too! 🫣

That's one reason I often ask people to take a few moments at the end of movement to thank themselves.

Not for performing perfectly. Not for pushing harder.

❤️ Simply for doing something supportive for themselves.

I can sound....wishy washy.

The science around it is actually interesting.

I've written more about this in my blog post, and why this seemingly small thing might change what we notice about our movement over time.

3 months ago, running 5K felt impossible.

This weekend I completed my first trail parkrun, and the first one running where I didn't ask my husband to run by my side.

Was it my fastest 5K? Nope...but it also wasn't my slowest.

Did I walk up some hills? Yep.

Did I fall flat on my face? Nope. 🎉

Did I conplete it and even get to enjoy the scenery a little? Absolutely.

This is why I love strength and movement.

Progress rarely looks like a straight line. It looks like adapting, learning, falling, trying again and appreciating what your body allows you to do 🙏🏾

One of my clients recently lifted heavier than he ever had before.

He was proud of it, then asked:

“Each rep felt slightly different… is that okay?”

It’s such a good question. 🤓

We’re often taught to judge movement against an ideal version of what a rep “should” look like. So the moment something changes, it can feel like we’ve done something wrong.

💪🏽 Technique still matters. Losing control of a load is different from a rep simply feeling or looking slightly different.

The useful bit is learning to notice what changed, why it might have changed, and whether you were still able to manage it.

I’ve explored the science behind movement variability and strength training in my latest blog:

Do your reps need to look identical?

A week of being a student again.

Moving, learning, trying things, resting, laughing, eating, and remembering how good it feels to just be.

I feel like I have come back having learned more about my body, achieved things I genuinely didn't think I could do (a big backbend and flying crow!), taken steps forward with my technique (handstands!!!), and delved deeper into yoga philosophy. 🧘🏾‍♀️

More than anything, it reminded me why I took up thr practice and why I continue to come back to it on and off the mat.

🙏🏾 I am very grateful for the support and guidance from & , and everyone on the retreat who made it the week it was and the opportunity to learn from others, explore different perspectives and just be a student for a while.

Thank you also to for hosting us, feeding us the most wonderful food and the bonus yoga classes! ❤️

Something I’ve been quietly planning for a while is finally ready to share.

From 11–13 June 2027, I’m hosting a weekend retreat at Powis House, near Stirling.

I want this weekend to feel spacious rather than packed.

There’ll be yoga, mobility and strength-based movement, with plenty of options to explore what works for your body.

There’ll also be nourishing food, time outside, walks, cold dips, hot tub, reading, chatting, resting, and absolutely no requirement to fill every moment.

The idea is simple: a few days to move, unwind and have some space away from the usual pace of life.

There are just 10 places, with shared and private room options from £425pp.

Bookings are now open.

Full details and room options are on the website: https://shrutiturner.co.uk/retreats/a-weekend-to-unwind-move-rest

If you’ve got any questions before booking, send me a message.

I still don't love running.

And I definitely don't consider myself 🏃🏽‍♀️ "a runner".

I'd consider myself an openly reluctant person who runs (see running top!)

But, I do love what running is giving me.

🍃 Time outside.

❤️ Time with my husband.

🫁 A way to improve my cardiorespiratory health after neglecting it for strength and mobility.

🤩 The sheer joy when I achieve something that felt impossible.

Movement doesn't have to become your favourite thing to be worthwhile.

Sometimes we choose movement because of what it gives us beyond the session itself.

That's why I believe fitness should support your life. Not become another thing we have to be perfect at.

I spent years being told to be careful with my range by well meaning people (and still do!)

Don’t lock your knees.
Keep the elbows soft.
Don’t go too far.

I understand where that advice comes from. Wanting people to move safely is a good thing.

The challenge is when protecting our bodies becomes fearing them. 🔥

My perspective has changed through my own experience, study of neuroscience, research and working with people with different bodies.

💪🏽 I use this knowledge and experience to help people understand their bodies, build strength and develop confidence in what they can do.

That doesn’t mean ignoring pain or forcing movements that don’t feel right.

It means moving away from blanket rules and towards a more individual approach.

I’ve explored this in more detail in my latest blog:
Hypermobility: is end range really dangerous?
