Do you want to celebrate a little differently?

Yesterday I had the huge honour of being asked to teach a group birthday class by one of my gorgeous friends Lucy Clare Robarts-Arnold

I asked her for a brief (fun, relaxing and NO backbends!😂) and went from there. I did sneak in some spinal mobility, along with some partner work, intention setting, group challenges, restorative postures and some fun ways of accessing more challenging asana that worked for all of us.

Numbers meant we could use my studio, which can accommodate 8 of you plus me, but I'm always happy to come to a venue of your choice or even brave the elements outside.

If you think a yoga class would work for your next celebration, please do get in touch. I love to be playful and make yoga about connection, joy and freedom.

"Wow, how can SHE lift that heavy weight?"

That was my biggest compliment this week whilst in the gym and a little clip and climber leant over the bannister to watch me do my squats.💪🦵

The evidence is irrefutable....strength training is invaluable for ageing bodies. Strength training 2 or more times a week has shown (in numerous studies) to significantly improve strength, bone mineral density, and metabolic and hormonal changes. There's a growing amount of data out there now about this and women in menopause as well as peri and post, but these findings are not gender biased, men benefit too, pre menopausal people benefit and older people benefit. 🦴🫀

In my reading I did find some interesting results demonstrating a correlation between thermoregulation and parasympathetic activation and strength training. It looks like a little more research is required here, but surely it's worth a punt if we can reduce hot flushes and erratic moods? 🥵

The good news is that these studies are telling us that strength training doesn't necessarily have to look like me in this picture lifting these massive weights 😂(if only), it can be body weight isometric stuff or plymotric work or pushing your wheelbarrow around or taking the stairs 2 at a time etc etc.

I'll do a little plug here - the physical part of yoga is a great way of adding strength and stability into your life. Come and try a class! Or I can help yoj in a soft tissue session find the type of strength training that is right for YOU.

So, who is with me and wants to stay physically fit and active into old age? Can you commit to 2 sessions a week and how might it look for you? I'd love to know thoughts, idea, plans.....

Well done boy! GCSE and school are over. On to the next part of your amazing life. Enjoy it. It was only yesterday you were in an incubator in NICU Sam Reynolds

Hope this is suitably embarrassing! But I am that mum, not gonna change. X

Happy Birthday to the best yogi in the studio!
Pebbles is 13 today. Make sure you give him an extra ear scratch when you come to class next week!

Thank you to Helen | wedding & family photographer for the gorgeous pics of him in all his glory!🤣

Just noticed this cool feature on my training shoes reminding me to "engage the big toe"!

But I only need my big toe to stop me falling over? Absolutely not!

Big toe strength and mobility is crucial for firing up a whole chain of stability from the floor up into your glutes and core, which is useful for stabilising your pelvis (helping minimise back pain), improving an arch in your foot (helping to prevent plantar fasciatis) and helping you deadlift and squat heavy stuff safely. And we all know why we have to lift heavy stuff I hope.

So, next time your in the gym, engage your big toe by pressing it into the ground (harder, flatter soled shoes will really help). And then when your not at gbe gym experiment with some toe yoga, by lifting your toes individually and trying to spread yhem out! Maybe I'll do a post on that......I just don't want to encourage the random foot fe**sh stalker, because that's just annoying!

If you're a regular client of mine, you'll know how much I like to emphasise the importance of all of this so apologies for boring you even more. I was just really excited to notice this on my Under Armour shoe!

Gorgeous weekend with some of the best family a girl could ask for celebrating the clever Pops and 🌴benji🌴 finishing uni and getting great jobs, and a plod with the lovely Bo in the woods without getting lost.

Father's Day is on the horizon and if the dad in your life has enough socks and is likely to go out and buy his own craft beer anyway, why not treat him to something a little bit different. Any of my treatments can be added to a gift voucher so click on link in bio to see what he might like, and then message me to organise.

Gift vouchers for wellbeing are also a great idea for teacher's gifts. So, if your child is approaching end of exams (it's an emotional time in my house) or they've had a teacher that has gone above and beyond, what a way to say thank you.

New booking system is now live and working well! Thank you so much to those of you who lived through my transition!

Please click the link in my bio to see what is available. If there is no time available to suit you, please do contact me to discuss.

Also contact me for private yoga or massage for your event or team. Hen parties, workplaces, charity events, birthdays.....

I'm looking forward to welcoming you to M.Y. Wellbeing.

My wellbeing should not be a luxury, but a necessity.

New treatment offering available and it's a good one!
Who knew face massage could have such a profound effect on the nervous system? If you book a face massage, you will have an hour of complete rest and relaxation for your whole body and nervous system. This is my number one focus for every one of you.

There may be an added bonus too.....the ayurvedic techniques used work along the premise of lymphatic drainage massage and soft tissue sculpting. I was sceptical, but experienced first hand how these techniques can change the appearance of lines, dark circles and puffy bits.

If you'd like to try one of these, contact me or click the Book Now button in the bio. You can even add one on to a soft tissue appointment and have 90 minutes of time ....Just.....for......you!

I don't make a habit of taking photos of my students but I don't think any of them realised just how awesome they are. Had to give a huge shout out to my classes this week for being so strong! Shalabasana or locust posture can be really tricky, sometimes uncomfortable, and requires a lot of back mobility and strength. Fortunately we used our practice wisely and warmed everything up properly first with cleansing breathwork, spinal mobility asanas, and hip extension work.

Sorry to and Alex for chopping your feet off. They were just too high! And I apologise on behalf of Pebbles as well, who was unimpressed by your show of strength. He is just there for the savasana.
