Balance is built long before you find the pose✨

Your balance doesn’t begin with the pose, it begins with the strength beneath it….

Every steady shape comes back to a strong core, control and awareness of how your body moves.

When your foundation is solid, you create more freedom to move, explore and try new things.

Build your foundation. Explore what’s possible🙃

🐚 What does catching a seashell have to do with longevity? More than you might think… 👀

Balance isn’t just about standing on one leg. It’s how quickly we react, adjust and regain stability when the unexpected happens.

As we age, these skills become increasingly important for navigating uneven ground, recovering from a stumble and maintaining our independence.

So challenge your balance, test your reactions and have a little fun with it!

This is one of the reasons I created my Core & Balance workshops @yummyyogaorewa to build strength, stability and balance for the years ahead.

My next workshop is fully booked (thank you so much! 🥹) but I’ll be running another in the new year.

I’m also open to running private Core & Balance workshops for groups, so if you have a group of friends or a community who’d love to move, learn and build strength together, feel free to get in touch✨

“He lifts weights. I lift… myself🤪

My Bro’s out here lifting weights trying to show me up… 😂💪🏼

Had to remind him that strength comes in different forms. 🤸🏼‍♀️

Your move, bro. 😂

Who’s winning this one? 👀👇🏼

Sometimes, in looking after everything and everyone else, we forget about ourselves. ✨

Life has been hectic lately. School holidays have brought highs, lows and a few unexpected blows.

It’s been a reminder to pause and ask myself…

What do I need to take care of me, too?

For me, it’s been an 8km run in the mountains, bare feet on the ground, finding my balance, building strength and creating a little space to breathe.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that help us feel grounded again. 🌿

The best kind of medicine…
movement + nature

Move your body.
Get outside, feet on the earth
Breathe it in.
Let the world get a little quieter…

Let nature do its thing ✨

DO IT ANYWAY…

You don’t have to feel motivated.
You don’t have to have a good day.
You don’t even have to feel like yourself.

Some days we move to feel stronger.
Some days we move to clear our head.
Some days we just need somewhere to put all the feelings.

You don’t have to wait until you feel better to begin.

Roll out your mat.
Take a breath.
Move your body.

Do it anyway ❤️ Create the energy to shift the mood ✨

If your spine feels like it’s been stuck in one position all day, try this 5-minute reset. 🤍

Your spine doesn’t just move forwards and backwards it’s designed to flex, extend, rotate and side bend.

So give it a little movement in all directions:

✨ Seated Cat–Cow
✨ Thoracic open & close
✨ Seated twist + side bend
✨ Tabletop Cat–Cow
✨ Barrel rolls

5 minutes. All directions. A little love for your spine.

Have you ever thought about breaking a pose down instead of just trying to get there?

What actually needs to be engaged here?
Where am I feeling strong, and where am I feeling heavy?

How can I work on that part and build it back stronger?

Let’s stop chasing the shape and Start understanding the movement needed to create it ☺️

A little pre-class play 🤸🏼‍♀️
