Ever thought you’re not flexible enough, or maybe TOO flexi (shout out to my fellow hypermobile folks) for Yoga?

This month I invite the fantastic Grace Bowering onto the pod to chat about what Yoga actually IS and what forms of Yoga we actually CAN do - no headstands or splits even mentioned!

I coach plenty of humans with hyper mobility, and once my clients have learned their end ranges, increased the proprioception and confidence required, I love to bring Yoga back in if it was previously part of their practice. But if you’ve been told not to go to Yoga, how do you reintroduce it?

And whether you’re hyper mobile or not, on this episode we talk about the origins and benefits of Yoga and how you can introduce a Yoga practice into your life without stretching yourself too far. (Literally)

My wonderful guest @gracebowering is a yoga practitioner and facilitator who is passionate about yoga’s many doorways.

She teaches an embodied, explorative approach to movement with an emphasis on how we use props for support, challenge and rest. She weaves in philosophical teachings to encourage the contemplative side of yoga, keeping it from being a body based practice alone.She believes yoga to be a practice that cultivates body & breath awareness, kindness, community, introspection and connection.

I hope you enjoy listening, I’ll be dropping episodes monthly so click FOLLOW on Spotify to get notified when a new episode goes live!

The podcast is a space to discuss how we can build our strength with safety and softness, so that we can nurture it forever - as you know I’m all about long term fitness and wellbeing!

So take a listen!

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: “When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?”

Soaking up an incredibly special weekend retreat.

It was a space filled with so much love, sisterhood, deeep rest, giggles, and big belly laughs - it was everything we dreamed of and more.

It felt like a portal. By the Saturday afternoon, everyone was glowing, by the Sunday morning we cried witnessing how freely everyone was moving - it felt like such a privilege to witness the shifts.

Thank you to all of the incredible women (and baby) who joined us and made this space so special ~ we have been reminded of the absolute magic that happens when women gather.

Grateful to have held this retreat with my dear friend and partner in crime @gracebowering ~ it is a joy to do this with you ~ thank you for holding me and cheering me on.

Thank you to @the.croft.farm.escape for welcoming us with open arms and hosting us and thank you to Abs @eat_breathe_be for nourishing us with your delicious food.

Thank you to @aliceashley for capturing our retreat with such care, creativity & play.

What a team.

Thank you to @mother_cuppatea for supplying us with the most delicious teas from their Wellness Collection.

And to @wilder.botanics for your gorgeous Heartfelt & Sunrise Loose Leaf Teas & Radiance Drops Tincture.

And to @fushiwellbeing for providing our guests with a gorgeous Muscle & Joints Oil for an extra bit of pampering.

Feeling blessed 🌹

The experience is definitely still landing for us; we’ve both been pouring so much love into the preparation of the space all year long and will have much more to share as the weeks go by.

Wow, I just returned from the most incredible weekend. TO REMEMBER...a gorgeous yoga retreat hosted by @gracebowering & @loving_evolution.

I've wanted to do a retreat for years but needed to find the right space and people to hold that space.
This last year has been tough for me, balancing grief, life and work has left me struggling at times. We're constantly stimulated in life aren't we? "Searching"through socials, always on. Wanting to pause but never truly allowing ourselves to do so.

This weekend i did exactly that. Took socials off my phone. Put my phone away. Rested, breathed- really breathed. Connected with a magnificent group of women which was an incredible privelidge. We ate the most delicious food, shared our stories, emotions and vulnerabilities. We laughed alot. I Moved gently, tuned into myself like I never have before. Came back to myself with peace and strength, realised I really like her, I love her infact.

I felt energy shift, realised it and cried in a beautiful way. I feel different. Calm, whole 💗

I set intentions to be more present. Have space without my phone, less noise. Not feeling like I need to search or compare. I have everything I need already and my body & mind deserve to feel that.

If you resonate with this, if your body & mind need that space & trust me it does- give this to yourself. This weekend was the greatest gift I have ever given to myself and I'm ready to keep nurturing. I deserve it, so do you xx

I won't be stepping away from socials but I will be doing it more intentionally, less scrolling and definately more time away from the noise 🌱

Thank you with all my heart to everyone that was there with me 🙏🏻

How do you find your peace? I'd love to know

Happy Tuesday,

Love from a much more peaceful me 🫶🏻xx
