Can you find more flow?
About four weeks ago we “moved house” without moving house.
Weird, I know, but it’s basically what we did.
The flow this has created is immense.
Even Doggo and BiscuitCat love it.
If you look at how your space flows is there something you could change? It doesn’t need to be as mammoth as mine.
Perhaps you could shuffle one room around.

Progress Isn’t Linear
I've been making a slow journey back to movement after what ended up being a year off for different reasons.
It's been a great reminder for me as a pregnancy and postnatal specialist, of the journey that so many of you go through.
I had a slow wind-down of activity from April to December. I wasn't injured but my energy was low and my mood was unpredictable; movement wasn't my priority.
I liken this to the pregnancy journey.
Pregnancy & Baby Loss
One in four will experience pregnancy/ baby loss.
Holding space for these people is an honour and a privilege.
I offer my regular students who go through the horrible experience of pregnancy/ baby loss a complimentary private session at any time that they are ready.
I have always done this.

Community Building
Community is evident in the postnatal community.
They share the challenges of the mental load of being a mum, parenting differences with partners, work juggles, and still being an independent person outside of "Mum".
They listen to each other, acknowledge each other, and there is no judgement.
Wear it anyway
If we want to see change, we have to create it.
Here I am, living in a body that my "growing up in the 90's" brain still reminds me isn't acceptable, but I'm also a "middle-aged" woman living in 2024 that knows different.
Teaching pregnancy yoga through infertility
Trigger Warning: Pregnancy Loss
For me, teaching is about you, not me.
What I am going through is parked when I walk into the room and start laying out mats.
There have been moments after a pregnancy loss or an unsuccessful embryo transfer where I have called my husband as I’ve walked to class because I’ve been teary.
When you can’t walk your “therapy dog” and life is sh*t
I was now in emotional pain and physical pain for different reasons.
I’m not sure that is allowed, it must be against some type of human decency act of some sort.
My recipe for getting through the hard days when the usual stuff doesn’t work.
Battling Body Confidence
Trigger Warning: Pregnancy Loss | Trying To Conceive | Eating Disorder
After working through adult ED I managed to change my thinking, and most of my patterns and have compassion for myself.
I had been comfortable with the changes in my body through the years.
But the last year has been different.
Since April’23 I have gained weight and I am struggling with this.
The weight gain has been hormonal and emotional.
Need help with low back pain?
Low back pain is one of the most common complaints in pregnancy and postnatal bodies.
Let’s fix it together!
Do you have sore shoulders?
Are you like many of the yoginis that have been struggling with tight shoulders, sore necks, and aching backs lately?
I have just the thing for you.
Permission to play
Children learn so much through play and I think we need more play in our lives as adults.
My invitation to you today is to stop “growing up” and start playing and see what you discover.
You have a 15-minute yoga flow to move through focused on play as a doorway to discovery.
Rest is best but what is rest?
For many people doing nothing creates anxiety - physical and/ or emotional. If this is a familiar feeling for you, try not to increase your anxiety by “not resting the right way”.
What do one thousand followers really mean?
There are now one thousand of you awesome folks following Forever Body Yoga on Instagram.
But what does that actually mean?
How does an online yoga class work?

Here’s what you can expect to help you feel more comfortable and take away some of the unknown.
The Pros and Cons of Flexibility
There are so many images out there that have created the expectation that yoga is for the skinny, twisty, bendy people but that isn’t that case.
People who aren’t flexible often say that they can’t do yoga because they can’t touch their toes and I say nah-ah. If you’re that person, you have a strong & stable body and that is brilliant.
