This upbeat flow starts by waking up tight thighs, then keeps building with low lunges, three-legged dog, warrior variations, standing balances, and plenty of hip-opening work. Karen also weaves in a little heart-lifting energy along the way, with backbends, dancer pose, and a playful finale that includes crow or malasana, bridge or wheel, figure-four stretches, and a long, settling savasana.

Journal

Here you'll find writing on mindfulness, neuroscience, mental health, physical wellbeing, and yoga.

These topics often overlap: attention, behaviour and embodiment are all part of the same ecosystem of experience, and the aim here is to explore those connections in a thoughtful and practical way. Some posts draw from research, others from lived experience and teaching. The intention is to share ideas that are useful, considered, and occasionally a bit different from what is typically said.
