If you find yourself at a desk for good stretches of the day then this gentle release class is for you. While it may not seem like it in the moment, sitting can be very hard on the body. The negative effects on posture, circulatory and digestive processes can lead to some serious issues in the short and long term. Thankfully we have the power to support our body (and mind) through this. This class gently helps to release the areas of the body that can become stiff and uncomfortable as a result of long days at the office. Grab your props, blankets, pillows and bolsters, roll out your mat and nourish your body with this therapeutic yoga class.

Journal

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

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.
