This class moves from floor-based core and leg exercises into standing balance drills that deliberately slow things down so we can notice how support shifts. Using blocks and resistance bands, we work the hips, back body, inner thighs, and core through controlled lifts, lunges, narrow walking, and a few balance challenges that invite careful attention rather than speed.

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.
