We explore how the diaphragm, pelvic floor, and abdominal wall work together when breathing, so our effort feels coordinated and efficient. From there, we move through core-focused floor work, twisting lunges, standing balance shapes, and supported chair variations, with plenty of options to use blocks or adjust the range of motion as needed.

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.
