Chris starts the class with a calming invitation to notice where the breath is landing, then threads in a gentle reminder about compassion, non-harming, and choosing what feels safe in your body. From there, the practice stays steadily moving — with joint-freeing work on the floor, balance play in standing, a few mindful warrior and pyramid variations, and plenty of options to close your eyes, explore wobblier edges, or keep things simple. The class finishes with a good dose of supported floor work, twists, a brief breath-hold practice, and a long, settling Shavasana.

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.
