Chris and I filmed this video on a day I was feeling really energetically stagnant, I wasn’t sure I was up to it. I never cease to be surprised by the transformative effects of yoga. After this practice, my attitude and energy had lifted, and the rest of the day unfolded in a way it never would if I had continued to sit at my desk.

This practice slowly builds from the ground. Karen guides you through stabilizing and expansive movements to help awaken your energy and refresh your mind.

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.
