This beginner-friendly class blends calm breathwork with steady strength work, starting with reclined mobility, bridge variations, and side-lying shoulder and leg patterns using light weights and a block. From there, Karen builds into chair-based squats, balancing thigh stretches, twisting lunges, and a playful side-angle sequence before winding down with figure-four stretches, twists, and a restful finish.

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.
