Chris opens the class by dialing things down after the morning stress and then keeps coming back to breath: active exhalations, passive exhales, and a short guided breath practice in savasana. The movement weaves together hip-openers, low lunges, twists, balance drills, and plenty of careful options for the knees, shoulders, and lower back, with a strong emphasis on safe transitions and finding steadiness in wobbly places.

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.
