This class blends steady, beginner-friendly strength work with lots of supportive prop use, starting on the mat with resistance bands, blocks, and a focus on finding stability through the spine, hips, and shoulders. Karen layers in hamstring stretches, bridge variations, core work, seated band exercises, and standing balance practice with the chair, then eases it all down with figure-four, supported rest, and a long shavasana. It’s a calm, practical class with a clear emphasis on functional strength, posture, and moving with control rather than speed.

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.
