Cat on the mat

There's space for you at our yoga classes this week.

Your nervous system isn’t meant to be calm all the time - and nothing has gone wrong if it doesn’t feel that way.

In our Trauma Informed Yoga sessions with Cat, we gently explore how your body responds to stress and build flexibility so you can:

🌱 feel less overwhelmed

🌱 recover more easily from stress

🌱 understand what your body needs

You may hear the phrase “window of tolerance.”
This is your capacity to cope.

Message Cat if you'd like to explore how to work together to gently expand it.

If, like me, meditation can sometimes feel tricky, that’s okay. The goal can be whatever feels manageable and meaningful for you in this moment.

There's a trauma-informed meditation on the website to gently guide you into rest and then back to calm wakefulness.

Before you begin, you might like to:

🌱 Set aside around 15 minutes of time
🌱 Find a comfortable, quiet place where you feel safe

Please don’t listen to this meditation while driving.

This week has been tricky.
I felt like hiding away most of the time to be sad on my own.
Grief takes a long time to process, so it's fairly normal for me.
Teaching some really lovely classes has drawn me out of my duvet nest and onto the mat.
It really is one of my happy places. One the mats, sharing yoga that genuinely helps people to feel good.

Today's session at The Snowdrop Project was a good example. Students shared some things that were exciting or going well for them. It filled my heart and left a smile on my face.

So, thank you to everyone who has joined me on the mats, both this week and over the last 10 or so years. You are all awesome.
