Luce Movement & Wellness

Yesterday marked the end of my Monday evening double, and two very special chapters for me 🧘🏽‍♀️🩰

Four years of teaching Monday evening BodyBalance and one year of teaching my first Pilates class.

What started as temporarily covering the Monday 6.35pm BodyBalance class turned into four years of helping people build strength, find balance and make time for themselves, all to some amazing music.

A year ago, I also started teaching my first Pilates class after qualifying. It’s been so wonderful to see the class progress, grow in strength, confidence and celebrate those little Pilates milestones along the way.

It’s been such a joy to support people on their own journeys, from first-timers to seasoned members, and to see everyone grow, evolve and trust the process along the way.

Thank you for trusting me, showing up each week and keeping me company on Monday evenings! 🫶🏽

Although I’m not going anywhere, I will definitely miss my Monday evening classes. It’s bittersweet, but it’s time to practise what I preach and make some space for myself too. I’m really looking forward to reclaiming my Mondays and enjoying some well-earned me time.

Thank you for the memories, the feel-good vibes and these last four years 💜

“You have a lovely pace and calm, contained presence.”

Kind words from a Lead Clinical Psychologist after I supported her team’s away day with a yoga and mindfulness session.

A team who spend their working lives holding space for others rarely get the opportunity to have space held for them 💙

Here’s the full testimonial:

“Thank you so much for a wonderful session, it was well needed and gave the team (and me!) a chance to slow down our mind/body. You have a lovely pace and calm, contained presence. It was lovely to have some ideas to use at work, especially when sat down all day.”

— Lead Clinical Psychologist, Birmingham and Solihull NHS Mental Health Trust

Sometimes what moves the needle most is simply slowing down together, along with a few practical tools to take back to the desk.

If your team could use a session like this, whether it’s an away day, a wellbeing week or a regular reset, send me a message. I’d love to help create it. 📩

It’s never just a yoga session... it’s a chance to press pause. 🧘‍♀️🩵

This is one of my favourite parts of what I do.

Walking into a workplace where everyone is busy doing their jobs, juggling deadlines, meetings and never-ending to-do lists...

..and watching the energy in the room change over the next hour.

Shoulders begin to soften.

People start to breathe a little deeper.

The room gets quieter.

By the end, there’s usually a smile, a laugh or someone saying, “I didn’t realise how much I needed that.” 💚

It reminds me that so many of us are carrying around more stress than we realise.

It’s rarely about becoming more flexible or mastering the perfect pose.

It’s about creating space to pause.

To reconnect with yourself.

To let go of some of the tension you’ve been carrying.

And to leave feeling calmer, clearer and just that little bit lighter.

I think we could all do with more moments like that. ✨

Have you ever had one of those moments where you didn’t realise how much you needed to stop until you finally did?

I’d love to hear about it. 🌿

Happy International Yoga Day & Summer Solstice! 🧘🏽‍♀️☀️

Today feels like a lovely day to pause and reflect on how much yoga has become part of my life.

It’s so much more than movement. Over the years, it’s helped me navigate challenges, find calm in stressful times, reconnect with myself, and appreciate the simple things a little more.

I still feel like a student every day, always learning something new, whether that’s on the mat, through the breath, or in everyday life.

And I never take for granted that I get to share these practices with others. Being able to create space for people to slow down, switch off from the busyness of life, and take some time for themselves is a real privilege. 💛

It feels extra special that International Yoga Day falls on the Summer Solstice, a beautiful reminder to celebrate the light around us and within us. ☀️

A big thank you to my students, teachers, and fellow yogis. Thank you for being part of the journey. 🙏🏽💛
