It feels like technology could totally transform our lives and yet we are more exhausted and overwhelmed than ever.

Our bodies need something different and a break from screens and AI.

I've made Quiet Ground - a digital download with 4 audio restorative practices to help you when you feel like you need to find some quiet and to help you develop helpful practices to support yourself nervous system.

Link is in my bio or you can find it on the Active Stillnss website.

This is for you if you’ve been rushing, overthinking, snapping at people you love, or just feeling like you’ve lost the thread of yourself.

Your nervous system isn’t broken. It’s just asking for something gentler.

I’ve put together a free 5-Minute Nervous System Reset Kit with simple grounding tools, a breathwork practice, three restorative poses, and a glimmers meditation.

No yoga experience needed. No quiet house required. Just five minutes and a willingness to be kind to yourself.

Free in my bio. Or send me a DM.

Interoception is awareness of your body's internal senses or signals. It identifies how you feel. You can consciously or unconsciously respond to these signals.

Currently my body is telling me to be outside as much as possible.

The more you look for glimmers, the more the world starts to glisten ✨

When you make a quiet commitment to noticing the small good moments, something in your nervous system starts to shift. Not overnight. But gradually, your attention begins to move differently.
More glimmers appear. Not because life got easier, but because you got better at seeing them.
.. when you catch one, don’t just let it pass.
Anchor it.
Pause. Take a breath. Feel where it lands in your body, maybe warmth in your chest, softness in your shoulders, an exhale. Let yourself actually be in it for a moment, not just noting it and moving on.

This is how your nervous system learns. Not through thinking, but through feeling. Through repetition. Through a hundred tiny moments of oh, in this moment - I am okay.

Over time, you’re not just collecting glimmers. You’re building a body that knows how to find them.

When life has other plans!

I’ve been dealing with some tricky back issues over the Easter break and my favourite ways of exercising often ask quite a lot of my body so I have found it quite frustrating.

It's been a good time to practice what I teach! Listening to your body and what feels right for it.

This is Chandra Namaskar. Moon salutation.
Where Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) is about building heat and strength in the body - the sun. Moon Salutation moves side to side, like the tide, it's about feminine energy, settling the nervous system and finding a quiet kind of strength.

That’s what I’ve been practising on my mat lately. Not pushing through. Finding strength by turning inwards.
If your body is asking you to slow down right now, you’re not behind. You’re in a different phase. And that phase is still sacred.

When people tell me they find yoga boring, I always wonder if it’s because they were taught to do the poses… but not supported to actually feel their body.

For stress and anxiety, the magic isn’t perfect shapes.
It’s noticing what changes when you move, breathe, and soften.

If yoga hasn’t worked for you before, what part didn’t land?
boring / awkward / too slow / too hard / confusing

A tiny nervous system support tool you can try on your next walk.

Slow your pace just a little.
Unclench your hands.
Soften your jaw.
Let your arms swing naturally.
Have a gentle look around and notice what’s here.
Then breathe in through your nose… and let the exhale be a little slower.

It’s simple, but it can help your body soften and feel a bit more steady.

✨ My new Active Stillness website is launching soon, with a beginner-friendly nervous system course coming with it.
Follow for updates, and save this for when you need it.

I’ve worked with NGOs for a few different causes over the years, and today Ive been supporting women who have been trafficked.

Trauma informed yoga is really about interoception and choice. It’s the gentle work of noticing what’s happening inside and knowing you get to decide what feels right for your body.

We explored slow grounding movements and some cross lateral work movements. Cross lateral patterns help the two sides of the brain communicate again, which can be disrupted by trauma. They support coordination, focus, and a sense of connection in the body, and they often help the nervous system settle in a really simple, accessible way.

This is Active Stillness in practice.

Ever feel like you’re running on empty, even after resting?

Recently, my Garmin kept telling me:
ā€œBody Battery low – too much stress to recover overnight.ā€
⁣
This might sound familiar - not enough time for naps or lie ins to recover.
⁣
Even with early nights and good intentions, your nervous system can still be stuck in over drive.
⁣
It's at these moments when I turn to my practice of Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep.

It’s a guided meditation you do lying down. No movement, no effort. Just rest. It supports your body in releasing tension and gives your nervous system the reset it’s craving... the best thing is it can be done in 20 minutes - rather than finding time for an hours nap!
⁣
This practice is powerful for stress, anxiety, burnout and trauma recovery.
⁣
šŸ’œ I’ve created a free Yoga Nidra recording for anyone who wants to try it.
⁣
Send me a DM and I’ll send it straight over to you.
⁣
You don’t need to push through. You don’t have to earn your rest... and there are some great choices you can make to help your body find recovery šŸ™.

When life gets hard...

This quote from one of my students was shared with me this week. Their story was as difficult as most of us could ever imagine. It was an honour to have them on our programme.

As a teacher, if I can create safety in classes, where someone is finally able find some calm and some peace - then I've achieved a huge goal.
