New class incoming πŸ’«

Something that we've been planning over the summer

As the evenings draw in and the urge to get cosy takes over, the perfect way to feel you feels as the seasons change is with somatic breathwork

An opportunity to slow down your breath, slow down your body and notice who you are beneath the rush

On the third Wednesday of the month, we begin from September 16th MoreYoga Walthamstow

For members or book on pay-as-you-go

I can't wait to see you there πŸ’š

Sometimes I have so much imposter syndrome in being part of (how should I put it?) "conscious communities" when I've spent a lot of my life in a world that doesn't exactly align

I'm slowly coming to accept that I don't have to fit into anyone's expectations of what a "holistic practitioner" should be

Enjoy my visual CV that covers the past 23 years!

Look out for the flipside coming very soon

I thought that studying science would give me solid answers and security. That is not the path for the vast majority of academics

Part of my undergrad was a year in industry in Cambridge. Lots of memories punting on the river πŸ˜„

I do miss being in the lab and my favourite Gilson 1000 mL

IYKYK

My first non-temping job out of undergrad was kind of indescribable! Weekends collecting sweat-soaked cotton pads from under people's armpits and weighing them was a pretty low point!

Back in the day when most paperwork was actually paper!

I loved working with the very brilliant and kind doctors and nurses

NHS forever πŸ’™

I went back to uni after a few years of missing the lab. Part of my PhD was a collab with amazing scientists in the mid-west

Arriving in February, I learnt that -40 Celsius is the equivalent of -40 Fahrenheit πŸ₯Ά

The company crazily put me up in a hotel the whole time I was there. I have never had so many people be so open and kind... and insist that I go out to the countryside and shoot some guns! An experience!

The photo of me presenting has been lost to the sands of time forever (along with everything between 2014 and 2018 in a back-up error), so here I am at the Buenos Aires conference centre/bull market with all my lanyards

Not all (read: very few) PhD's yield groundbreaking findings, but I did manage to publish a review article

Points for those of you who can guess my middle name!

My next chapter after academia was medical communications

Again, lots of opportunity to travel (Europe, US, Asia), not so much to see too much outside of the hotel/conference centre

Always incredibly impressed with how much doctors at the top of their game can achieve in terms of learnings and kindness to their patients

The controversial (for some!) slide

Now available: CST packages 🀍

Committing to yourself is easy to talk about. Harder to actually hold space for

That's why I'm offering blocks of 3, 4, or 6 sessions

It's been a couple decades since I was in school, but September still feels like a fresh start. New notebooks, new teachers, a chance to begin again

So here's my September upgrade 》 a new Instagram handle

I'm now Holly Hopkins | Craniosacral Therapy | Breathwork

It matches my website, easier to find, easier to point a friend toward πŸ˜‰

And if someone in your life needs craniosacral therapy or breathwork, this is a good moment to send them my way!

Setting up for the season ahead. Let's see what's possible

What are you hoping for in this next chapter?

For all of you SATC heads out there, this scene forever lives in my mind!

I love the tenant that there are 3 ways to change your state:
πŸ’ƒ Movement
🎢 Sound
🌬️ Breath

For those days when you feel in a funk and don’t know why, and for those when you do, spending a few minutes to feel your breath moving through your lungs might be the softening you need

Like the other day when I drank a coke zero and a bubble tea in an afternoon (🫣) and started feeling jittery, anxious and ungrounded

Finding some time to breathe through meant I was able to stop freaking out and practice what I preach when I went to teach my Monday breathwork class

Are you able to put a pause in your spiral and breathe?

There's a lot of talk right now about how "nervous system regulation" gets used to tell people they need to be calm all the time, and that it bypasses the difficult feelings that come with being human

But what about when you were never taught how to feel your feelings?

They don't get felt. They get spiralled through, numbed out, or even turned into a story about what's wrong with you

Regulation isn't about skipping the feelings. It's what lets you stay in the room with them

The goal was never calm. It's learning capacity, the ability to start to witness the lack of calm and gradually get to know what it's telling you. That you don't always have to run

For me, it can be as simple as noticing my breath. Finding one slow exhale that becomes the anchor back from the spiral into stillness

An awareness of what is real in the moment, even when it's difficult. Enough ground under me that I can feel it and stay
Widening the comfort zone little by little

To me, nervous system regulation and present-moment awareness let me be in my life, rather than looking for ways to manage my way out of discomfort

Let me know in the comments if this resonates

Gotta celebrate myself a little bit today!

It's probably been longer since I was last actually 'drunk', but I mark this anniversary as having 2 glasses of Bollinger at a wedding πŸ₯‚

Now its double-parked with mocktails every time 🍹🍹

Easiest and best choice I ever made

Many people who come to see me have spent years getting really good at saying 'yes'.

Yes to the extra responsibility. Yes to the plan that wasn't quite theirs. Yes to showing up for everyone else first. Yes when they didn't really mean it.

Saying 'no' when you're worried about what the response is going to be can be scary. But what if the first step isn't being brave enough to say it β€” it's just learning to feel it?
