When your system is under too much stress for a long period of time, you can not perform optimally, can not change, can not grow, can not move freely, and can not recover.

Some things we do in our weekly classes (and online classes)

• Prioritising yourself
• Spending more time in flexion (most of us are living in a hyper-extended, anxiety inducing state)
• Encouraging alternating reciprocal movement (losing the ability to alternate results in a tired body / system)
• Hip shifting (your nervous system loves this, it also eases SI joint, knee, and back pain)
• Rotation (without rotation, you simple can’t move well)
• Breathing into restricted parts of your ribs
• Learning to empty your lungs with a full exhale (best full body mobility drill IMHO)

This is leaves you feeling, “decompressed” rather than fatigued.

Call it a yoga class, call it a mobility class, call it movement, call it recovery, it doesn’t matter.

The body can heal when you prioritize unwinding your system, and giving it what it’s asking for.

Whether you’re an elite athlete, or new to movement, or if you’re a new mom, you need to prioritize spending more time in a parasympathetic state.

I made this Ramadan challenge for the busy ones who are looking to add nourishing movement to their lives, without having it consume or overwhelm your life.

Move, get strong, breathe, flow, and rest. This one month challenge is my most popular online program to help you feel your best inside-out during the month of Ramadan.

You’ll wake up your muscles, your core, your joints, your energy, and feel rejuvenated, without burning yourself out.

This program consists of 3 workout videos per week. All videos are pre-recorded, so you can practice at your own schedule. Many tools are integrated to give your mind and body the best of many worlds:

⚡️Vinyasa yoga - to find a meditative state of flow.
⚡️Barre with guest teacher - to strengthen your core and end ranges.
⚡️Mobility - to increase your flexibility and strengthen your joints.
⚡️Strength - to build muscle and bone density.
⚡️Restorative yoga and yoga nidra with guest teacher - to relax and unwind.
⚡️Plus, you get access to 4 more bonus classes, for a total of 16 classes.

Although fasting is a challenge for your brain, it’s also very healing for your body, because it shifts your body away from the stress response, aka fight or flight mode.

This stress response is what shuts down all of your organs; many of us are constantly living in a heightened stress response. This stress response is the biggest reason for illness, and impairs your reproductive system, digestive system, immunity and so much more.

These 7 daily habits are so important to make the most of your fasting, or support your nervous system to reap similar benefits if you’re not fasting.

As women, our bodies crave to feel supported, grounded and calm, but often we're no where near that.

We put on so many hats: the daughter, the mother, the wife, the boss, the friend, the leader, and more.

So because we feel we’re always needed, we get stuck in this state of alertness and adrenaline.

You might be surprised to hear a health professional say this, but stress is good. There is such a thing as healthy tension, which helps you grow. Think of all the things you've achieved, which wouldn't have been possible had you not been under a bit of stress.

But you don't want to be there, in this state of stress, all the time. That's how burnout and fatigue happens. You also don't want to be in the "rest and digest" state for a very long time either, otherwise you'd get bored, and unmotivated.

Today we talked about how to regulate your internal state in the workplace at ’s International Women's Day, along with a practical session to give these superwomen a chance to take care of themselves.

Sometimes I get so stuck in my bubble that I forget how much I love to share my learnings with new faces. I am so glad this was of value.

Thank you so much for having me.
