Hey,

I’m back from our retreat at Vericoco, Kefalonia Greece, and of course it’s raining here in the UK.

We had such a wonderful time, laughing, relaxing, making new friends and taking time to step away from the world and be.

So I thought it would be lovely to take a little slice of that so we can visit it any time.

I really wish I could have packed you all into my suitcase so we could all have gone, but this is the next best thing.

Sending lots of love and I hope you enjoy!

Did you know that our grip strength is one of the most reliable predictors of how long and how well you’ll live?

Research consistently links stronger grip to lower all-cause mortality — it’s one of the simplest measures of overall health we have. And the good news? You can work on it from your sofa with a tennis ball.

This short hand strengthening class takes you through a series of ball squeezes, pinch grips across every finger, and some gentle rolling and throwing work for dexterity.

Grab a squishy ball if you’ve got one, a tennis ball if not, and let’s get to it.

Please note: this is a general strengthening class. If you’re managing any pain or a flare-up in your hands, check with your healthcare provider before starting.

Thank you so much to everyone who came live to this session, there were lots of thoughtful comments and questions in the comments and I apologise that we couldn’t get to them all.

I hope you enjoy the recording as much as I enjoyed chatting to the wonderful Toni about her new book.

And if you enjoyed our conversation then you’re going to LOVE my new podcast that is coming out next week called Before the Work Begins. I’ll be talking to creatives about how they spend their mornings. The first episode is coming on Wednesday 13th May where I’ll be talking to the world class actress and local legend herself, Jill Halfpenny. All you have to is subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you enjoyed todays live session, we did some alternate nostril breathing, moving meditation and ended with a compassion boost.

Let me know how you got on!

Much Love,

Hello,

Aaaaaand we’re back to our regular programming of one bite-size session you can do every Monday without having to get out your mat or change your clothes. With some more goodies in the week.

Today is a stretch for your lower back and hips that you can do seated.

I hope you enjoy!

Much Love,

Thank you so much to all 120 of you that joined me live for the 15 minute live relaxation session to celebrate the end of our Lent Sprint.

It was so special to see people from all over the world come together and have 15 minutes to chill out and ground ourselves.

Don’t worry if you missed it because here it is!

If you do the session don’t forget to drop where you’re doing from so I can say hi and we can see how even though we are doing these sessions on our own, we’re so connected.

Much Love!

Jo xx

PS

Oh and of course here’s the final playlist, it’s called Songs for Staring Into the Horizon and it’s just full of beautiful music just for that.

Today we have a 5 minute breath work session to relax and calm the mind.

As always with breath work, take it at your own pace, it’s always ok to stop or to start again. I hope you enjoy!

🌻The Let’s Connect Back To Our Inner Magical Weirdo Selves - Alternative Lent Transformational Sprint (Working Title) 🌻 18th Feb - 2nd April

Every day in lent I will share a prompt for us to help us get our wonderful spark back together. It’ll be transformational, epic and of course lots of fun.

The prompts will be easy to follow and to fit in the day. And we can all support each other in the comments and chat.

This is going to be available to all members, because quite frankly I think the world needs it right now.

But of course if you can afford it please consider upgrading because it’s the paid subscriptions that allow any of this to happen. This is all run by me from my spare room after all. If you have already upgraded know that I appreciate you so much.

Let me know if you have any questions below!

Much Love,

Hey there, beautiful weirdos,

I’ve been speaking to so many people recently who are feeling a bit, bleh.

Like there’s nothing actually wrong but at the same time, something is missing, like they are disconnected to who they are deep down.

So I thought, lets shake it all up!

Because yoga isn’t about making us conform and be ‘good’, and it’s not just about relaxing or getting strong, it’s also about connecting us to those weird and wonderful parts of ourselves, the playful, colourful, delighted parts.

All the parts that can dull as we get older and try and fit into boxes.

It’s to give us the skills, confidence and trust to be who we were always meant to be. Whole.

So Let me Introduce…………
