Monday mornings have always been a bit of a non-negotiable for me.

After a weekend of doing: family stuff, jobs that need doing, places to be, and all the other things that seem to fill up two days, I often realise I've spent a lot of time doing and not much time being.

So before I launch into the week, after the boys have been dropped to school, I try to give myself a little space to land.

Nothing fancy. No perfect morning routine. Usually just a bit of yoga, a few deep breaths, and a chance to check in with myself.

How am I feeling physically?
What's my energy like?
What do I need today?

Sometimes it's a fuller practice. Sometimes it's 15 minutes squeezed in before I get on with everything else. But I never finish and think, "I wish I hadn't bothered."

It's actually one of the reasons I start my classes with a check-in. We spend so much of our lives moving from one thing to the next that it's easy to forget to notice how we're doing.

And if we don't pause to listen, how can we expect to know what our bodies are trying to tell us?

This feels especially true in midlife, when our bodies can suddenly start asking for different things from us. More rest. More nourishment. More moments of stillness amongst all the busy.

So this was my Monday morning.

A little movement.
A little breathing.
A little coming home to myself.

Do you have anything that helps you land at the start of the week? ✨

Well, that got a bit deeper than I expected...and if you stayed until the end, thank you!

So in the interests of balance, here are a few things that didn't make it into the carousel.

I will happily stop what I'm doing to admire a beautiful moon.

Or a butterfly.

Or an interesting cloud.

Basically, I'm very easily distracted by nature.

I know coffee is probably not the stereotypical yoga teacher drink, but if I'm choosing between coffee and tea, coffee wins every time. Matcha can go f*** off.

I have tried very hard to like chickpeas.

I have failed.

Give me South East Asian food or rustic French cooking over British stodge any day of the week.

My family would describe me as stubborn.

I prefer driven.

Or determined.

Or persistent.

(We're all probably right.)

I suspect I swear considerably more than people expect a yoga teacher to.

Particularly when technology is involved.

One of the things France is teaching me is that not every moment needs to be productive.

This is a lesson I appear to be learning very slowly.

Despite teaching yoga for years, there is still a reasonable chance I'll mix up my left and right in class.

At this point I've accepted it as part of my charm.

Watching my 8-year-old sing Teenage Dirtbag with absolute conviction will never stop making me laugh.

Sundays are family days.

Or at least that's the intention.

Life doesn't always get the memo, but it's something I try hard to protect.

The older I get, the more I'm convinced that none of us really know what we're doing all of the time.

We're all just figuring it out as we go.

Maybe that's why I love yoga.

Not because it helps us become perfect.

But because it gives us space to pause, pay attention and navigate life's inevitable twists, turns and scribbles a little more gracefully.

Anyway, enough about me.

Tell me something about you.

A random fact.

A weird dislike.

Something that would never make it onto your CV.

If one yoga pose could cure perimenopause, we'd all be doing it by now.

There. I said it.

As a yoga teacher, I love yoga. I've experienced firsthand how powerful it can be for managing stress, improving sleep, building strength, and helping us feel more connected to our bodies.

But I'm tired of seeing claims that one pose, one stretch, or one quick fix can "reverse" perimenopause symptoms.

Because perimenopause isn't a single symptom.

It's a complex hormonal transition that can affect everything from your sleep and energy to your mood, memory, recovery, and stress resilience.

When someone says, "This pose fixed my symptoms," what they're sharing is their experience.

Not necessarily a solution that will work for every woman.

Some women experience very few symptoms. Others experience symptoms that significantly impact daily life. Most fall somewhere in between.

That's why I believe we need less miracle-cure messaging and more honest conversations.

Yoga can be an incredible tool.

But it works best as part of a bigger picture that might include movement, rest, nutrition, stress management, community support, and medical care when needed.

You don't need a magic pose.

You need support, information, and approaches that honour your unique experience.

What's the wildest perimenopause advice you've been given?

I'm calling bu****it on what “wellness” has become for women lately.

Because somewhere along the way, looking after ourselves turned into a full-time monitoring exercise.

Track your sleep.
Track your food.
Track your steps.
Track your hormones.
Track your stress.
Track your recovery.

And if your numbers aren’t “good enough”?
Cue guilt. Anxiety. Self-judgement. Feeling like we've somehow failed at wellness too.

It’s exhausting.

Especially for midlife women already carrying the mental load of everyone and everything.

I’m not saying awareness is bad.

But there’s a huge difference between supporting yourself, and scrutinising yourself all day long.

You are not a spreadsheet.
You are not a sleep score.
You are not a set of fu***ng performance metrics.

Some of the healthiest moments in life cannot be tracked.

✨ belly laughing with friends
✨ eating without guilt
✨ walking without logging it
✨ deep rest
✨ being present enough to notice your actual life

That matters.

Happiness, contentment and just BEING is a MASSIVE part of wellness.

Maybe more than the optimisation industry wants us to believe.

This is one of the reasons I created SoulShine.

A space for midlife women who are tired of pressure disguised as wellness, and ready for something softer, wiser, more connected, and actually sustainable. A space for women who are ready to FEEL instead of track.

Through yoga, breathwork, rest, nervous system support, and community. SoulShine is about coming home to yourself instead of constantly trying to fix yourself.

If you’re craving that kind of support, send me a message with the word SOULSHINE ✨
