Today’s exercise snack targets your scalenes — three tiny muscles on both sides of your neck that most people never even knew existed, let alone worked directly. And yet they’re one of the biggest culprits behind neck and shoulder tension.
They help bend and stabilise your neck, and can assist your breathing by lifting your upper ribs — which means screens, stress, and forward head posture keep them working overtime. When they’re tight, it’s been linked to:
ℹ️ Neck stiffness and reduced range of motion
ℹ️ Tension headaches, jaw/cheek/eye pain
ℹ️ One-sided neck and shoulder pain
ℹ️ Knots and trigger points through the neck and upper back
Move slowly my lovely, stay well within comfortable range, never push into pain.

Thank you to everyone that came to our last outdoor yoga class at Oakwell Hall Country Park of 2026. 🥰

Again, we were blessed with the weather; the rain clouds rolled it just as we were closing our practice. 🙏

Today’s exercise snack is my favourite stretch of the week - supported fish. 🐟
Grab one yoga block for between your shoulder blades and one under your head (no blocks? A rolled up blanket or towel works just as well, your spine doesn’t care about aesthetics my lovely).
Come down onto your mat, let your chest open, arms flop out to the sides, and just melt. This is yin, so we’re not going anywhere for 3-5 minutes. Breathe. Resist the urge to check your phone.
⚠️ If you’ve got any spine issues, go gently here (or skip it) - chat to your body first.
Why we love it:
🫁 Opens up the chest and front of the shoulders (hello, desk posture)
💆‍♀️ Gently stretches the throat and neck
🧘‍♀️ Encourages deeper breathing
😌 Total nervous system reset - this one’s for the anxious overthinkers
Stay soft, stay long, let gravity do the work.

Today’s exercise snack is a somatic movement for your outer hips (abductors). 🌀
This is part two of the “swimming frog” hip reset we started earlier this week. If you missed Tuesday’s inner-thigh flow, go find it so you can do both together for the complete effect or you can pop over to YouTube for the full somatic flow (where’s there’s an option is this one is uncomfortable) - both sides follow along. 🐸🥰

YouTube link in comments. 👍

This gentle flow helps:
✨ Rebalance the hips even further, working the opposite muscle group
✨ Increase mobility through the hip, knee, and leg joints
✨ Support easier sitting, standing, walking, hiking, and biking
✨ Release tension that can contribute to IT band tightness, sciatica-type discomfort, and stiff, achy hips
Put both moves together and you’ve got a full hip reset, my lovely friends. 💛

NOTE: This isn’t a foam roller under my legs, it’s my mat that I needed to roll up so my feet could slide on the floor, as they wouldn’t slide on my mat.

Today’s exercise snack is a belly burn. 🔥🍑
You’re NOT swinging your legs, they’re innocent bystanders — it’s your core and PELVIS doing all the work.
Can’t straighten your legs? Leave them bent, the burn doesn’t care.
If you find you’re swinging your legs to “cheat” there’s a sneaky modification that makes this harder. 👀

Today’s exercise snack is child’s pose — let’s have a play. 🧘‍♀️
One pose, a handful of ways to feel it. String a few together and you’ve got yourself a short practice.
Try one, try them all - see what your body’s asking for today my lovely.

Before you do any kind of somatic movement practice, take a moment to actually feel where you're starting from. Standing/supine awareness is a simple body scan — no perfect posture, no fixing anything, just noticing. Where's your weight sitting? Is one hip higher than the other? Any tension through your shoulders or neck? This is how your brain learns to sense what's happening in your body, and it's the only way you'll actually notice what shifts after a practice. I do this before and after every somatic session — sharing the full guided version below my lovelies. 👇

As soon as the tripod is out! 🐾😴 Little love. 🥰 And yes, she is wearing a jumper - she’s just had a clip and she was cold, plus she loves her jumpers. 🤣
