💭 Work/Life Update 💭

Two months ago I made a very difficult decision to step down from a management position. This was not part of the plan 🫠 but, after a couple of difficult months of working and some personal/family life things, everything felt overwhelming all of the time… something had to give and unfortunately it was that. (Also, mum guilt is VERY real no matter what you do 🤷‍♀️)

I’m still very happy at the studio I work at and it’s not a reflection of anything else, other than being a working parent is bloody hard and right now my priority is home and family life.

I’ve always been so career driven, ambitious. So stepping down and leaning into some space has felt so incredibly difficult and confusing! I’ve began sharing yoga again. Without it, it felt like a missing piece of the puzzle 🥰 final prep is underway for only a couple more things which I’m excited for. This is not a ‘woe is me’ post. So, why am I sharing this?

A slice of reality. Removing the filter and reminding myself that social media is a warped sense of reality. It has its place, but I’m someone who believes in honest and open communication whenever possible - so here is that honesty ❤️

So grateful to all who are close to me and to the amazing people I get to work with and the beautiful clients I’m lucky enough to teach. I love what I do, and it’s a privilege to do it.

See you in class for planks, pulses and my best effort to count to 10 🤭😏❤️

We rise by lifting others ✨

…Don’t worry, we won’t come and pick you up or do the ‘Dirty Dancing lift’ with you (still a goal for me though 😆) 😜🤭 but we will lift your spirits, your expectations of yourself and support you in every class ♥️

2025, the year that changed my life.
The year I met my son.
The year I became a mummy.
The year I learnt the most about myself.
The year I’ve had the best my relationship with my body.
The year healing truly began.
The year I slept less, but got snuggles instead.
The year my dad inspired me more than ever to keep moving. (Proud of you dad!)

The year I set no goals, no PB’s, no expectations.

The only intention I set this year was to be the best mummy I can be. A lifelong intention and I’m not sure that it can ever be measured, but it’s the most important intention I have ever set.

There have been many tears both happy, anxiety filled, frustrated at times (with myself), and sometimes sad. But there have also been so many smiles, laughs, memories and firsts 🥹

I started a new role which was unexpected, but another amazing opportunity for both growth and learning. Not all women are treated well during, or after maternity leave. I do massively count myself lucky that I have had nothing but support ♥️ thank you George and Margarita! And thank you to our amazing members for welcoming me back with open arms and so much warmth! I’m so so lucky.

I’m grateful for it all.
Grateful for the love, the support, the kindness and those who have been there through both the great and the hard moments. Thank you to my fiancé who keeps me grounded and supports me everyday, I’d be lost without you!

A year I’ll hold in my heart forever ♥️

Happy New Year all 🫶

See you on the flip!

❗️REHAB❗️
These videos are nothing ‘instagramable’ really.

Keeping it real with what my current movement looks like and a reminder that stripping things back to basics is never a bad thing.
Sometimes, less really is more 🙏

Video 1: Rollbacks, then with added rotation.
*Here I am focusing on really articulating my spine but also recruiting my pelvic floor & deeper ab muscles (transverse abs) first, before the upper layers as I still have some ab separation.

Video 2: Short Spine
*Focusing on controlling the movement throughout and at the end of the movement in particular, really focusing on my spine leading the way and not letting my legs take over! (Feels good for the hamstrings too!)

Both videos: Serious face 😂

Two classical exercises that right now are really helping me and supporting my recovery from C section and SI joint niggles that have resurfaced - being hypermobile and still early PP, I need to be mindful not to overstretch!

Of course there is nothing wrong with some creative flare 😍 but for me right now, keeping things simple is doing wonders for my body and I’m so grateful for this healing process🙏♥️

Side note: I think there is a lot of negativity surrounding the post partum period. And as someone who did fear it, the main things I’d say are educating yourself (honestly made my experience way less fearful) and being kind to yourself 🫶 although there are hard days, it really can be so beautiful and healing ❤️‍🩹

Having a ball 🎉 (… see what I did there 🙊😅)

2024, you have been the best year of my life to date! Both personally and professionally. If you’d told me at the start of the year I was going to be offered a promotion, turn it down and go fully self employed, do two courses to improve my skills and fuel my mind, begin working in a dream studio, go abroad 4 times, a scheduled heart op which got cancelled after falling pregnant for the first time and get engaged in NYC at Christmas… I’d genuinely think you were having me on 😂

The beauty of all this? Not one of it I had planned or expected to happen. This year has shown me that opening your mind, your heart, being brave and trying not to control everything can literally change your life. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done very long days, long weeks, studied and worked hard as well as taking time off and trying to keep a social life.

On the last day of our time in NYC, I cried walking down the street out of the blue. Yes, pregnancy hormones probably contributed 😂 but I had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. I feel so incredibly blessed for everything this year. Grateful for meeting so many new people and the support from my loved ones- honestly I don’t think there are enough words 😭♥️

Not every year is a high. Not every year is what we hope for and I don’t write this forgetting about the harder times or the lows - they are what shape us and give us strength when we thought we had none. But we have to appreciate the good, and we appreciate them so much more when we’ve had those tough times.

A year I’ll never forget. Thank you to those who have made it so♥️

Merry Christmas and wishing health, love and happiness for 2025 ###xx

✨NEW WORKSHOP SERIES ✨
A 4 week series of workshops designed to help you align your training and nutrition with your menstrual cycle 🙌

This will be game changing and highlight why some weeks we can feel like superwoman and conquer more high intensity workouts 🦸‍♀️ and other weeks we need our slower, more mindful movement followed by a bath and a good book 👌

I’m excited to be collaborating with who will be focusing and sharing all her incredible knowledge and passion for this subject and how what we eat can hugely impact PMS, energy and more. I know from working with Tina last year how helpful this was for me as I have always had bad cramps! Honestly - this stuff WORKS 🙌

No longer have a cycle? We’ve got you covered too 🥰

Head to the link in my bio for a full breakdown and what to expect and how to sign up 🥳

Any questions? Feel free to DM either of us 🤗

This photo captured by the wonderful really sums up the vibe at 🥰

(And my love for .hpilates 😘)

I walk into the studio everyday, and I have never left without having smiled or laughed both with our members and with our Anasa team ♥️

Surround yourself with people who lift you, want the best for you - and if you can move, become healthier, stronger, more confident then what an absolute bonus🙌

So grateful I get to call this work 🫶♥️

✨ New Workshop Series ✨

Following on from the first workshop in April, I realised that more time was needed to focus on specific areas of the body that are particularly prone to injury, lack of mobility and flexibility.

So I’ve extended it to one hour and a half per workshop which will include a handout with all the stretches and mobility exercises we do. We will focus on a specific area for each workshop and hopefully as well as feeling the benefit of the movements, you’ll learn more about the amazing human body and how you can look after yours ♥️

Suitable for anyone and everyone 🤗
£12 per workshop or all three for £30.
Booking live on my website or see on the post other booking options: https://kpmindbody.co.uk/timetable-pricing/yoga-flow-classes/

Limited spaces, hope to see you there 🥳🎉 x

So as of June, I’m going fully self employed 😳😅🥳

This wasn’t really the plan right now (it always was going to happen at some point!) but sometimes things happen and as scary as it feels, I’m just going for it ♥️

Now taking on more PT clients 🎉 all details on the post but please feel free to share or reach out if you have any questions 🥰

Free 30 minute consultations prior to any booking.

I’ve been a PT for 7 years now and my focus and outlook on life is so different from when I started.

I’m here to guide and support you to being the best version of YOU.

To help you create habits that will support you for the rest of your life not just for the short term. ♥️
