Happy Monday , what has the week gotvinstore for you ?

12/06/2026

I've been thinking a lot recently about how many people I see in their 50s who struggle to get down onto the floor and back up again with ease.

In the 30+ years I've been teaching Dance, fitness and yoga, it's something I've noticed becoming more and more common.

There's actually a simple test called the Sitting-Rising Test that asks just that: can you sit down on the floor and stand back up again without using your hands, knees or furniture for support?

It might sound simple, but it requires strength, balance, flexibility, coordination and core stability all working together. Research has even linked performance on this test to healthy ageing and longevity.

What I find fascinating is when we look at the world's Blue Zones — places such as Okinawa, Sardinia and parts of the Mediterranean where people often live long, healthy lives.

The people there aren't necessarily doing structured workouts. They're gardening, walking, climbing hills, sitting on the floor, carrying shopping, preparing food and moving naturally throughout the day. Their lives continue to ask their bodies to participate.

Modern life is very different. Chairs, cars, lifts and convenience mean we no longer need to move in the same way, and our bodies adapt to what we stop asking them to do.

This is one of the reasons I believe the asana (physical) practice of yoga is so valuable.

Yoga keeps us getting up and down from the floor, working on balance, maintaining mobility and building strength in a way that supports everyday life. It's not really about mastering difficult poses. It's about staying capable, independent and free to fully participate in life.

So here's a question...

Can you comfortably get down onto the floor and back up again?

If not, don't panic. It's not a reason for shame, it's simply information. The beautiful thing about the body is that it can adapt and improve when given the opportunity.

And if you'd like some support, my Wednesday yoga classes are a great place to start. 💛

ANCIENT TEACHINGS FOR MODERN LIFE
Pratyahara — Withdrawing from Noise 🤍

One of the limbs of yoga is Pratyahara, often described as withdrawing from external stimulation.

And honestly… no wonder so many people feel overwhelmed now.

Most nervous systems never get silence anymore.

Phones the second we wake up.
Constant notifications.
Scrolling whilst watching TV.
Music, podcasts, noise, information all day long.

We’ve become so used to constant stimulation that stillness can actually feel uncomfortable.

I notice it in myself too.
The urge to check.
To fill space.
To distract.

But yoga teaches us the importance of coming back inward sometimes.
Not to disconnect from life…
but to reconnect with ourselves beneath all the noise.

This is why practices like meditation, breathwork, Yin and even simply sitting quietly for a few minutes can feel so powerful.

They give the nervous system a chance to finally exhale.

Maybe today ask yourself:
When was the last time I experienced true silence without reaching for distraction? ✨

ANCIENT TEACHINGS FOR MODERN LIFE
“The body is the doorway to liberation.” 🤍

One of the things I love most about Ta**ra is that it doesn’t teach us to escape the body…
it teaches us to come home to it.

So many people live almost entirely in the mind.
Overthinking.
Worrying.
Analyzing.
Disconnected from how they actually feel.

I know I spent years there myself.
Living in survival mode, disconnected from my body because it felt safer not to feel too much.

But yoga and embodied practices slowly taught me something different.

That the body isn’t the problem.
The body is the doorway.

The breath.
The sensations.
The emotions.
The tightening in the chest.
The softening when we finally exhale.

All of it is information.
All of it brings us back into relationship with ourselves.

For me, healing didn’t happen through thinking my way out of pain.
It happened through learning how to safely come back into my body again.

I think that’s what so many people are craving now.
Not more information…
but connection ✨
