The Art of Swaying: What Standing on One Leg Teaches Us About Resilience

In my 30 years as a physiotherapist and movement educator, I’ve watched countless people step onto a yoga mat or a rehab consult in my clinic and try to conquer the Tree Pose. Almost universally, the initial goal is rigid perfection. People lock their joints, hold their breath, and tense their muscles, desperately trying to become an unmoving statue.
But true wellbeing doesn't work that way. Neither does the human body.
There is a quote I always come back to when guiding people through mindful movement:
"In the storm of life, standing tall on one leg teaches us that balance isn't about being perfectly still—it's about learning how to sway without falling."

From a purely clinical perspective, balance is a highly dynamic conversation. When you stand on one leg, your nervous system is firing rapidly. Your foot and ankle are constantly making micro-adjustments. These are subtle, rapid sways that keep your center of gravity over your base. If you try to fight that natural sway by locking up, you inevitably topple over. Your body needs that wiggle room to stay upright.
The same rule applies to our emotional and mental wellbeing.
At The Self Project we often talk about longevity, healthy habits, and navigating the transitions of life, whether that’s managing a demanding career, parenthood, recovering from an injury, or simply aging well. Life will always send a gust of wind to throw you off center. If your mindset is rigid, you will break under the pressure. But if you give yourself permission to be flexible....to sway, adapt, and recalibrate when things get shaky, you develop true, lasting resilience.
So, the next time you practice your balance, whether on the mat or in the midst of a chaotic day, remember to soften your gaze and drop your shoulders. Embrace the wobble. The goal isn't to be completely still; it's to trust that you have the strength and flexibility to find your way back to center, every single time.

Why the June Winter Solstice is the Perfect Time to Let Go and Flourish

As we approach the June winter solstice, there is a distinct shift in the air. Here in the Southern Hemisphere, the days have grown shorter, the nights longer, and nature has slowed to a gentle, quiet crawl. It is the darkest day of the year, but it is also one of the most spiritually—and physically—powerful moments you will experience all year.
At The Self Project, we always talk about aligning ourselves with the natural rhythms of the earth. In my clinical practice, I see how often we force our bodies to be in a perpetual "summer"always producing, always upright, always on display, and always "on."
We hold our breath, tense our shoulders, and push through pain.
But, I explain to my clients and community, that nature doesn't bloom all year round, and neither should our bodies.
The winter solstice is a seasonal and biological invitation to stop pushing. It nature's sacred pause. Ifyour body has been feeling heavy, exhausted, or structurally stuck, this is your clinical permission slip to curl inward, let go of physical and emotional tension, and lay the groundwork to truly flourish.

1. The Cat-Cow Flow (The Fluid Transition):
Come to your hands and knees. As you exhale, arch your back toward the ceiling, tucking your chin and tailbone—curling completely into the dark, quiet space of your inner world (Cat Pose). As you inhale, slowly ripple your spine in the opposite direction, lifting your sit bones and opening your heart forward to welcome the light (Cow Pose). Move between these two shapes for 2–3 minutes, matching movement to breath. Feel your spine lubricate and awaken.

2. The Written Release:
Sit quietly. On a piece of paper, write down everything you are ready to let go of. The fears, the physical pain, the old versions of you. Read them out loud, say Thank you for the lessons, but I no longer need you, and safely burn the paper (or rip it into tiny pieces).

3. The Physical Invitation:
On a fresh piece of paper, write down 1 to 3 intentions that will help you flourish. Stand up tall, reach your arms wide to physicalize this expansion, and state them in the present tense (e.g., I move with ease,or I step into my power daily

Well done to our principal physiotherapist Rodney Rossetto for completing the Cairns half Ironman
A tough 2km swim, 90 km ride and 21 km run
Fabulous race time, enjoy the post exercise muscle soreness!

s a physiotherapist, I'm always looking for simple movements that reveal a lot about a person's overall health. Surprisingly, one of the most powerful assessments doesn't require expensive equipment, fitness trackers or a laboratory. It simply involves getting up from a chair.
The Single-Leg Sit-to-Stand (SLSTS) is often considered one of the most valuable indicators of functional strength, mobility and longevity. In many ways, it acts as a snapshot of how well your body is aging.

Stay Well this Winter...

Staying healthy in winter is about more than just dodging a cold; it’s about maintaining your physical vitality and mental "spark" when the environment is telling you to just stay in bed.
Here are 10 tips to help you thrive through the frost.

1. Master the Art of "Hygge" Lighting
Since sunlight is scarce,Natural Light is a premium currency. Try to get outside for at least 15 minutes during peak daylight (usually 10 AM – 2 PM). This helps regulate your circadian rhythm and keeps your mood stable.

2. Prioritize Vitamin D
In winter, the sun’s angle is often too low for our bodies to synthesize Vitamin D naturally.
Consult your doctor about a supplement. Vitamin D is crucial for immune function and preventing "Seasonal Affective Disorder" (SAD)

3. Hydrate (Even When You Aren't Sweating)
We often forget to drink water because we don't feel "hot." However, central heating is incredibly drying for your skin and respiratory system.
If cold water feels unappealing, switch to herbal teas or warm lemon water.

4. Feed Your Gut, Protect Your Health
70-80% of your immune system resides in your gut. Winter is the time for fermented foods*kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir) and fiber-rich root vegetables to keep your microbiome resilient against seasonal bugs.

5. Don't Abandon Movement
It’s tempting to pause the gym, but exercise releases endorphins that combat winter blues.
If it’s too cold outside, pivot to yoga, Pilates, or indoor swimming. The goal isn't intensity; it’s consistency.

6. Moisturize the "Winter Barrier"
Cold air and indoor heat strip moisture from your skin, which is your first line of defense against pathogens.
Use a thicker, oil-based moisturizer rather than a water-based lotion to create a protective seal.

7. Practice "Social Hibernation" (Wisely)
Isolation can be tough in winter. While it’s okay to stay in, make an effort to have meaningful social interactions. A phone call or a cozy dinner with a friend provides a mental health boost that a Netflix marathon can't replicate.

8. Optimize Your Sleep Hygiene
Winter is the natural season for rest. Use the darkness to your advantage by keeping your bedroom cool (around 18 degrees C) and dark. This mimics the natural environment and leads to deeper, more restorative REM sleep.

9. Wash Your Hands (The "20-Second" Rule)
It sounds basic, but it’s the most effective way to stop the spread of respiratory viruses.
Use a moisturizing soap to prevent your skin from cracking, which can create tiny entries for bacteria.

10. Embrace Warm Spices
Incorporate "warming" spices into your cooking, such as:
Ginger:; Great for digestion and circulation.
Turmeric:; A powerful anti-inflammatory.
Cinnamon:; Helps stabilize blood sugar.

Which of these do you find the hardest to keep up with when the temperature drops?

The first day of winter isn't just about the drop in temperature; it’s a celestial permission slip to slow down. Here is how to frame the season for your mental health:

A Gentle Affirmation
I honor my need for rest. Just like the seeds beneath the ground, I am not doing 'nothing'; I am preparing to bloom.

How are you planning to "winter" this year—are you leaning into the rest, or do you find the shorter days a bit of a challenge?

Why You Feel Stiff in the Morning
We’ve all been there. The alarm goes off and before you even reach for your phone, you feel it—that tightness in your lower back, the clicking in your ankles, or that heavy, stiff sensation like your joints are wrapped in cement. As a physio, one of the most common things I hear is, “I just need to stretch my muscles.” But the truth is, it’s rarely just the muscles. More often, it’s your connective tissue—your fascia, tendons, and ligaments—that has become a little “tacky” overnight.

Mindful monday
333 rule
The 333 rule may ease anxiety by shifting a person‘s attention back to the present moment, a technique known as grounding. To use the rule, people can identify 3 objects they can see, hear, and touch or move.
An advantage of the 333 rule is that it does not require any supplies, such as a notebook or a pencil. Speaking is not necessary, and no actions are visible to others. People can use the 333 rule anywhere or anytime they feel anxious.
The 333 rule is simple but may be more effective if someone applies it purposely and without rushing. People can focus on the following:
Three visible things
The goal is not to look for specific things but instead to notice what is already there. There are no size or importance criteria. People can focus on any three things, such as:
* a house across the street
* a book on a desk
* a parked car beside a sidewalk
Noticing three visible items in a person’s surroundings may help them transition from their worrisome thoughts to the present moment.
Three audible things
Sounds can also ground a person by bringing them into the present moment. Even the act of listening may be calming.
A person’s location can influence this experience. They might be in a quiet environment, waiting for each sound to occur. Or they could be in a noisy space in which they focus on identifying three sounds distinct from the overall noise.
Examples may include:
* a bird singing
* a car driving past
* floorboards creaking
Three moveable or touchable things
This category includes objects a person can touch or move, including parts of their own body. It aims to shift their attention to their tactile sense. Examples include feeling:
* the fabric of their clothing
* a phone in their hand
* the ground beneath their feet
If someone still feels anxiety after focusing on three items in each category, they can start at the beginning and repeat the process. Rodney RossettoBe Yogalatesmymojo

Can you be a Flamingo??
Practicing single-leg balance is one of the most underrated indicators of long-term health. As a physiotherapist, I often see clients focus on strength or cardio, but they forget that ...
balance is the foundation of functional movement.
Here is my short guide on why it matters and how you can start today.

Why Single-Leg Balance is a Longevity Essential...

The "Neuromuscular" Connection
Standing on one leg isn't just about your muscles; it’s a conversation between your brain, your inner ear (vestibular system), and your joints (proprioception). It forces your deep stabilizing muscles—like the gluteus medius and the small muscles around the ankle—to fire rapidly. This keeps your neural pathways sharp as you age.

Fall Prevention
I explain to my clients that Falls are a leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations in older adults. By improving your "static" balance now, you develop the "save" mechanism—the ability to catch yourself if you trip on a curb or slip on a wet floor.

Joint Health and Alignment
Single-leg exercises reveal asymmetries. If one hip drops or one ankle wobbles significantly more than the other, it indicates a weakness that could eventually lead to knee or lower back pain. Improving balance ensures your load is distributed evenly across your joints.

Brain Health
Research has shown a strong correlation between the ability to stand on one leg for 20+ seconds and better cognitive function. It requires significant concentration and motor control, making it a "vital sign" for brain health.

My Simple Daily Exercise tips
You don’t need a gym to improve your balance. Try these "habit-stacking" exercises that fit into your normal routine:
The "Toothbrush" Stance (Static Balance)
While brushing your teeth (or waiting for the kettle to boil), lift one foot off the ground.
Hold for 30 seconds per side.
If that’s easy, try doing it with your eyes closed. Removing visual input forces your brain to rely entirely on your joints and inner ear.

The Tandem Walk (Dynamic Balance)
Imagine you are walking on a tightrope. Place one foot directly in front of the other so that the heel of your front foot touches the toes of your back foot.
Take 10–15 steps forward, then 10–15 steps backward.
This narrows your "base of support," mimicking the stability needed for walking on uneven terrain.
Always keep a "soft" knee—don't lock your joint out. Engage your core and pick a spot on the wall to focus on to help find your center.
