Michaela Boehm is coming to London! For one workshop only. Non-linear movement (really helpful - whether her 'model' or as a concept) around pelvic movement is often an important part of s*x therapy work. I'm sure it will sell out soon.

In our first in-person London event in 3+ years we are presenting new practices and explorations to awaken vitality, and immerse in bodily enjoyment and embodied pleasure.

An interesting read while recovering from major surgery. It took me a while. I've found while off work - meant to be on recovering/ sick leave, I wanted to nest = sort the house/ clear/ get all those things done when usually there isn't time! I found I had to schedule naps, exercise, cooking and deep rest time. How often do your REALLY rest outside of sleep hrs? I laughed as I found the 'best bits' of the book were where there were concise ideas/ lists of how to 'do' rest! It is so how ingrained and takes practice and structure to keep that nervous system in capacity.

Love a rude street sign. Sillyness and laughing out loud is important to me. Sometimes with the day to day ticking along, I realise I haven't belly laughed for a while. Then a silly moment or opportunity presents itself - and I have a choice to make. Take a moment and engage or put your head down and 'get on with the thing you were doing.'

Most people I work with have dsyregulated nervous systems. For some- it's at some stage in s*x or within a relationship. For others it is a way of life. The back brain is 'taking it to mean' there is a threat and the stress system activates. I find it hard to concentrate long enough to read books ( thanks ADHD) - but amazingly this held my attention. Can I share with other practitoners this book - if you don't have an excellent understanding of our nervous system - this will help you - and if you do - it is a brilliant resource for clients to gain some lightbulb moments in tamden with your work. Along with Irene Lyons free 3 part video 'healing trauma' - this is now one of my top resources for clients. ( Also available on audible)

It's mental health day! I could type something meaningful. But I stumbled across this image from The Curve Catwalk from a few years ago, that I seem to be a poster person for today! Yes - that's me, strutting my funky stuff. I was really nervous in this class. It was a new thing. I'd put it off once, and was a little annoyed about the photos etc being taken. But it popped up today, and made me smile. It's an unapologetic space for all bodies. Hoping you can find your tribe, and where you can move your body that makes you smile / cry/ move the energy through (ideally non liner-ally!) to get that life force energy moving.

Happy !!

A few wise women once said “Free your mind and the rest will follow”, well we know that one of the ways to free your mind is through the movement of your body

So at the Curve Catwalk we believe in freeing your body so the mind will follow. The extra endorphins will bring you clarity and the good vibes will give you energy!!

Try it today, put on your favourite song and just dance 💃🏾💜
