I’ve been quietly building something very close to my heart, and I’m finally sharing it with you. Unclench Your Jaw with Nimu is a podcast about the things we carry, often without realising we're carrying them.
Through stories, nervous system education, reflection, and gentle somatic practices, we explore the patterns that shape how we move through the world, and what it might look like to meet ourselves with a little more understanding.
This isn't a podcast about having all the answers. It's about slowing down enough to ask better questions.
Why does my body react this way? Why do I find it so difficult to rest? Why don't I trust myself? Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? What am I carrying that I don't need to carry anymore?
So if you've ever found yourself thinking, why am I like this? I hope you'll find something here that helps you replace that question with a gentler one, what happened to me, and what do I need now?
The full podcast is here. Have a listen, and if something resonates with you, I'd love to hear about it.

I’ve been working quietly on something I’ve wanted to create for a long time.
Finding Yoga with Nimu is a space for exploring the relationship between the body, the things we carry, and the ways we learn to live with ourselves.
It isn’t about becoming more flexible, perfecting a pose, or forcing yourself to relax.
It’s about slowing down enough to notice what your body might be telling you, making space for what you feel, and developing a different relationship with yourself.
I’ve created three six-week programmes for people who want to explore that work more deeply, through somatic practice, Yin Yoga, reflection, movement and honest conversation.
The website is now live.

Have a look around. There’s more coming very soon.

Yoga’s roots stretch back around 5,000 years to ancient India. Picture yogis in their dhoti pants, twisting like pretzels way before it was trendy. The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root "yuj," meaning "to yoke" or "to unite." So basically, it's the ancient version of LinkedIn, but for your mind, body, and soul!

Fast forward a few centuries, and you've got Patanjali, the Shakespeare of downward dogs, penning the Yoga Sutras around 400 CE. Then, Hatha yoga strutted onto the scene in the 11th century, focusing on physical postures and breath control, paving the way for modern yoga poses like the “corpse pose,” which, let’s be honest, we all secretly love. It’s the only workout move where doing absolutely nothing is the goal!

Yoga eventually did a world tour in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Indian gurus like Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda were the rockstars of wellness, bringing yoga to the West. It wasn’t long before folks in the U.S. and Europe swapped their jazzercise routines for sun salutations, hoping to achieve the ultimate state of “om”niscience.

But wait, there's more! Africa didn’t miss the yoga boat. In recent decades, yoga has stretched into the hearts and hamstrings of countries like South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria. Imagine doing a warrior pose under the African sun—talk about finding your inner peace while working on your tan! African yoga practitioners often blend traditional African spiritual practices with yoga, creating a smoothie of cultural awesomeness. That’s right, yoga in Africa isn’t just about stretching your body; it’s about stretching your cultural horizons too.

Here’s a fun anecdote: One time, during a particularly intense yoga session, a friend of mine was so deep in meditation that they started snoring in the middle of “savasana.” The entire class was trying to achieve zen while stifling giggles. Talk about a snore-laxation technique!

So, whether you're a seasoned yogi or just bending over backward to touch your toes, yoga's rich history shows it's more than just physical exercise—it's a quest for self-discovery, inner peace, and mastering the art of not falling asleep during savasana.

Namaste and hakuna matata! 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️🌍

Yoga's 5,000-year journey from India to the world unites mind, body, and soul.

🌸 Rest is a form of self-care. 🌸
As we close this incredible 21-day Sun Salutation journey, let’s take a moment to honour not just movement, but stillness. Growth happens when we listen to our bodies and give them the care they need.
This week, let’s embrace gentle and restorative practices:
🌿 Deep breathing exercises.
🌿 Meditation for mindfulness.
🌿 Gentle stretches to unwind.
I am taking this time to rest and recover after an unexpected sprain and it’s a perfect reminder that yoga is about more than physical poses—it’s about finding balance in every part of life.
What’s your favorite way to reset and recharge? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 🌞
