What's your number?

Our grip strength can dictate our overall strength. So I wanted to give this challenge a go.

How long can you hang for?

90 seconds is recommended for females.

Coming in cold today and slightly tired from yesterday's hanging during my session - but I'll take it.

Have you heard about Fascia yet?

Fascia is now understood to be one of the most expansive and interconnected systems in the human body. It wraps and weaves through everything — muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, and even our organs. Many describe it as a kind of “human internet,” an intelligent web that communicates throughout the whole system.

When we listen deeply to the fascia, it has the remarkable ability to unwind — to soften, release, and reorganize long-held patterns. These may be connected to past physical events like concussions, impacts, surgeries, or injuries, as well as emotional tensions or protective responses the body has stored over time.

Because fascia is both structured and fluid, it can change its tone and tension when given the right conditions. As these shifts occur, the body can naturally move toward greater alignment, ease, and balance. This often supports reduction in pain, improved mobility, and a sense of clarity or emotional release.

Curious how Fascia Unwinding can support you?

Let your body unwind the stories it has been carrying. Create greater fluidity within to support your daily living.

Grab a cuppa tea, and join Kae Lynn of Embodied Truth & I for this juicy conversation.

"What if the answers you’ve been searching for aren’t outside of you at all… but buried underneath everything you’ve been taught to believe?

In this deeply honest and vulnerable conversation, I sit down with Heidi Firth of Be Your Own Guru to explore what it really means to come home to yourself, to move out of the noise of the mind and into the quieter wisdom of the body.

We talk about the journey from the head to the heart, learning to hear the subtle language of your body, questioning the beliefs and patterns you’ve simply accepted as “the way things are,” and what happens when your life starts asking you to slow down and listen.

Heidi shares parts of her own story that shaped the woman she is today, including childhood trauma, shame, disconnection, self-parenting, and the unconscious ways our past can shape the reality we create as adults."

What if the answers you’ve been searching for aren’t outside of you...

It's time we changed our relationship with rest.

As something that only occurs when we're, ill, tired or forced to.

What if rest was our default setting and how we moved from this place was fueled by our rest?

While the only thing constant is change in the world, find habits, practices, routines that support the person you are becoming through this change.

What are your dreams, your visions, what is your WHY?

WHY do you do what you do?
What drives your actions in the world?
Money, recognition, obligation, paying the bills, purpose, love, joy?

If you don't know your answers then it's time to go within.

Cultivating & nurturing your most important relationship is vital for health, your soul and more...

Join us for Yin Yoga to carve out time to reconnect and deepen your most important relationship with YOU!

Learn to listen to your inner world, support your nervous system, stretch your muscles, listen to the stories of fascia and more..

Post eclipse integration is a thing, and we're in it until mid month.

How are you riding the waves and integrating what arose?

Sometimes we could do with a bit of therapeutic support in aiding to realign the body, our mind and our energy bodies. We are a complex yet simplistic constellation of many components.

If you're feeling the need for some gentle space to be heard either by talking, in deep fascia work or energetic healing - consider booking yourself in for some needed self care.

Sessions are held at the peaceful and beautiful Misty River Retreat, Blenheim.
Also available online as energy knows no bounds.
They're unique and tailored to your needs.
The affects are felt immediately and can continue post session.

Or perhaps you're in need of community gathering?

100 CLASSES!!

Last night we acknowledged 100 x Wednesday Yin Yoga Classes here in Blenheim!

Thank you to each & every individual who has ever joined us for a Yin Yoga class at Body Restore Clinic.

Yin Yoga is one of my favorite practices to cultivate our relationship with ourselves - the MOST important relationship there will ever be.

Many of our participants have been coming from the very beginning and say this is now simply a part of their weekly ritual. Turning down other invitations as to not miss it!

We're missing Yin & Cacao sessions on Sundays, though I am very slowly working to create its return.
2 hours of uninterrupted time for yourself + cacao + nourishing stretches + more... Stay tuned.

Wishing your body & mind much fluidity & joy!

Coming home to your body, isn't always some wonderfully easy ride rich with pleasure and good vibes.

For many, the reason we might not be at home in our body, is the very reason we've been avoiding coming back to it.

The body remembers.

It remembers every piece of information your mind has been trying to forget.

The uncomfortable childhood
The schoolyard bullying
The fighting parents

Whatever it was, your body holds all your memories.

Often when we were little, we didn't know how or have the safe space to process/move emotion through that upset us, and so we coped the best way we could.

And sometimes that means shutting down to avoid the pain that a situation may have caused.

It could've been seemingly so small, such as grazing our knee and Mum wasn't immediately there to soothe us.

Coming back home to yourself might mean feeling the very thing you didn't know how to.

It means moving that energy through the body so that it can transform into something new.

Sometimes we need to learn what it is to feel.

We need to slowly build ourselves to feel in baby steps.
Steps that feel available.
Manageable.
Before we can really release the whole experience and story from our physical, emotional & energetic bodies.

We're all different in our availability and capacity to feel and shift energy.
It starts with allowing ourselves the safe space to feel, to allow energy to flow.

How is your relationship with your feelings and emotions?

Do they flow easily and freely or feel a bit stuck and stagnant?

If they're the later, perhaps there's a need for safety and an opportunity to explore a shift in internal patterning?

Curious to explore what is alive and ready to move?

Why most WON'T do Yin Yoga (or Yin Practices).

Our brains are wired for pleasure.

We'll chase hit after hit to make us feels good.

Dopamine. Caffeine. HIIT. Adrenaline Activities. Taking action towards a Goal. Running. Social Media. Swiping. Dating. Short term visions. Being Busy.

We're constantly chasing the next hit.

What happens when we stop chasing that hit?

Withdrawal. Anxiety. Discomfort. Fear. Judgment. Shortness of Breath. Insecurity. Boredom. Aloneness.

Feeling the '💩' we didn't know we were avoiding.

Welcoming in our Yin Era, embracing our inner feminine, learning to receive & be pleasure without seeking are the gifts that Yin practices bring.

But before that, there's the 'feeling of the stuff' that's in the way of the gifts.

And most humans WON'T choose this.

They'll choose to ride the dopamine waves, to chase the next high, to live solely from their inner masculine, their ego mind.

Yin practices offer a recalibration, a re-wiring of giving/receiving, an invitation to experience your rich inner world, true innate pleasure & presence, and a new awareness of the things that distract. Allowing a more conscious choosing of creating a meaningful & intentional life.
