The Garuda Chakra/Foam roller facilitates deeper stretches and more effective muscle engagement, helping to release tension and improve overall flexibility.

The movements are designed to open up the body, creating space in the joints and muscles, which enhances mobility and posture.

Strengthening exercises incorporated in these sessions help build core stability and muscular endurance. Lengthening techniques promote muscle elongation, contributing to a leaner and more toned physique.

Hip and ankle mobility are crucial for optimal movement and overall well-being.
The hips, comprising 15 muscles, are central to the body’s movement, supporting activities like walking, running, and stabilising the pelvis.

Similarly, the ankle joint, surrounded by numerous bones and muscles, plays a vital role in weight-bearing and balancing the body during various movements.

Enhanced mobility in these areas promotes improved strength, reduces the risk of injury, and allows for a broader range of motion, leading to more effective and rewarding workouts.

Through dynamic exercises like those offered by Garuda, individuals can unlock greater mobility, empowering them to move more freely and easily perform daily activities.

We have a range of courses throughout June, July and August where you can discover the Garuda Way - DM me for more information

Your back is not just a structure; it’s your throne, your seat of power and stability.

Embrace its strength, honour its resilience, and let it support you as you navigate through life’s challenges.

With a strong and empowered back, you can rise tall and face the world with confidence and grace.

I’m launching something exciting soon, are you ready?

Move by embracing the interplay between your body and the space around you.

Each surface becomes a canvas, sculpting your form and guiding your function.

As you lean into these spaces, you unearth hidden reservoirs of strength. It’s in this lean, this surrender, that you discover the capacity to rise, grow, and lift yourself to new heights.

Where is your favourite space to move your body?

Let’s take the time to embrace Natural Progress

In the journey of movement, it’s essential not to stop and over-correct. Instead, use gentle cues to guide the process.
Allow clients to discover their own internal rhythm. Trust that it will come naturally, fostering a deeper connection and flow.

By encouraging clients to find their own way, we empower them to tune into their bodies and embrace the organic progression of their practice. This approach nurtures confidence, self-awareness, and a more intuitive movement experience.

Let the rhythm unfold naturally, and watch as clients move with grace and ease.

Join me for 1:1 Teacher Trainings, and let’s enhance and refine your teaching sessions together.

I have the best clients and I don’t know what I’d do without them

Everything starts from the hands or feet. You spiral through the motion of the body. Coil through the body. Coil and recoil.

Every movement begins with a simple touch, a step, a spiral of energy flowing through the body.

We coil and recoil, spiralling through the intricate motions of life.

It’s in these subtle spirals that we find the essence of movement, a dance of energy connecting hands to feet and body to soul.

Garuda isn’t just about performance - it’s an art form.

Each movement is a brushstroke, weaving together strength, flexibility, and mindfulness to create a masterpiece of expression. It’s not about putting on a show; it’s about delving deep into the essence of movement, exploring the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit.

In Garuda, we sculpt our bodies with intention, grace, and fluidity, allowing our practice to become a canvas upon which we paint our journey of self-discovery and transformation.

I don’t teach perfection. I teach movement.

In my practice, I’ve learned that perfection is an illusion - an unattainable (and boring) standard that only serves to create stress and frustration. Instead, I focus on teaching movement in its purest form. Movement is fluid, dynamic, and ever-changing. It’s about exploring the capabilities of our bodies, embracing our strengths, and learning from our limitations.

Through movement, we cultivate resilience, adaptability, and a deep sense of connection with ourselves. So, I don’t teach perfection; I teach the beauty of movement - the journey of self-discovery, growth, and empowerment.

I have a few spots left for 1:1 - available for anyone wanting to try Garuda or Teacher Trainings where I show you how to incorporate Garuda into your sessions

                                   

22/04/2024

Feeling incredibly grateful and lucky for my amazing clients. Each one brings so much inspiration, dedication, and joy to every session. It’s a privilege to be a part of their journey toward wellness and transformation ✨

One of my favourite phrases is “Truth is in the movement”

In the language of movement, truth reveals itself. Each gesture, movement and the quiet moments in between movements holds a story of its own, guiding us towards a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

We guide our clients to embrace the flow of movement, where the flow of motion reveals deep insights. With each step and stretch, they uncover the essence of their journey toward self-discovery and transformation.

Movement for the body is like reading for your brain...Movement will allow you to explore, learn and eventually change.

Have you ever heard that trauma is stored in our tissue?

This is why specific exercise is so good for your well-being.

What sets Garuda apart from any other workout method, is that it not only is a functional and fascial workout: but it allows you to rewire your nervous system, work through your conditioning and evolve out of the generational trauma that has been laid down before you.

It’s strengthening, fun and healing.
If you bring intention, attention, awareness and consistency into your practice, you will see amazing results.

Our inquiry principle.

As we delve deep into the intricacies of our body and mind through movement, we uncover hidden strengths and unlock new possibilities. We work with our clients on a journey of self-discovery and exploration, where each movement is a step towards greater understanding and growth.

Does this resonate with you?

                           

22/03/2024

Embrace the fluidity and grace of movement. Release attachment to choreography. Change is inevitable, and it leads to growth.

Attention is the currency of transformation ✨

In the Garuda method, every movement is an opportunity to cultivate presence and awareness. We embrace each moment with focused attention and watch as your practice unfolds with grace and intention.

We recognise that each moment holds the potential for growth and self-discovery.

In our practice, we don’t simply go through the motions; we infuse each movement with intention and purpose.

As we embrace each moment with mindful attention, we witness the magic unfold—the gradual unfolding of our practice, with each movement becoming a testament to our dedication and commitment. With grace and intention, we navigate the dance of transformation, knowing that every step brings us closer to our true selves.

Does this resonate with you?

If I could communicate solely through movement, I would tell stories with every gesture and step.

Movement is my language, my expression of joy, sorrow, and everything in between. It’s the rhythm of my soul, speaking volumes without uttering a single word.

The body never lies, and how someone moves says a lot about them.

How are you moving today? Is the movement flowing or are you feeling tense? Don’t ignore the subtle cues from your body, listen and inquire.

           

12/03/2024

At the core of Garuda lies intention - a guiding force infusing every movement with mindfulness and purpose.

It’s a journey of self-discovery, where each exercise becomes an exploration of mind, body, and spirit.

Before every practice we set clear objectives - whether to enhance strength, flexibility, or inner confidence - this deepens our practice and fosters personal growth.

Intention extends beyond the physical, becoming a powerful tool for self-awareness.

By listening to our bodies, celebrating strengths, and learning to move through our limitations, we cultivate presence and intentionality in our lives, unlocking our true potential with every breath and movement.

Does this resonate with you?

                                     

11/03/2024

Why do I stretch?

It’s not just about flexibility— it’s a daily ritual of self-care and connection. 💫

From releasing tension to boosting circulation, each stretch nurtures my body’s resilience and vitality.

In my programs and classes, I weave in stretch and flow seamlessly, inviting my clients to embrace the power of movement for a healthier, happier life!

If you want to work with me, pop me a DM and we can have a chat 🫶🏻
