Coming back to yourself

Coming Back to Yourself

A gentle, steady online practice — coming soon

​

Gentle, thoughtful yoga for people who find rest difficult, unfamiliar, or hard to prioritise.

This online course is being created for people who are tired of pushing — and ready for something steadier.

​

No pressure.
No rush.
No performance.

 

Just clear guidance, gentle movement, and practices you can return to whenever you need.

This course is for you if

​

  • You feel tired, worn down, or constantly “on”

  • You struggle to truly rest, even when you stop

  • Stillness feels uncomfortable or restless

  • You want gentle yoga, not a workout

  • You prefer calm, thoughtful guidance over hype

  • Once-a-week (or once-in-a-while) practice is realistic for your life

 

You do not need:

  • flexibility

  • yoga experience

  • lots of time

  • the “right” mindset

 

You’re welcome exactly as you are.

​​

Coming Back to Yourself is a self-paced online course that gently teaches the body how to settle, rest, and feel steadier over time.

​

It’s not about doing more.


It’s about learning how to arrive.

Short, clear teaching videos

  • Calm explanations you can actually understand

  • Why rest can feel hard

  • Why slowing down takes practice

  • How to move and pause without forcing anything

 

Each teaching video is 5–20 minutes — focused and easy to return to, or build upon for longer sessions.

​

Weather you needing a reset, or woke up with a sore back or 5min to yourself..the options are endless

Step-by-step guided practices

  • Gentle yoga practices with short to longer options available

  • Clear, unhurried guidance

  • Options always offered

  • No peak poses or pressure

 

Practices include:

  • Arriving and settling

  • Choice-based movement

  • Breath awareness without force

  • Slow flow and supported rest

  • Short daily resets you can use anytime

Downloadable booklets

  • Each module includes a simple PDF booklet, designed to support learning without overwhelm.

  • Booklets include:

  • Key ideas in plain language

  • Gentle reminders (not instructions)

  • Reflection prompts (optional)

  • Suggestions for repeating practices

  • These are not workbooks.
    They’re something to keep, not complete.

Knowledge you can return to

This course helps you understand

​

  • why your body responds the way it does

  • why “just relaxing” doesn’t always work

  • how steadiness is built gradually

  • what the benefits of each pose is having on your body and mind

  • how all of our bodies are different, but each movement is still perfect for you

  • slow, steady, correct form and integrated movement and breathe

 

No jargon.
No diagnosing.
Just practical understanding.

A pace that respects real life

  • Watch one module a week — or slower

  • Repeat practices as often as you like

  • Pause, skip, or return anytime

 

There is no finish line.

​

Come back to it, or use it whenever you need.

​

Daily, weekly, on commutes, when you wake up, lunchtimes, before bed, wherever you go!

How this is different

This is not:

  • performance yoga

  • fast-paced flow

  • motivational wellness

  • a “fix yourself” programme

  • bound by class times

 

This is:

  • respectful of tired bodies

  • designed for people who’ve lived

  • grounded in real teaching experience

  • calm enough to actually help

  • ready whenever and however you are
