Each practice in this series is an invitation to slow down, create space and reconnect with the wisdom of your body.

What if not sticking to the plan was actually the lesson? My journey to becoming a Trauma-Informed Somatic Yoga Teacher took longer than expected, but in many ways that was the practice itself. This blog is a reflection on slowing down, listening to what life asks of us, and why choosing alignment over hustle is more than a motto—it's a way of living.

In this conversation, Rosannah shares her knowledge of menstrual cycle awareness, exploring how understanding the different phases of your cycle can help you cultivate greater self-awareness, self-compassion and confidence. We also talk about some of the myths and stigma that still surround menstruation, and how reconnecting with our cycles can be a powerful step towards reclaiming our wellbeing, creativity and sense of self.

The purpose of this practice is to give you space to pause and reassess your relationship with exercise. Catarina will guide you to step out of the cycle of burnout and instead move towards a kinder, more sustainable rhythm with movement. Her aim is to demystify some of the common messages from the fitness industry and offer simple, practical tools that leave you feeling supported and empowered to begin building a consistent, compassionate approach to exercise. There’s a workbook to download inside too.
