5 Minutes of Super Cozy Bed Yoga

Day 2 - Relaxation Reset

Day 2 already! I’m so glad you’re here. It’s easy to sign up for something like this and then forget it exists (been there)—so the fact that you’ve come back for another round is brilliant. I hope yesterday’s practice gave you something—space, steadiness, or even just a slightly deeper breath. Today’s audio is another short one—just a few minutes to land, listen, and let the day shift a little. And if you tried today’s practice and want to share how it felt, I’d love to hear.The comments are open, and it’s so lovely to see what resonates (or doesn’t!). No need to overthink it—just a little note if you feel like joining the conversation. See you tomorrow,Jo x This is a public episode.

Day 1 - Relaxation Reset

We’re off. Day 1 of the Relaxation Reset! Each day this week I’ll send you a short audio practice. Just a few minutes to pause and hear something a bit different from the usual noise in your head. You don’t need a mat or any kit, just yourself and a bit of quiet. We’re exploring affirmation meditation this week. It’s been around in different forms for thousands of years, really. Mantra, chant, prayer, lullaby, spell. Simple words repeated with care, words that help steady the mind and shape how you move through the day. Today’s audio is about 7 minutes long. Do it wherever you are, in bed, on the sofa, in between things. Just press play and listen. If you try it, I’d love to hear how you got on. How did it feel? Did your brain wander off somewhere? The comments are open, and it genuinely makes a difference when people share. It reminds the rest of us we’re not doing this alone. More tomorrow. For now, this is plenty. Big love,Jo x This is a public episode.

A 10 Minute Mini Retreat Relaxation - Let's go to Greece!

Hey, I’m back from our retreat at Vericoco, Kefalonia Greece, and of course it’s raining here in the UK. We had such a wonderful time, laughing, relaxing, making new friends and taking time to step away from the world and be. So I thought it would be lovely to take a little slice of that so we can visit it any time. I really wish I could have packed you all into my suitcase so we could all have gone, but this is the next best thing. Sending lots of love and I hope you enjoy! Jo xx This is a public episode.

Hand Strengthening Exercises

Did you know that our grip strength is one of the most reliable predictors of how long and how well you’ll live? Research consistently links stronger grip to lower all-cause mortality — it’s one of the simplest measures of overall health we have. And the good news? You can work on it from your sofa with a tennis ball. This short hand strengthening class takes you through a series of ball squeezes, pinch grips across every finger, and some gentle rolling and throwing work for dexterity. Grab a squishy ball if you’ve got one, a tennis ball if not, and let’s get to it. Please note: this is a general strengthening class. If you’re managing any pain or a flare-up in your hands, check with your healthcare provider before starting. This is a public episode.
