This week’s video is a 10-minute body massage using a tennis ball. Simple, right? But it works wonders. Just grab a tennis ball (or something similar) and follow along with the video. I’ll guide you through the areas that could use a little extra attention—like your shoulders, back, and anywhere else that’s holding onto tension. It’s quick…

Guess what? I’ve been quietly working on something that feels a bit tender to say out loud:I’m writing a book! It’s called Yoga for Tired People. Same name as this space—but the book is becoming its own thing. It’s not a how-to. More like a soft collection of stories and reflections from the edges of burnout,and the slow, quiet ways I’ve been finding my way through. As someone who’s dyslexic, this feels like kind of a big deal. It probably won’t be very long (because I get tired too).

Hi Tired Yogi,Here’s a 5-minute midday low back stretch—nothing intense, just a bit of gentle movement for that slumpy, mid-afternoon feeling. The kind where you've been at your laptop too long and your spine's quietly filing a complaint. It’s short, low-effort, and might be just the thing your body’s been asking for. I’m just back from a silent retreat at Samye Ling, which was... lovely. Intense but lovely. Equal parts peaceful and mildly disorientating.

Hi Tired Yogi,I just went live with a 5-minute affirmation meditation—something super simple you can do in bed, on the sofa, or while hiding from your to-do list. (Full disclosure: I made it because I was avoiding packing for the silent retreat I’m off to this weekend at Samye Ling. I’ve packed nothing. Not even a sock. But I have done a live meditation. So priorities.)Affirmation meditation is really gentle.

Hey you,If you’re here because of that neck stretch—hi, welcome, and yes, it really does feel like magic, doesn’t it? But I promise it’s not. I made a video to explain what’s actually happening—because as brilliant as it feels, it’s not a fix-all. And I get a bit twitchy when things go viral without the “why” attached.

Hey Tired Yogi,So, this one’s short, sweet, and a tiny bit spicy—it’s called Stop, Drop & Core, and it’s designed to fit into the time it takes for an advert break. We’re talking 5 minutes, no mat needed, just you and your core waking up a little while the kettle boils or your show buffers (again). It’s quick, it’s doable, and it might even make you feel…

Hey hey,Guess what? The March Playlist Joy is officially ready for your ears—and this one? It’s a vibe. Curated by the glorious humans inside Yoga for Tired People, it’s got a little bit of everything: soft, silly, feel-good, and the kind of songs that make you go “wait... why is this making me emotional in Tesco?”🎶 Put it on while you dance, nap, clean the kitchen, or dramatically stare out the window pretending you’re in a music video. You know. The usual.

Hey Tired Yogi,I spent the weekend in London with my mam—we went to see Cabaret (it was incredible, by the way—intense and gorgeous and one of those shows that lingers in your chest afterward). We walked so much, and between all the wandering and the car ride home, my legs were feeling... let’s just say: not thrilled with me. 😅So this morning, I stayed…
