Sometimes your gut is simply wrong...

Should you always follow your intuition? Not so fast. We often hear: "Listen to your body, trust yourself, follow your intuition." And it sounds beautiful... in theory. But what if our internal compass is off? What if, after years of chasing our careers, managing our families, and accumulating stress and anxiety, we no longer know what’s truly good for us? It’s like those intuitive eating tips: "Eat when your body asks for it." Great! But what if our body has lost its bearings? If our intuition just tells us to eat all the time, is it really a good idea to follow it blindly? The truth is, many of us have spent years in our heads: overthinking, worrying, responding to others' needs. And this is where yoga is an invaluable tool. Because on the mat, we learn to listen again. To test, explore, feel. To distinguish what nourishes us from what drains us. Gradually, this ability seeps into our everyday lives. And one day, we just know. We know whether we need to move or to rest. We know what truly makes us feel good. And, finally, we can follow our intuition. An intuition realigned with what we genuinely need. It sounds simple, and it can be once you know what to do and have the right support. That's precisely why I created the "Body & Mind Reset" program. To help those who feel disconnected from their bodies and intuition. Over the course of 3 months, I guide you in calming your mind and rebuilding this essential connection with your body. With a balanced blend of yoga, mindfulness practices, and self-care routines, this program will support you step-by-step in finding your center, regaining confidence in your feelings, and finally listening to that inner voice with clarity. If any of this resonates with you and you’d like to learn more, just reply to this email with "INFO", and I’ll send you all the details! Om, peace 🧡 Clem PS: If you have any questions or would like to discuss if I could help you, you can reply to this email or write to me on WhatsApp. Even if you're not ready to sign up to work with me, I'm always happy to help! |

When someone gets a herniated/slipped disc diagnosis, the instinct is almost always to stop moving, be careful and wait for it to pass. I get it, the last thing we want is to make it worse. But it's also exactly what we shouldn't do. When the balance in a region of the spine is disrupted, the surrounding muscles compensate. They have to work harder, so they fatigue and become irritated. But also, your nervous system is on high alert. The whole area has become flagged as a threat. And if we...
A few weeks ago, I talked about persistent pain that doesn't seem to have a clear explanation. The tests that show nothing, the doctors who sound increasingly skeptical... and us, wondering if we are not getting mad? There's something else I'd like you to know about that. We now know that pain isn't a direct readout of damage in our body, but a decision our brain makes. Your brain is constantly gathering information. The state of your tissues, yes, but also your emotional state, your sense of...
I was recently asked this very astute question. Why astute? Because the answer is fairly counter-intuitive, which allows me to dispell a very common myth. The short answer is: not really... It's necessary to stretch to become more flexible, but in order to see real progress, it's a little more complicated than that. And that's because flexibility isn't primarily a muscle issue, but a nervous system issue. "Again with her bloody nervous system??" Hey! Don't shoot the messenger! According to a...
