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! |

"I don't want to do yoga, I want to start a revolution!" "I don't want to calm down, I want to change everything!" If you don't know her... she's an icon I completely understand the sentiment. The powers that be want us to calm down, to be docile, to accept things as they are, and to let them get on with their dodgy dealings on their own. If we do yoga, aren't we playing right into their hands, really? And why should it be our responsibility to calm ourselves down, when we'd be much calmer if...
Today I want to talk to you about a phenomenon that's happening inside you right now, and that you've probably never heard about. It's called thixotropy. Inside your body right now, your tissues (muscles, tendons, fascia...) are mostly water. And when that water doesn't move, it gets viscous, a bit like honey. But when it moves, it becomes more like water. That's thixotropy. Now I'd like you to think about your typical day: laptop work, car/bus seat, sofa, phone, bed. Let's be honest, if...
You've probably heard "take a deep breath" when you're stressed (and you might even have rolled your eyes). Honestly... fair enough. It sounds like generic wellness advice, and it's hard to see how it could help fixing the issue you're dealing with. The annoying thing is... it actually works. And the science behind it is fascinating (even if you're not a neuroscience nerd like, I promise) Let me explain it, as simply as I can. Your nervous system operates in two modes: Mode 1: Activation...
