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! |

There are two fundamental skills I believe everyone should develop as early as possible: emotional regulation and body awareness. Most people get why emotional regulation matters. It's the ability to recognise an emotion arriving, identify it precisely (sometimes anger is actually fear, or a subtler feeling like injustice), and pause before responding... so you can respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. But body awareness's trickier. You might be thinking: "Of course I know when I'm in...
It's not a secret that I've been dealing with anxiety for a long, long time. I often feel like my brain is working against me, telling me that I don't do enough, that I could do more, and that whatever I do, I better do perfectly (or else). I'm dealing with that much better than I used to, but I'm also aware this is something I will have to deal with forever. Still, I'm always looking for ways to make sure the anxiety doesn't take too much space. Which led me to the realisation that I had...
"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...
