The Notion of Motion
Welcome to My World of Movement Musings
A space for the whimsical and wondrous thoughts and feelings in the world of flexibility.
This is where I spill all the extra thoughts that don’t quite fit into an Instagram caption — the musings, the curiosities, the behind‑the‑scenes moments, and the gentle revelations that come from a life spent bending, teaching, performing, and exploring the bewitching world of flexibility.
Here you’ll find reflections on performing, insights from my own movement journey, thoughts on coaching styles, and all the little wonders that appear when you pay close attention to the body.
Whether you’re a performer, an instructor, a passionate hobbyist, or simply a curious mover, this blog is your sanctuary. I’ll be sharing expert guidance, behind‑the‑scenes secrets, and stories from my path as a flexibility coach — all designed to spark your imagination, deepen your practice, and celebrate the spellbinding power of movement.
The Craft of Coaching: More Than Just Passing On a Skill
Coaching is so much more than demonstrating a move. Behind every class is emotional labour, problem‑solving, creativity, and a deep commitment to understanding the body and the person in front of you.
The Light‑Touch Coaching Method:
I’m a light‑touch coach because I believe your body learns best when it leads the way. My hands are there to guide, not to take over. I want you to build the strength, awareness, and confidence to support yourself, so you can practice safely and effectively even when I’m not beside you. Every coach has their own style, and this is mine: gentle cues, soft contact, and a deep respect for your body’s ability to do the real work.
Fierce, Flexy & Fifty!
You are not too old. You are not too late. Your body is not done learning.
You can still create new shapes, new strength, new softness.
Your age is not your limit — your belief is.

How often should I stretch for the splits?
When we realise how much value the splits adds to our skill set, we are more likely to achieve our goals. This is because we prioritise our practice, stay focused & stick to training plans. Achieving the splits takes time and consistent practice, therefore we have to be in it for the process, not just the result!..
