There are just sooo many to choose from! The ones grouped 'take from bed' or one that comes to mind is Biiig stretch! The best stretch ones for me are those that leave me a little light headed!

I am a competent bad b! Two weeks until my PhD exam. My brain will not rest! These classes save me! I have somehow overloaded my hips lately so just removed the weights for the single standing leg parts! I had an imaginary weight and that felt enough! I am so focused right now that no feelings came up for me, apart from the comforting thought that my weight will always be 8kg, and I was left wondering whether that was 15 pounds! The rows felt good on my weak left shoulder, and I thought about how much my body has healed and got stronger over the last 1.5 years thanks to RPS.

I also have tension in my jaw! I even have a little jaw muscle knot on the left. I wonder if this is connected to my twisted pelvis and general tightness in my left hip! 😂

Definitely good for my nervous system! I've been pacing around with anxiety and this really grounded me. I enjoyed the ambient music and slow controlled movement, I was really focused on each lift.

Tapping in for the Sunday walk! Just walking back from the theatre. I set up my first screening for the film club here. It was The seeds of Vandana Shiva. Great documentary! She's an Indian environmental activist and definitely NOT a demagogue (learnt a new word! 😂) and NO to BT cotton and monocropping! I loved learning about the seed banks (over 100) in India. I only knew of one in Svalbard.

I was going to say this felt like a shake then realised it was! I liked that i challenged myself with the weights and also had an emotional release! I am full of anxious energy right now! Ths class definitely got some of that out! I also liked the contemporary dance feel to the flow and the balancing and the freestyle!

This class reminds my hip flexors that they used to be strong! Lifting the foot over the block is one of my favourites. I like the "no hands" exercises too! Feeling very satisfied!

So nice to do this class after a sauna! I embraced the awkwardness of my movement at the start and felt the flow by the end. And I practiced a yoga style headstand at the end, I've been doing them a lot lately and feeling clear in my head afterwards.

Tapping in for upper body glide from my travels in Oslo. The Vigeland park is just incredible. Sculptures say so much! I feel extra happy when I can take RPS with me wherever I go. I was just walking through streets, listening to a podcast that was basically everything Ruth says through RPS with Dr Stacy Sims.

It's incredible how much work this class is! My shoulders feel so much stronger and revitalized, I love the combined stretch and strength moves. Essentially what the theme is this week! Such thoughtful movement as always!
