January doesn’t need another detox, diet, or demand to improve yourself.

It needs light.

Light on the face.

Movement in the body.

Breath in the chest.

A softer attitude towards yourself — and maybe a bit more joy.

Lighten Up is about restoring natural radiance — in the body, the tissues, the mood, and the way you meet life — especially in darker seasons.

Using fascial movement, release, rhythm, and gentle strength, we work with both the physical and psychological weight that tends to accumulate in winter.

As the body softens and movement becomes freer, something else shifts too: energy returns, mood lifts, and joy becomes more accessible.

This isn’t about bypassing difficulty. It’s about finding light within it.

What this course is (and isn’t)

This is not:

• a detox or cleanse

• a weight-loss programme

• a strict routine you have to keep up with

It is:

• daily movement to wake up the body

• breath and meditation to set the tone for the day

• strength without rigidity

• joy, humour, and lightness of being

• a return to what actually supports you

How it works

For six weeks, you’ll be guided through a simple daily practice and weekly sessions designed to bring in light, movement, and ease.

Daily (about 30 minutes)

• Mobility, primal movement and somatics 

• Breathwork

• Short meditation or intention

This practice is there to meet you where you are, not push you beyond your limits.

Weekly

• One somatic dance session to shake off tension, heaviness, and stuck energy

• Ongoing guidance and themes to support integration and reflection

The 21-Day Horse Stance Challenge

In the first part of the course, we’ll also explore a 21-day Horse Stance challenge, inspired by the energy of the Year of the Horse — freedom, strength, momentum, and forward movement.

• Start gently

• Build gradually towards holding for 5 minutes (or longer if you wish)

• Incorporates spirals and micro-movement so the body stays fluid, not rigid

This is about grounded strength, presence, and learning how to stay — without forcing.

What you may notice

Participants often describe feeling:

• more at home in their body

• lighter in mood and energy

• stronger without being tense

• clearer, calmer, and more spacious

• more connected to movement as pleasure, not obligation

There are no promises of transformation — just an invitation to begin the year differently.

You can join the course by signing up here

We will begin with a gentle Sunday afternoon session on 4th January to introduce the course and join together as a group. As with all the classes, if you can’t make it live, you just catch up when you can, as you’ll receive a playlist of all the classes when it starts.

Which means you can fit it into your lifestyle whenever it works for you.

⸻

Is this for you?

This course is for you if:

• January feels heavy rather than motivating

• you want to move and feel better without dieting or extremes

• you’re curious about embodied practice, not just mindset work

• you want a reset that feels supportive, not demanding

You don’t need any particular level of fitness or experience — just a willingness to show up as you are.

Does this sound like something that’s going to benefit you this month?
