DefyingLee Fit

You know that feeling when you’re physically done with the day, but your brain is still replaying the conversation, the awkward moment, the thing you wish youd said differently….

So give yourself 6 minutes.

Tea. Yoga mat. 4-7-8 breathing.

Intentional breath work will reset the nervous system, so just breathe until your body gets the message that the day was over.

This is one of the breathwork practices waiting for you inside the Soft Life Studio.

The brain needs something else to focus on, and the breath lets the nervous system remember that the event, situation and conversation are over, so it can feel safe again.

Sometimes I just need to press play on a class, get on my mat, and let myself move without needing to explain what I’m feeling.

This is one of my favorite things about having the Soft Life Studio at home I can meet myself exactly where I am.
Feeling off?
There’s a class for that.
Feeling energized? There’s a class for that too.
Need to breathe, stretch, sweat, soften, or simply be?
Press play. 🩵

And yes… this entire video is just the real sounds of my practice. No music. Just movement, breath, and a little space to come back to yourself.

Growth doesn’t come from just reading and learning something new.

It’s also about releasing old stories, outdated patterns, and identities that no longer fit.

Sometimes that release happens in a conversation.
Sometimes it happens in stillness.

Sometimes your body shows you what your mind has been holding onto.

That’s the work we do inside Soul Sessions.

Not so that you can become someone else, but so that you can remember who you were before survival took over.

✨ If you’re craving deeper transformation, Soul Sessions is where we begin.

The last one really helped!

1. Schedule my practice time.
If I know tomorrow morning won’t work then I best be making time in the afternoon.

Doesn’t matter the length just time to settle into myself and my body

2. I understand that the practice began
on the mat but it didn’t end there.

I now know that l am able to create peace when I’m not on my mat, it’s a practice that I choose to bring into everyday life.

3. If I’m distracted in svasana I stay longer.
If I am resisting stillness or being quiet with my own mind I know it means I need to stay longer.

And eventually I can let go and just be.

You know those poses that can just set you straight again?

This one’s mine! 🧘‍♀️

What about you? What’s your go to?

Taking a slow and steady approach to understanding my body.

Giving my mind a moment to be here.

Letting go of the trivial and getting centered.

The mug says, *”I work hard so my cat can have a great life,”* and honestly... my cat has **zero** concerns. 😂

The contrast between how I’m feeling and how peacefully she’s sleeping in this video makes me laugh.

If your stress levels are high and you’re tempted to spend the evening doom scrolling, come reset with me instead. 🍵✨

Sometimes all it takes is a cozy corner, your favorite mug, and a gentle yoga practice to completely shift the energy of your evening.

Inside the Soft Life Studio, you’ll find a library of classes to help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and create that cozy corner wherever you are. 🤍

Feeling Tired? Overwhelmed? Feeling creatively block? There is a class for you!

Let the body direct you to what is needs and where it needs support.

Choose from intentional strength, nervous system regulation, creativity enhancing movement or choose a journey and build accountability and consistency with our series challenges.

What is your mind and body needing today?

If you don’t have 15 minutes for yourself I think it’s time we fix that!
