Your posture keeps the score

Somatics (in the tradition of Thomas Hanna) teaches you how your posture is an expression of your nervous system and gives you a doorway into understanding how stress and anxiety affects you, not only mentally and emotionally, but physically too. Our nervous system is constantly stimulated as it filters our senses, through what we see, hear, and feel. If those senses are stressful or fearful, the fight, flight and freeze responses are triggered. If triggered continually these responses become habituated, physically changing our posture. Thomas Hanna codified these responses into the Red and Green Light reflex patterns. He created movements and techniques to release out of each reflex, so the starting point is to learn to sense these reflex patters in yourself. The Red Light Pattern When we experience ongoing worry and anxiety the…

Weights vs Cardio

CARDIO, SHORT FOR cardiovascular, training is where you’re predominantly using your own bodyweight and doing something repetitive, such as running, dancing or swimming, which gets your heart pumping. ‘Any type of exercise or fitness class where you’re moving, breathing hard and your heart rate increases, is almost certainly a cardio classic,’ says Tony Goldingay from fitness company Sweatband (sweatband.com). ‘Aerobic exercise relies almost exclusively on oxygen to power you, and it can be sustained over a longish period of time,’ he adds. The opposite of aerobic exercise is anaerobic, where you do short, sharp movements such as weights or a sprint for 10 seconds. ‘Weight training is an anaerobic form of exercise, relying heavily on glucose and requiring less oxygen than its cardiovascular counterpart – but it uses a heck…

Wellbeing TRENDS to try in 2023

1 WORKPLACE WELLBEING For many, workplaces are changing for the better. ‘It’s going to be a big year for workplace wellness in 2023. We’re out the other side of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis is in full force,’ says clinical psychologist Dr Jenna Vyas-Lee, co-founder of koveminds.com. ‘Employees are demanding a better work-life balance, and employers are catching up. I think holistic wellness packages, including looking after people’s finances and mental health, will trend upwards.’ And there’s good news for menopausal women. Once largely ignored, this life stage is now being given the attention it deserves. ‘Employers are looking at the effect of symptoms on work, and the effect of the workplace on symptoms, resulting in the implementation of menopause policies and the appointing of menopause champions,’ says health…

BRIGHT MOOD, BETTER HEALTH

LOOKING AT LIFE WITH a brighter viewpoint is a science-backed tool that can improve your mood, help you meet goals, and improve your health. And you don’t have to overhaul your personality to benefit: Even small differences in your attitude can deliver big payoffs, says Hilary Tindle, MD, the author of Up: How Positive Outlook Can Transform Our Health and Aging. What makes optimism so powerful is that it’s based in realism—it’s not about simply thinking things will be OK. “True optimists are pragmatic, perhaps because they scan the horizon to see what might go wrong and then work and plan around those potential pitfalls so things can go right,” Dr. Tindle says. In other words, optimists proactively work to make the positive happen. In return, they score some major health…
