You know what- we women are amazing. All of us. Sometimes we forget our own power- how incredibly powerful we are. I think sometimes doubt and fear just gets in our way of our amazing-ness. I really was planning to be away from this space for a while as I recovered- and maybe I still will, but right now (8 hours after surgery) I am feeling so incredibly empowered. I did it! I’m so proud of myself! How I handled today and my anxiety (we won’t mention the two weeks leading up, though, ok…?!) and how a yogic lifestyle can only enhance our lives. The nurse literally just said to me ‘oh Jade, you are so healthy’ (HA- I said, the irony- literally laying on my back in a hospital bed!) because I asked her about wanting a herbal tea and the hospital only serves (black- caffeinated tea.) lesson learnt- pack your own tea bags 😉 But this practice we are collectively here for- adapts with you, with your daily experiences, with your LIFE. Yoga, it adapts for you, and with you. It’s in the way I’ve had immensely insane gratitude for the medical staff for their skills and the nurses who show nothing but care as they empty my catheter. It’s the way I told the lady delivering my dinner that the red lipstick she was wearing brightened up my room. It’s the non-judgmental attitude I remind myself of as others also navigate a hospital stay with me. It’s full-hearted, EXPANSIVE LOVE that I have for my husband (whom just spoon fed me…), my girls, my family, for everyone who has taken the time to think of me or message me. It’s the breathing techniques I’ve used to get through the stress and anxiety. It’s the prayer and meditation I’ve used to navigate really rough days. It’s the physical yoga (literal ankle circles right now because that’s all I can do from my back- but right now, in this moment- this is enough) Do the practice. Commit to yourself. You are amazing. And don’t you forget it x

A little life update from me, please watch as it has implications for you here in the The Whole You... Due to surgery I will not be offering any live-streamed classes or new offerings during the months of June and July 2026. The membership will still remain open and active for you to access pre-recored classes and content, however I will be offline for June and July as I rest and recover. I will still be live-streaming and recording as many classes as I can for you during April and May. Thank you for your understanding and as always, for being here. Love Jade x
