The cold has arrived across Scotland and England, and it’s tempting to slow down and stay indoors. But this is exactly when our Mushin practice becomes essential.
Stay warm. Stay moving. Stay mindful.
Cold weather shouldn’t stop us getting fresh air. It just means wrapping up properly, layering well, and keeping the core warm. A warm body moves better, breathes better, and stays healthier.
If you’re feeling a bit fluey or run down, simply adjust, don’t stop.
Lighten the pace, shorten the sessions, and focus on gentle mobility. Keeping the joints moving and the blood flowing is one of the best things you can do in colder weather.
And remember the importance of your Morning Mushin.
Just a few minutes of gentle flow, breath work, and mobility when you wake up can completely change the tone of your day. It warms the body from the inside out and brings clarity before the world gets loud.
As we head into the weekend:
• Wrap up before you head out
• Keep the body warm
• Keep the joints moving
• Breathe deeply
• Adjust the intensity when needed, but don’t switch off
Cold weather doesn’t have to slow us down. It simply invites us to be more aware of how we move.
Stay warm, stay well, and keep Mushin at the heart of everything you do. ❄️🧘♀️✨
