Summer Stillness: Self Care That Moves With You

British summer can be a little unpredictable. One week it’s blazing sun, the next it’s drizzle and moody skies. Even in the warmth, you might find yourself feeling off balance. You’re not imagining it. The shifts in light, pressure and pace all affect how we feel in our bodies. That low mood, the fatigue, the sudden craving to retreat? Sometimes it’s your nervous system asking for a moment to land.
