Thank you for coming to work with the body.

Thank you for trusting me.

Most importantly thank you for trusting yourself.

Any work we do on, with or in relation to the body - from the gentlest meditation to the deepest physical activity - will have an impact on us.

We may feel it strongly or hardly at all, but ‘the work’ continues after ‘the session’ has ended.

Think of the muscle fatigue you might experience after strong exercise, or the way you feel as you emerge from a meditation, or what happens to your system after being in nature, or your perception of a situation after having a good cry.

In the hours, days and weeks that follow, it is important to support yourself well.
