WE HOPPED. WE YOGAED. WE MATCHA’D. 🐸🍵
And what a morning it was.

R1SE x Frog at Brook Place was a VERY good idea.
Big energy, good people, lots of matcha.

More of this please 👀 Who’s with us?

“There will never be a good time. Just go for it.”

Bella, Kate, Ashton, Lizzie, Rebecca, Rose, Gaynor and Mariana. 8 different stories, all with the same starting point - if they didn’t do it that year, they worried they never would.

One left a corporate job of twenty years. One had never planned on teaching at all and ended up doing it anyway. One worried she was the wrong age and not fit enough, and found the course was built for exactly that.

That’s the honest thing about teacher training. Nobody arrives certain. The people who end up doing it aren’t the ones who felt ready, they’re the ones who were ready for a change and to follow a passion.

Our September intake closes soon. Blended Monday evenings plus five Sunday workshops with online learning, so it runs alongside daily life.

Everything is on the website, link in bio, or comment below and we’ll get in touch.
Is this your year?

Everyone’s hopping on the matcha trend... so THIS SATURDAY we thought we’d make it official 🐸 🍵

Whether you’re already matcha-obsessed or you’re finally giving it a try, come and grab a cup while you’re here.

The urge to breathe isn’t your body asking for oxygen.

It’s asking you to get rid of carbon dioxide.

There’s a small cluster of neurons in your brainstem that does almost nothing except monitor CO2. When levels rise, it fires, and you feel that build. That tightness. That very insistent suggestion that now would be a good time to inhale.

Your oxygen sensors, meanwhile, sit relatively quiet. They don’t get properly involved until levels drop far lower than most people ever reach voluntarily.

Which means the panic at the end of a breath hold usually isn’t an oxygen emergency. There’s plenty left. It’s an alarm, and the alarm is set conservatively.

The useful part: that threshold isn’t fixed. Trained breath-hold divers show a measurably blunted response to rising CO2. Their alarm goes off later, because it’s been taught to.

And the same system runs in the background of everything else. Stress, sleep, how quickly you settle after hard effort.

So when the urge to breathe arrives, what are you actually responding to?

That’s Summer Nine done - and what a month it’s been!

Nine challenges. Peaks, paddles, an early start, delicious meals and one or two deep breaths. Watching you all get stuck in has genuinely been the best part of our summer, and this reel is barely half of it.

Congratulations to every single person who took it on. Whether you smashed all nine or gave one a go and decided once was plenty - you got out there, and that was always the whole point.

The prizes have all been claimed now. But we’re leaving the challenges up on the brand new R1SE website, so if you never got round to Wild & Still, or you fancy another crack at one, they’re still there whenever you want them.

Thank you for making it what it was - we had so much fun!

So - how many did you actually complete? Explorer, Adventurer, or full Legend?

International Friendship Day deserves a challenge...

We handed Elle & Rosie one mobility challenge and next to zero instructions... 😂

Tag the friend you’d trust (or absolutely wouldn’t trust 👀) to give this a go. Bonus points if you film it next time you’re at R1SE.

Who’s your yoga partner? ⬇️

Right then.
Stop saying you’ll “try Barre one day.”
Today’s the day.

Grab a mate who’s never been to R1SE, book a Barre class, and get yourselves down here.

Their first class? That’s on us.

Tiny movements. Great music. Big smiles. Questionable legs on the walk home - & .workoutwell will be sure of that!

The Barre Bet in the R1SE Summer Nine is waiting for you.
Head to r1se.co.uk/challenges/summer-nine and get it booked.

Go on. We’re waiting. Who’s your Barre buddy?
