Hello lovely Mob and suporters, and Happy New Year. If January feels a bit loud or heavy, you’re not alone. There’s so much pressure flying around to change ourselves, improve ourselves, push harder. We’re not doing that here. Mobilates is a place to come exactly as you are, wobbly, tired, low-spoon, hopeful, all of it. This year (and every year) we’re choosing nurturing, body love, gentle safe movement, and a community that reminds you you’re already enough.

December can be … a lot. Even if you love twinkly lights, cosy socks, the smell of cinnamon, and being covered in wrapping paper and sellotape, this time of year can be overwhelming.

That’s where Ants and Elephants and The Saturday Ant Mob come in.  They are Zoom opportunities for a little bit of accountability, motivation and cheerleading for life tasks.

I used to think that getting well was about being less lazy. Pushing through the pain and fatigue, ignoring what my body was saying, powering on despite how ill I was feeling. Then my body sat me down in my early twenties and said (it actually screamed at me!) absolutely not.

When illness forces us to pause, community keeps us moving. Mobilates founder Leanne shares an honest reflection on loss, purpose, and the power of rest and why Mobilates was built to last beyond one person.

Our wonderful Leanne recently shared a post, which I think will resonate with too many of us. She asked us to record short videos about times we’d been dismissed or mistreated by medical professionals. The response was overwhelming, because, sadly, so many of us have a story, usually multiple stories.
