“Life is the flower for which love is the honey.”

Victor Hugo

Honey is a sweet, golden, healing amrita that bees produce from the nectar of flowers. Honey is packed with healthy, nutritious minerals & goodness that helps our bodies function more optimally. Another vital nectar to help our body function with fluidity & ease is called synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid is a viscous found within the cavities of joints in your body. The principle roll of this fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage & synovial fluid during movement. We know the entire skeletal body floats within a protective fluid. This very important fluid acts like a cushion at the end of your bones making mobility, smooth & easeful.

However, as we age, hormonal changes, lifestyle choices, lack of hydration & many other factors, synovial fluid can become lessened, this can lead towards a range of concerns, from joint pain, inflammation, swelling, redness, loss of function, & mobility…Left unattended deeper problems may manifest such as: joint & cartilage  break-down, osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, joint effusion & degeneration.

The good news is, your mobility can feel like a warming, honey nectar again. After a certain age, many people have forgotten how great their body can feel.

Synovial fluid and therefore, the quality of your movement in every day life can improve. Dietary changes like introducing more omega-3 fatty acids found in: salmon, trout, mackerel, flaxseeds,  walnuts, curcumin, a compound found in turmeric and high anti-oxidant foods like: garlic, onions, green tea, berries, healthy fats like avocados & olive oil. Remaining hydrated, especially before bed when your body is repairing & regenerating. Avoiding excess salts & sugars. And maintaining a healthy body weight so not to exasperate joints & bones any further is crucial.
Extremely important is movement: yoga, walking, somatic movements, dance, swimming, strength training, shifting your range of movement across all plains of the body.
Yoga is key to healthy synovial fluid and mobility because it is one of, if not ‘THE ONE’ form of movement which incorporates body, mind & breath (the healing ambrosia of them all!) to every move. Breath (during practice & movement is key – the missing key)
Wendy is extremely skilful & particular in how she encourages her students to move with this quality & harmonious remembrance, awareness – a life-skill that takes practice. 
Overall, mobility health can significantly improve joint’s fluids lubricating & cushioning properties. During this workshop we will move slow & mindful with great alignment, coupled with breathwork and intelligent sequencing to open your body well, releasing tension, encouraging flow. Open to all levels, yoga meeting your body in the perfect place for you. We encourage you to join Wendy & re-remember you too can have honey-hips again.
