Join me online for a monthly half-hour session dedicated to reducing tension in your body and mind. Come and be guided for a 30 minute session to help you release stress, be more embodied and enjoy a calmer nervous system using Constructive Rest.
If you suffer from repetitive strain injury or carpal tunnel syndrome; you have backache or stiff neck and shoulders; you become uncomfortable when sitting at a desk or standing in a queue – then this might be for you.
It’s a time to pause, reconnect with your body, choose empowering thoughts, and allow your body to rest and repair.
I’ve witnessed the transformative benefits of Constructive Rest for thousands of people, and I invite you to experience it for yourself in a warm and welcoming environment. You’re in safe hands here, and I’m excited to support you on your journey to greater well-being.
My monthly live online half-hour sessions are accessible to people in various time zones and with diverse schedules. These sessions are suitable for everyone, regardless of experience level:
Trained in the Alexander Technique since 2003, Lucy Ascham specialises in a personalised approach to stress relief and well-being. Her practice, enriched with a trauma-informed perspective, focuses on embodied movements, posture improvement, and self-care techniques. Lucy champions Constructive Rest, a daily practice that promotes body-mind reconnection and recovery.
Learning to rest is a powerful tool to learn how much energy you have in your tank, to know when to stop and when to go on. I invite you to put your well-being first by dedicating just 20 minutes to yourself. This way you can unlock the power of self-care and gain more energy and resources to handle life’s challenges.
I love offering Constructive Rest sessions as a practical tool for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. Although it is most effective when you lie down on a firm surface, you can sit and listen and this practice will support your back health, improve your posture and calm your mind. As poet and philosopher David Whyte beautifully puts it: “to rest is not self-indulgent, to rest is to prepare to give the best of ourselves.” Leave the session(s) feeling lighter, more relaxed and knowing how much energy you have for whatever comes next.
“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.”
– Sydney J. Harris

What are the benefits of the semi-supine position?
The semi-supine position offers several key benefits, positioning your body in an optimal way that allows the spine and the supportive muscles of your back to release tension. It alleviates compression in the lumbar spine and helps to ease pressure in the sacroiliac joint, providing significant relief. Additionally, this position has a calming effect on the body, mind, and emotions, fostering a state of relaxed alertness that promotes overall well-being.
