The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has published a new Position Stand summarising resistance training recommendations for healthy adults; the first major update since 2009. Have a read, and certainly something to consider with KettleflowYOGA. https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fulltext/2026/04000/american_college_of_sports_medicine_position.21.aspx

Dear Teacher, We live in a time where movement practices are often shaped by trends. Where classes are blended, rebranded, and adapted to fit what’s popular or marketable. Where it’s easy to pick what we like… and quietly leave the rest behind. And yet, whether you teach yoga, Pilates, BODYBALANCE, or any form of mindful movement, there is still something deeper that sits underneath it all. A thread, a responsibility, perhaps a practice. This isn’t about following one lineage or doing things the “right” way. But it is about remembering that what we teach carries influence. How we guide people into their bodies, how we speak about effort and rest, how we hold space for breath, awareness, and change all matter. So, this month, I invite you to pause and reflect not just on what you’re teaching, but on how you’re holding it. Are you teaching from habit… or from intention? From performance… or from presence? From pressure… or from understanding? In a world that often rushes to simplify and sell…your depth is what sets you apart. You don’t need to be louder, and you don’t need to do more. You just need to stay rooted in what you believe this work is truly about. That’s what people feel. That’s what they remember, and that’s what keeps this work meaningful for you and for them. With respect for the path you walk, Ann-See xo

@Ann-See Yeoh Thank you for the lesson plans and recordings. This looks so lovely. The philosophy is very interesting. How and why did you select the poses the intention please - for example, Curtsy Lunge, Warrior 3 and Side Plank please?

@Ann-See Yeoh Thank you for the workshop yesterday. Where do I find my link to send to others for Pocketful of Grace please?

I'm just doing a bit of upskill and thought I'd share these articles here in case you hadn't seen them before.
