    Re-Release Rest Less : A subtle lesson in aware breathing

    This lesson has been recorded with a person in mind. I've re-released it for participants who attended an interactive talk on the Rest Less platform on  9 January 2026 It's a subtle easy slow gentle lesson, with some detail on the anatomy and structure of the thoracic spine. Just a little, but enough to spark interest. The lesson is not designed to be a medical treatment and if you are worried in any way that moving may be problematic, then speak to your physician before doing the work. However, you can always do this just in your imagination either in sitting or side lying.   I mention a pillow support system in the lesson. It's the Lejrelet System and here is the link    Here is a link to a youtube about the thoracic spine, some time back uploaded about 2015 I believe. Here is one of the other lessons on the thoracic spine, but quite an advanced one   Me, and my website Enjoy

    Bone health, osteoporosis, what does embodied mean?

    Today someone asked me what is meant to be 'embodied' to practice work to improve 'embodiment.   As a Physiotherapist and Psychologist sometimes I use words and phrases and forget that someone might not have a concept on the meaning. So, here I'm attempting to give a simple explanation, with examples on how we used to appraise for 'embodied skills' years ago, and how things have changed.   Let me know is any of this resonates.

    Improve your sleep with a digital detox

    This podcast is following up on a BBC Radio program question they asked me to address and I recorded this afterwards. The podcast briefly outlines why it is important to have a digital detox.    If it's not something that you've come across before then have a listen in and consider trying it out every now and again. If you have a family you can maybe have one evening a week where you set aside an extra hour and put in place a digital detox for the whole family.   It's a bit radical maybe to consider switching off the internet, switching off your phones and screens etc and finding other things to do. It's a great opportunity to read books, have conversations, catch up and have a family meal and also to spend time literally relaxing without the pressure of our never-ending system of screens.   Have a listening you might learn something and you might be interested in trying something out at home have a great day  love you J xx

    London Feldenkrais Lessons face to face in Shoreditch or your home

    This podcast today introduces you to a wonderful new development. I’m moving back to London to provide hands-on lessons (the traditional Feldenkrais method, called “functional integration”). In my work, I call them neuroclarity lessons. Because I'm also a coach, hypnotherapist, advanced practice physiotherapist, etc, the work that I do may mean you have a complex or catastrophic injury that you need help with. 2025 is a fascinating time for me, and I hope you pick up the excitement in my voice. I've been unable to work freely and have time available to myself for nearly the last 40 years. Those of you who have children will understand the constraints that that can impose.  On top of that, I also had four Border Collies, and I'll tell you more about that in this Podcast episode. However, for now, I hope you pick up the excitement and enthusiasm in my voice as I look forward to seeing you in person in London UK and helping you. As always, you can contact me through my podcast, send me a message, or, if you search for my name, Jill Wigmore-Welsh, on the internet, you'll easily find my website and can send me a message or book a half-hour session to discuss any problems you have. A 30-minute chat won't solve your problems, but it will let us meet face-to-face and talk to see whether I can help you and what that would entail. I love you all and hope to speak to you and meet you one day Xx J
