I am lying on a yoga mat on the floor of my sitting room and renowned yogi Nahid de Belgeonne is standing over me, issuing me with instructions on how to rock my body.
The trick, she explains, is to start at the heels, and let the up and down movement undulate through the body, prompting the knees and then the spine, and finally the head to follow suit. I suppress the urge to giggle and do as instructed, allowing my form to gently but consistently give in to the motion, my heels encouraging each wave of movement.
