SUMMARY:A Healthy Spine for Life\, 6-Week Course
DESCRIPTION:Led by Loulou James\, MCSP\, founder of the Buttafly and the Buttafly Technique\nHave you tried everything — and still live with back pain?\nConventional therapies tend to treat the spine with manual adjustments or strenuous exercise. While these applied forces bring brief respite\, lasting freedom comes from establishing the conditions where your body safely releases in harmony with the whole person. \nThis is why A Healthy Spine for Life begins from a completely different premise: your body is not broken—it is seeking balance. Given the right conditions\, it already knows how to heal. \nTogether\, we will meet weekly to explore foundational anatomy and cultivate a deeper understanding of posture. Through hands-on experience with the Buttafly Technique\, a gentle\, evidence-based method\, you will learn to work with your body’s own intelligence\, allowing it to soften\, settle\, and reorganise from within. \nIs this course right for you?\nThis course is specifically designed for those living with: \n\nChronic neck and back pain\nSacroiliac joint pain\, coccyx or chronic pelvic pain\nPoor posture and postural fatigue\nMild scoliosis\nYou want to understand why the pain keeps returning — and what you can do about it\n\nA Healthy Spine for Life is also for anyone interested in natural spine health as a foundation for confidence\, well-being and vitality. \nSuitability Guidelines\nTo ensure a safe and deeply supportive experience for everyone\, please review the requirements below. \nPhysical Requirements\nTo participate comfortably in the group practices\, you must be able to: \n\nGet up and down from the floor unaided\nLift your hips into a basic bridge position while lying on your back\n\nMedical Exclusions\nThis group course is not suitable if you are currently experiencing acute back pain\, a recent injury\, severe inflammatory arthritis\, spinal instability\, uncontrolled high blood pressure\, or progressive nerve pain. \n\nReady to book? If you meet the physical requirements\, please proceed to checkout. You will complete a brief safety questionnaire to confirm your space.\nNot a fit for the group? If you have any exclusions\, group classes aren’t right for you just now — but I can still help. Please schedule a one-on-one consultation instead.\n\nWhat to Bring\nA Standard Buttafly block will be provided for your use during class (and will be available to purchase). \nPlease bring your own: \n\nYoga mat\n2 pillows\n1 blanket\nSmall towel\n\nAbout Loulou James\nLoulou is a retired physiotherapist\, spine health specialist\, and a qualified yoga teacher with over 40 years of clinical experience across the NHS\, the military\, and private practice. \nFollowing a fractured sacrum\, she developed the patented Buttafly block and its accompanying technique\, refining it through her own recovery and 11 years of clinical observation. Loulou combines professional clinical rigour with genuine warmth to help you unlock lasting ease and vitality. \nInvestment\n£150 for 6 weeks\, includes a copy of Loulou’s eBook: The Buttafly Technique: How to Relieve Back Pain Naturally and Build Lasting Spine Health. \n“The Buttafly Technique is probably the best system I’ve used for low back relief\, and I’ve tried them all.”\n— Paul James Donnelly\, CEO & Founder\, Winback Medical UK \n

SUMMARY:Feminine Rising — Breath\, Spine and Inner Movement (Online)
DESCRIPTION:A live online evening session exploring breath\, spine and embodied awareness\nThis is a guided experiential session designed to explore how breath and subtle internal movement relate to the spine — and how awareness can shift the way we experience posture\, presence and ourselves. \nIt is suitable for anyone interested in embodiment\, yoga\, spinal awareness or the deeper principles behind feminine movement intelligence. \nSomething is shifting — in the world and in us all\nMany people speak of the feminine rising: A quality of intelligence that is receptive\, relational\, embodied\, and whole. \nOften\, we can sense this shift\, but it remains difficult to describe. It is felt more than understood — present at the edges of awareness\, but not yet fully grounded in the body. \nThis online session is an invitation to explore that territory directly. \nWe will work gently with breath and the spine\, not as separate functions\, but as one continuous field of movement and awareness. \nRather than directing breath or trying to correct posture\, we will explore what happens when attention is placed inside the body — allowing movement to arise from within rather than being imposed from the outside. \nAn embodied practice\, rooted in spinal awareness\nThe breath will be used as a doorway into subtle movement through the spine. From there\, we will explore how the body organises itself when it is not being directed by effort\, correction or control. \nIn this way\, the session reflects a principle often associated with the feminine: movement that emerges from within rather than being imposed upon the body. \nLess doing. More listening. Less correction. More sensing. \nNatural posture — or what might be called the original body — is not something to achieve. It is what becomes available when we stop bracing against life. \nYou will need:\n\nA quiet space where you can sit\, stand and lie down comfortably\nInternet connection\nNo prior experience required\n\nIf you feel drawn to this work but are unsure whether it is for you\, trust that sense of curiosity. This is an exploratory space rather than a performance or a class.

SUMMARY:Relax to Reward (guest speaker)
DESCRIPTION:Loulou James\, founder of the Buttafly and Integrative Spine Health Practitioner is delighted  to be contributing to the Relax to Reward well-being programme at Harbour Hotel Christchurch. \nThis carefully curated event brings together movement\, relaxation and restorative practices to support wellbeing\, relaxation and a deeper connection with the body. \nIn this 90-minute talk and guided experiential session\, Loulou invites participants to explore a different perspective on back pain\, posture and recurring discomfort — one that moves beyond simply stretching\, strengthening or “fixing” the body. \nDrawing on over 40 years of experience as a physiotherapist\, yoga teacher and pioneer of natural back care\, Loulou will explore how the body is constantly adapting and how intelligent support can help create the conditions for greater comfort\, alignment and ease. \nUsing simple practices for sitting\, resting and awareness — including the Buttafly\, a unique support tool developed through Loulou’s clinical experience — participants will discover how small changes in support and positioning can influence how the body feels and functions. \nThis is an opportunity to experience natural back care in a practical and accessible way\, with tools that can be taken into everyday life to support a healthier relationship with your spine.
