Return to Self is educational. It is not a substitute for individual medical or health advice.
Movement practices, exercise instructions, nourishment information, meditations, reflections and other resources are designed to provide general education and practical ideas. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition.
Your body is your own. What is appropriate for one person may not be appropriate for another.
If you have an injury, recent surgery, diagnosed medical condition, significant osteoporosis, a recent fracture, neurological symptoms, persistent or unexplained pain, or another concern about whether an activity is appropriate for you, seek advice from an appropriately qualified health professional before beginning or changing an exercise program.
If an exercise causes sharp, severe, unusual or persistent pain, dizziness, fainting, chest pain, significant shortness of breath or another concerning symptom, stop and seek appropriate medical attention.
Return to Self approaches movement as a way to inhabit the body, build capability and support the life you want to live. There is no single exercise, intensity or body shape that is right for everyone. Exercises may need to be adapted for your body, experience, environment, current capacity and relevant health considerations.
Nourishment information is general educational information, not individual dietary or medical advice. Nutritional needs vary and can be affected by health conditions, medications, life stage and other factors. Seek individual advice from an appropriately qualified professional when needed.
Stillness and reflection can bring awareness to thoughts, feelings, memories or sensations. You are not required to continue a practice that feels overwhelming or unsafe. You can pause, open your eyes, move, ground yourself or seek support.
Return to Self does not provide crisis counselling or emergency mental-health services.
You are responsible for deciding whether and how to use information or practices provided on the website. Listen to your body, adapt where appropriate and seek individual professional guidance when you need it.
If you are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, contact emergency services or an appropriate emergency or crisis service in your location. Do not rely on this website for emergency care.
We do not promise a particular health, fitness, body-composition, emotional or life outcome from using Return to Self resources.
