Change Is Messy—But So Is Growth

"The glow-up is never as tidy as Instagram makes it look."

Welcome to July, where we’re talking all things change—not the polished, post-transformation kind, but the raw, uncomfortable, middle-bit that nobody posts about. Because here’s the truth: real change is chaotic. It’s clunky. It’s sweaty, silent, and sometimes deeply lonely. And yet, it’s also where the magic begins.

This month, under our Wellness, Unfiltered campaign, we’re smashing the idea that you need a perfect routine, body, schedule, or mindset to begin again. You don’t need to have it all together to rest, reset, or retreat.

Why the Wellness Industry Gets Change Wrong

Too often, the wellness world sells transformation as a before-and-after photo. But what about the in-between? The relapse, the resistance, the days when healing looks like crying on the mat instead of striking a pose?

The industry says: Get it right, then you’re worthy. We say: Come as you are. That’s where the real work starts.

Change on the Mat, Off the Mat

In yoga, change is built into the practice. You wobble. You fall. You try again. The mat is one of the few places where being a beginner is not only accepted—it’s honoured.

So why not bring that same energy to your life?

At REESET, our retreats are designed to hold people in the middle of change. Whether you’re grieving, growing, burnt out, or breaking open, there’s a place for you here.

Because healing isn’t a timeline. It’s a tide.

Here’s How to Embrace Messy Change:

🌀 Lower the bar – You don’t have to be thriving to be growing. Surviving counts.

🫁 Make space for pause – A messy process still deserves rest. Especially then.

🤸🏽‍♀️ Be where you are, not where you wish you were – This is yoga. This is life.

🫶 Let yourself be witnessed – Community matters. You don’t have to carry your change alone.

The REESET Way

Our retreats are built for the in-between. For the shedding, the questioning, the not-quite-there-yet. We hold space for the tears, the breakthroughs, and the quiet re-alignments that happen when you stop pretending and start listening.

This month, let’s stop chasing the “after.” Let’s honour the during.
