While we wouldn’t quite call ourselves trend-setters, our teachers at Humane have spent years immersed in mindful movement, health, and wellness. With all that experience, we think we’ve got a pretty solid sense of what’s truly IN and OUT (or at least what we think should be). So, here’s what we see coming in and what we’re happily letting go of for a beautifully balanced 2025!
IN:
Functional, sustainable movement
Think yoga, Pilates, Qi Gong, and movement that can support you through the many seasons of life.
Balance
Wellbeing thrives on balance. By weaving rest, strength-building, and mindfulness into your routine, you create a foundation for long-term vitality.
Listening to your body
Getting to know your own body and mind is essential for sustainable health. This year is all about tuning into what works for you, rather than chasing fleeting trends.
Nourishing, whole foods
Mindful eating is the ultimate form of self-care. We’re filling our plates with the colours of the rainbow and prioritising whole, nutrient-rich foods that invite joy, satisfaction, and energy.
Minimalism
Less is more. Paring down clutter, turning down the volume in this busy world, and focusing on simple, enriching experiences over things is helping us make space for more clarity and contentment - and to remember what truly matters.
Outdoor exercise
We’ll be spending more time walking, bike riding, and taking our mindful movement outside to ground and connect body and mind.
Community connection
We’re thinking book clubs, farmer’s markets, yoga classes, and anything that invites nourishing, wholesome connections and interactions with like-minded friends.
OUT:
Going hard at the gym
While there may be a time and place for smashing fitness goals - for many of us that time has passed by the time we reach our thirties. That’s not to say we can’t explore and evolve - but we should focus on movements that will support us throughout our entire lives, and not just our youth.
Pushing your body to extremes
It’s just not sustainable. Instead, let’s focus on moving with intention and joy, rather than depleting ourselves with practices that will leave us feeling unbalanced.
Following trends
From superfoods to magic supplements and the latest ‘must-try’ wellness accessories, following trends rarely delivers the miracles promised. Been there, done that. This year, we’re saying goodbye to the noise and letting our intuition be the guide.
Fad diets
From veganism to carnivore - we’ve tried it all. And what we’re learning is that there really is no one-size-fits-all approach. This year, we’re paying attention to what works for our own unique makeup and ditching restrictive eating plans that treat us like robots.
Consumerism
Though we cherish our fancy leggings, we’re well aware that accumulating more doesn’t equate to happiness. This year, we’re checking the fridge and cupboards before we go grocery shopping and being brutally honest about whether or not we really need another cute Pilates top.
Luxury exercise spaces
The latest luxe fitness studio might look beautiful, but true wellbeing is about health and connection - not the latest interior design trends.
Socialising for the sake of it
Instead of saying yes to everything, we’re prioritising tending to the friendships and connections that allow us to slow down and relax.
Here’s to an aligned, intentional, and balanced 2025 - at Humane Yoga and beyond.
