What The Felt Ground Is

Felt - as in sensed, experienced, it’s the knowing through the body rather than reasoned through the mind. It’s more than listening, it’s true feeling.

Ground - as in earth, your foundation, the place you return to when you have been rattled by the pace and demand of life.

Together - The Felt Ground is the body itself. The thing most of us have been living inside without actually paying too much attention to or we have neglected the biggest part of self. It’s the place where tension resides before it becomes pain and where the nervous system speaks way before the mind catches up.

This is the membership for those that are ready to stop managing the body and instead start to feeling it.

The Approach: Body First, Always

In The Felt Ground we move differently. We always start in the body; sensations, tension, breath and release. Body to gut, to heart to mind, in that order for a reason. Your nervous system doesn’t respond to instructions, it responds to felt experience.

The practices draw from yin and yang yoga, myofascial release, somatics, breath and the Ayurvedic seasonal framework. Not as separate techniques but as one integrated body therapy, shaped around what your nervous system actually needs at this time of year.

Who this is for

The Felt Ground is for women who have been carrying a lot, family, caring responsibilities, work and the mental load of everyday life, and are beginning to feel the impact in their bodies.

Whether you're noticing changes in your energy, sleep, stress, or persistent tension, this is an invitation to slow down, listen and reconnect.

You don't need any previous experience of yoga, somatic practices or meditation, only a willingness to become curious about what your body has been trying to tell you.

How it works

The Felt Ground runs continuously through the year, moving through four seasonal arcs. Each season has its own theme and its own pace. Between the seasons, the content becomes quieter. Integration weeks ask very little, while leaving space to keep your rituals alive. But the membership never truly stops. There is always space to breathe, grow and integrate the practices into your daily life.

You commit one season at a time, with the freedom to renew, pause or step away whenever you need - without guilt.

Each Seasonal Journey unfolds over approximately two months and includes: six live sessions, with a mix of Friday morning and Tuesday evening gatherings , weekly companion resources to help you weave what you're learning into everyday life and online community space.

All live sessions are recorded, so you can practise at a time that works for you. You can move at your own pace, revisit sessions whenever you need them, and simply begin with the season you're in.

The Felt Ground is Powered by The Portal

Founding member rates are now available for those that sign up to Season One 2026. Rates are in recognition of the trust it takes to walk into something new. Can’t wait to welcome you in to this space.

The Portal is a genuine alternative to tech broligarchy - we won’t prod your nervous system or hijack your attention to drive ad revenue for billionaires.

Built by Sally Burns, a Mum of 2 young kids in Brighton along with everyone who believes in it, The Portal layers modalities of learning to meet the complexity of these times.

And if you know anything about me, I firmly believe the support in women and women spaces more than anything.
