Wellness That Moves With You: Designing a Life That Holds It All

Guest post by La Pochette

There’s something quietly powerful about building a day that holds space for your wellbeing, not in spite of everything else, but in sync with it.

Whether it’s a gym class before meetings, a lunchtime swim, a sauna at the end of a full week or simply ten minutes of mindful calm away from your phone, these rituals have the ability to shift the rhythm of your day. 

At La Pochette, we design sustainable accessories that support these moments, the practical, intentional details that allow you to integrate wellness into your daily routine. A key part of our philosophy is that it’s not about grand gestures and dramatic changes, it’s the sustainable, smaller habits which build up to create a real and noticeable impact on your life.

This year we’ve set a wellness challenge each month, inviting our community to join us in adding a small, yet impactful, practice into their daily life.  

Through these challenges, and through our community and our own lives, we’ve discovered ways to integrate wellness into the flow of the day and help wellness move with you.

Start with intention

There’s no set way to start the day but the best mornings tend to have one thing in common: a sense of clarity. That might mean stepping out into the morning sunlight for five minutes while the kettle boils or it could be a cold shower to sharpen focus and shift your mood.

These actions are deceptively simple. But they’re also a signal, to yourself, your body and your mind, that you’re choosing to begin the day with care.

Packing your gym kit the night before can offer the same effect. It removes friction from your morning and means your future self is already one step ahead.

Create space for movement

The middle of the day often disappears into tasks and meetings. But it also holds potential: a class before lunch or a call taken whilst walking instead of at your desk. 

Movement doesn’t always need to be intense to be valuable. We love fitting in a short Pilates class at lunchtime, and being able to do it without carrying an oversized gym bag makes all the difference. A lightweight Sweat Bag, packed with clean kit and post-class essentials, means you can step into the studio and back out into your day with ease.

If you’re swimming, using the sauna or steam room, or even just freshening up before heading to drinks, a Wet Bag ensures your damp kit doesn’t interfere with the rest of your day, or the inside of your handbag.

Sometimes wellness looks like an intense spin class, other times it looks like walking in nature while listening to a podcast. What matters most is that you intentionally allow space for it to exist.

Design better transitions

One of the simplest ways you can begin to elevate your wellness day to day is by thinking about those five-minute transitions between one part of the day and the next, the handover points we often rush through without noticing.

Try resetting after your last meeting by putting on music. Repack your bag for the next day. Declutter your space. Close your laptop. Switch rooms. Light a candle. Take three deep breaths. Put your phone away.

These moments may not look like wellness from the outside. But they often become the difference between a day that drains and a day that flows.

Let your tools support your rhythm

La Pochette’s accessories have been designed intelligently to respect the rhythm of busy lives.

A waterproof Wet Bag means you don’t need to worry about your swimwear soaking the rest of your bag. Refillable Travel Bottles mean you’re always prepared to freshen up after a class without relying on disposable plastic. A Kit Bag that fits your clean top, resistance bands and socks makes it easy to pack ahead, pop in your bag and fit in a workout, even when your diary is packed.

All of our products are meticulously crafted for seamless travel, just like Dreem Distillery’s Jet Set Kit - a complete travel sized wellness routine, perfect for supporting a wind down routine before you go to sleep whether you’re at home or away.

It’s about removing the friction between wanting to do something and actually doing it.

Small things, done often

We believe wellness is in the details.

It’s the walk you take instead of scrolling or remembering to drink water first thing. It’s brushing your teeth while standing on one leg to improve your balance, packing your bag the night before or making the choice to spend five minutes on a ritual that makes the next hour easier.
