BOOK TODAY

Mia Young

"Working one-to-one with Selina has completely changed the way I see fitness. She created a safe space where I could be honest about my struggles with weight and self-confidence. Together, we built a routine that fit my lifestyle, and I’ve never felt stronger, both physically and spiritually. For the first time, I feel consistent and in control, and I’m finally seeing results I can maintain."

Dan Nelson

"The Saturday group sessions are the highlight of my week! Selina knows how to push us just enough while keeping the workouts fun and accessible. Beyond the exercise, it’s the community that makes it special, we laugh, we sweat, and we pray together. I’ve built strength, endurance, and friendships I never expected."

Lisa Oakleigh

"Selina delivered an incredible wellness workshop for our team, combining practical fitness strategies with inspiring faith-based principles that resonated with everyone. The session was engaging, interactive, and tailored perfectly to our group’s needs, from movement and posture tips to managing stress and finding balance. Our staff left feeling motivated, energised, and equipped with tools they can use daily, both at work and at home. We look forward to welcoming her back for future sessions."

We can’t wait to welcome you. 💛

“Different seasons require different rhythms.

During my season of preparing for childbirth, home workouts became the one thing that kept me grounded, strong, connected to my body, and consistent with myself and God.

Consistency won’t always look the same, but keep showing up for the season you’re in. ✨

The LINA Method — Strengthening women through movement, faith, and intentional living.

5K jog was a winner today 🤗🙌🏾🙏🏾
Every 1K I stopped to activate my glutes and add an extra burn to my quads.

“Connecting the dots, can look like this” 🎯
2–3 gym sessions + 2 home workouts each week, keeps you connected to your muscles, movement, and momentum.

This banger got me home because my legs were ON FIRE 🔥

When you find your rhythm, be the reason — not the excuse.

Pouring into others restores my joy in ways I can’t explain 🤗❤️✨🙏🏾

Setting up for my Ascend class reminded me that God has been preparing me for this all along. Creating spaces where women can move, connect, reset and feel empowered is becoming one of the most fulfilling parts of my journey.

More than fitness …..
it’s healing, alignment, community and purpose. ✨

Our next event will be on Saturday 15th August
Early bird tickets drop this week
Keep your eyes peeled 👀 🙌🏾

Have you found your game changer this season?
Because for me… everything is shifting.

As I transition through perimenopause, the way I train, the way I nourish my body, even my spiritual walk, it all feels different.

Slower. Deeper. More intentional.
And instead of resisting it, I’m choosing to lean in.
To listen more.
To honour my body.
To move with wisdom, not pressure.
This season isn’t about losing who I was…
It’s about becoming who I’m meant to be next.

I’m staying grounded, physically, mentally, and spiritually. And more than ever, I’m keeping my feet planted in the Word.

✨ “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1

This is a new season.
And I’m ready for it.

Are you embracing your changes… or fighting them?

They didn’t just show up… they rose to the standard. 💫

The energy in the room was unmatched. Every single attendee understood the assignment, 100% effort, full presence, no hesitation. That’s where real transformation began.

The Lina Method wasn’t just a workout. It tested discipline, mindset, and the willingness to move beyond comfort. Every rep, every drop of sweat, every moment… it was earned.

Then came the reset. The softening. The shift into recovery, connection, and nourishment, because elevation wasn’t just about intensity, it was about restoration too.

What was created in that space was more than a session. It was community. It was power. It was alignment.
And for everyone in that room… it was only the beginning. ✨

I love this space and the wonderful people I get to share it with ❤️

Shout out to @shaunabarnesbridal keep up the amazing work sis your truly golden 🙏🏾🙌🏾🤩

The class was so good I had to get qualified, and bring this energy back to my Lina community ✨

Mat Pilates just connects so naturally with the Lina method — stripping it all back, focusing on the fundamentals, and building real strength from the ground up.

New Mat Pilates instructor loading… 🤗🤗🤗

Loving this season 🤍
Open to my Father’s calling and patiently waiting on instruction.

This is about moving with intention, understanding your body, and creating strength that carries into a life full of goodness.

In Conversation with Lina — continues 🙌🏾

I didn’t know that sitting on a mat after teaching a full body class… would lead to moments like this.

Moments to pause.
To reflect.
To really talk about the walk.
Our faith journeys.
Fitness. Health.
Family, careers, passions, relationships…

Thank you to the lovely @eden_brihan
The real conversations that shape who we’re becoming.
These are the moments I’ll truly cherish
in the building of LINA 🙏🏾❤️😍

Let’s get into it….

This is the LINA experience

Keep your eyes peeled for our next Wellness dates 😆🤗🙏🏾✨✨✨

What is the GOOD stuff….

After you’ve moved, trained, pushed yourself, don’t forget to love, nourish and care for your body.

This isn’t just about food… it’s about caring, healing, and setting goals with intention.

What you sow into your body, you will reap 🌱
Energy. Strength. Recovery. Peace.

Choosing to eat well after exercise isn’t punishment or control
it’s honour. It’s love. It’s stewardship.
“Those who sow… will reap” (Galatians 6:7)

And that applies here too.
Nourish your body → reap strength
Care for yourself → reap balance
Move with purpose → reap peace

Don’t neglect your body after the work is done.
That’s where the growth happens.
Feed it. Restore it. Respect it. ✨

Because my only plan is to follow God.
He sees what I can’t.
He is my plan

Don’t give up, everyday is a chance to renew and refine

Movement is not a choice it’s a blessing don’t waste it ❤️👊🏾🙌🏾

“Ask, and it will be given to you” — Matthew 7:7 🙏🏾✨

So I asked Yah to use me as a vessel, show me how to serve, and show me how to be transparent as I’m learning and growing in my faith 😯… not knowing He would realign my gifts in fitness, my gift for teaching, and caring for others.
And call me to create a space where women can be poured into, and strengthened through community, encountering His presence and excellence 🥹😍

Wow… in complete awe….❤️
This is more than fitness, more than a moment… this is divine instruction . And I’m truly honoured to steward it all for His glory 🔥✨

Strong foundations build strong bodies.

This is my go-to back day move, not because it’s flashy, but because it works. Every rep is about controlling the movement, engaging my core, glutes, and calves that are still locked in from leg day.

Ready to connect the dots on days I can’t make it to the gym 👊🏾🙌🏾💪🏾

You are not defined by your past, your mistakes, or others’ opinions. God sees you with love, purpose, and truth. Align your thoughts with His Word, let truth, not feelings, shape your identity.

And let that truth guide how you treat your body. Fitness isn’t punishment, it’s stewardship. Move, fuel, and rest with gratitude.

Follow the journey, join the community you are welcome here ❤️🙏🏾💪🏾🙌🏾✨

A moment in conversation with my sister in faith @jahgieldn

We spoke about obedience, how it’s not always easy or comfortable, but always necessary. It requires trust, surrender, and choosing God even when we don’t fully understand.

Deuteronomy 5:33
“Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.”

I can’t do this journey alone,
Surround yourself with wise counsel and be open to godly connections. This world is loud, but there’s strength in the right community.

Something NEW is coming… 🤍🔥

A whole new kind of vibe.
Where fitness meets praise 💪🏾🙏🏾

Where we move with joy, freedom, and intention ✨
Think high energy.
Think powerful music.
Think strength, cardio, and straight VIBES 😮‍🔥

The becoming of LINA

Excited for what’s to come ✨🙏🏾🌱💪🏾🙌🏾

Welcome

To every woman choosing to put God first
this space is for you.

A wellness experience designed to serve you,
where faith leads,
fitness strengthens,
and community uplifts.

A place where you can come expectant for change,
ready to steward your body,
and grow in alignment, spirit, mind, and body.
Everything we do, we do in honour…
giving glory to the Most High.

You’re not here by accident.
Stay connected ✨

I’m realising I’m in a season of becoming.

Living out what God has called me to…
even when I don’t feel qualified.
But He truly does call the unqualified

“Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.”
1 Corinthians 1:26–27

…and His faithfulness meets you there, every time.

May the joy of that faithfulness wash over us all 🤍✨

Fun Facts About Me Selina ✨
• Founder & Coach behind Lina Fitness & Retreats 🌿
• I actually started out in fashion before stepping into fitness
• I’m a proud mum of 2 👧🏾👦🏾
• And a soon to be wife too 🤍
• I love being in nature, it resets me every time 🌳✨
• Faith is at the centre of everything I do 🙏🏾
• I’m passionate about helping women feel strong, confident, and aligned

• I’m big on community, no one should do this journey alone
• Gym or home workouts? I’m doing both 💪🏽
• I love a good reset moment, physically & spiritually
• I created LINA fitness & retreats because I wanted women to feel seen, held, and elevated.

I look forward to welcoming you 🙌🏾❤️✨

It wasn’t something I planned,
just a quiet voice that became a decision to draw closer to God, and in that, everything began to shift.

Through time in the Word,
and returning to simplicity in what I consumed,
I experienced a deeper level of clarity spiritually, remembering my dreams and physically my body was able to function properly.

Especially those areas I had struggled with for years began to settle, inflammation in my joints, poor digestive system.

There’s something so powerful about stripping things back and
nourishing your body with the array of delicious food God himself created for us to thrive.
It refines you.

“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8

That’s what this season has been.
A quiet drawing near… and feeling Him meet me there.
It sets you apart.
You may not recognise yourself after…
but in the most beautiful way,
you become who you were always meant to be.
A child of the most high God

Functional strength isn’t optional, I learnt this the hard way.

In my late 20s I trained to win after completely transforming my physical appearance and loosing over 5 1/2 stone.
In my 30s I pushed, I tested, I showed up and in the process, I really started to understand my body, My strengths, My weaknesses and What actually worked for me… and what didn’t.

Now in my 40s, I see it clearly:
What you build in your 20s, 30s, or 40s + is what carries you through the next decade. Be intentional so your future self can thank you.

Because as things shift and life tests us from period’s to child birth, hormones change, recovery slows and your body demands a different kind of respect.

This is where functional strength matters most.
It’s not about chasing numbers or aesthetics anymore.
It’s about moving well. Staying strong. Supporting your body so it can support you for life.

Keep a look out for my weekly class timetable coming soon and let’s train for each season together 💪🏾👊🏾🙏🏾✨

LINA family

The Ascend part II experience allowed us to take a moment to pause, reflect, and realign, not just physically, but spiritually. As we gathered, one thing was placed so strongly on my heart:

This next season requires intention.
Not just in how we train, but in how we prepare, mind, body, and spirit.

We are stepping into a new season of growth, and wellness is part of that calling. How we care for our bodies matters. How we show up for ourselves matters.

The scripture laid on my heart:
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…” (1 Corinthians 6:19)

A reminder that this journey is deeper than the surface.
We are not just building strength — we are stewarding what we’ve been given.
As we move forward, this is the foundation we stand on:
Stay in prayer, seek him first intentionally, aligned, and prepared for all that’s ahead ✨

I never knew how wholesome it could feel to truly journey alongside like-minded women… all answering their unique calling, all rising, all inspiring one another.

The LINA community has become so much more than I ever imagined.
It’s my happy place. My safe space.
A space where I can stand in boldness, in full authenticity and authority, grounded in the knowing that my Father is pleased.

Together, we are intentionally strengthening our bodies, creating change, resetting, and supporting real, lasting physical growth. Planted in truth, rooted in purpose… there is no way we will fail.

“God is within her, she will not fall.” (Psalm 46:5)

Not perfect, but called.
Not boastful in self, but walking in grace.
This is what it looks like to living in alignment with Gods will✨

When the vibe in the room is right and the ladies are smashing the exercises, you’ll hear me say one word… “EASY.” 🔥

If only I could bottle that energy. But the truth is, you have to be in the room to feel it.

The Lina Method Training Program is going through its final tweaks, so it’s perfect before we roll it out to the community.
Keep following for a special announcement coming very soon. ✨

Nerves aside….🤗☺️😅….there is something so powerful about bringing women together in the right space.

After the beautiful energy from our last gathering, I’m so excited to share that this weekend we return to Sopers House for ASCEND Part 11.

A curated luxury wellness experience designed for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves, elevate their wellbeing and grow both physically and spiritually.
This is more than an event.
It’s a community.
It’s alignment.
It’s transformation.

Join our community and be the first to hear about upcoming experiences.
Come walk the good walk in true alignment. ✨

As a founder, I’m especially grateful for the women who lead with faith, courage, and purpose. 💜

Happy International Women’s Day. May we continue to uplift one another and walk boldly in the path God has set before us. ✨

#InternationalWomensDay #fitness #livinginnewalignment #wellness #strong

Sometimes all you need is someone who sees you.

Strength training starts with learning to support your own body weight. Hanging. Holding. Pushing. Pulling. At first it’s hard. Unstable. Uncomfortable.

Every rep builds endurance. Every hold builds strength.

Follow the movement, you are welcome here 🙏🏾☺️🙌🏾❤️💪🏾

Welcome to L.I.N.A – Living In New Alignment.

LINA was created to bring women together in a space where physical strength, spiritual growth, and genuine community can exist side by side.

Our approach is built on four core pillars:
Strength – building muscle and resilience through weight training.
Function – training the body to move well in everyday life through functional movement.
Movement – improving mobility, energy, and overall physical wellbeing.
Faith – encouraging spiritual alignment and stewardship of the body.

At LINA we believe caring for our bodies and nurturing our faith go hand in hand. When we prioritise both, we build the strength and clarity needed to live with purpose.

This is more than fitness, it’s about living in new alignment.

Follow along to learn more about the LINA Method, our wellness experiences, and our growing community.
