Tuesday’s Tips
What do you need to tell your pilates instructor about you?
Even if you have been going to your class for an age, if things change for you, it’s really helpful to both you and the instructor if you give them a heads up when you’re experiencing some changes and difficulties.
These can be from sleeping poorly, increased stress, changes in medical status, a new weird thing you’ve noticed in your body, and other things that may have an effect on your pilates practice, endurance, focus, strength and pacing.
It’s always ok to let them know, even if it seems small. You don’t have to disclose personal information that you want to, but just a “hey I’m going through some stuff and I’m not sleeping well, I don’t feel super strong but I want to move and do pilates because I feel like it would help me.” Is enough.

Take care, respect you and your body. Also, respect your instructor because they won’t know what they don’t know.

Monday’s Mindfulness

The world IS overwhelming and mostly not in a good way.
Mindfulness can help reduce the impact of this overwhelm, not in an attempt to ignore it, we shouldn’t, but in the understanding that self care is important.
This means that we NEED to find space to stop, remove ourselves a little and breathe.

Is this a luxury?
Absolutely.
Do we need to carry guilt for being able to do it?
That’s up to you, but if you’re doing your best to support those less fortunate (if you can (spreading awareness is also helping)) then you are probably doing your best and the guilt should be held not by you.

You may disagree with me, and that’s ok.

Nevertheless, taking time to breathe and reduce the overwhelm it will be beneficial for you and those around you.

I hope you enjoy this mindfulness practice. With loving kindness

Saturday Stretch

Using a Pilates small ball we are stretching and bending to help the body feel calm.

Hold your stretches up to 30 seconds if you can. This will help them feel more relaxed. Be mindful of your body and use the range of stretch and time that suits you.

Friday 5

5 more exercises that are designed so you can do them whilst managing the intensity, leaving you with enough reserve to manage your other commitments.

I suggest 10 reps of each, but do what suits you at the time of practice.

Always practice within the capabilities of your time of practice. Honour your body and its ability to do difficult things. Respect your body when it tells you, not today or you are in need of more support.

Use the amount of reps that suits you. Add these to a program for an all over body workout. Use the right resistance, range and reps that suits you at the time of practice.

Enjoy

Wednesday’s Workout
A workout that is designed for when you need to manage the intensity so you still have energy for the other things you need to do. If you have a chronic condition, or even if you have a mild flu you can exercise and find that the benefits outweigh spending that time on the couch. A 20 minute movement session will do wonders when you manage the intensity of it to suit your needs.

Use the correct resistance/weights/range for you. Use the amount of reps suitable for you (I suggest 10).

Add these to another workout and build a workout that’s suits you.

Always practice within the capabilities of your time of practice. Honour your body and its ability to do difficult things. Respect your body when it tells you, not today or you are in need of more support.

Always use the range, resistance and amount of reps that is right for you at the time of practice.

Enjoy.

Tuesday’s Tips
Managing energy is something that I have had to get used to. Some day’s I don’t need to think about it. At other times, I really need to be mindful of how much energy I use in my workouts so I can manage the rest of my responsibilities. I know for others, this is a daily mindfulness they have to be aware of.

We can still move and exercise while managing our energy.
We can do this by lessening the intensity of the workout by:

*Making it shorter
*Using less resistance
*Doing fewer reps

I still recommend using the extent of the range that is open to you, as we still need to focus on mobility. Mobility is a a key factor to having a decent health span and it also is key in pain management.

Always practice within the capabilities of your time of practice. Honour your body and its ability to do difficult things. Respect your body when it tells you, not today or you are in need of more support.

Monday’s Mindfulness

Have you heard the saying “Be the change”?
Today’s practice is about how we can mindfully manage our way through our everyday and practice being the change we want for this world.
We can’t change how other are or how they choose or have had to manage the way they move through life. But, we can change how we do.

What change do you want to see that you can demonstrate by making it a part of your daily life?

I hope you enjoy this mindfulness practice. With loving kindness

Tuesday’s Tips
Another focus on foot strength and stability.

Introducing some props to help with strengthening the feet and ankles.

Our feet are our foundation and have always been an important part of a pilates practice. These props are very helpful to strengthen and stabilise the feet and ankles.

Always practice within the capabilities of your time of practice. Honour your body and its ability to do difficult things. Respect your body when it tells you, not today or you are in need of more support.

Monday’s Mindfulness

Today’s mindfulness is about calm.
We all have something that helps us feel calm. Yet, sometimes calm can be hard to access. Especially when we have multiple stressors in our day to day.

For this practice, it can be helpful to have a picture of a person, place or thing that brings you calm &/or peace to your heart when you see it nearby.

I hope you enjoy this mindfulness practice. With loving kindness
