✨What our practice reveals... There’s something magical about a long-term relationship with Pilates—something we may not have imagined when we first began. I took on this Hampton Community class in 2023, and over 3.5 years it has grown from 6 students to 16. After class, I love hearing what Pilates has opened up for my clients. About half stay to chat, and some even ask for home programs! Coffee catch-ups follow, and it makes my heart sing to see the ladies wander off together and form new friendships. I love the sense of community and connection that has grown alongside our practice.✨

Taking the air in and letting the air flow out. Can you guess how many times we are doing that every single day? Well, I will do some number crunching later. Many of us have lost the ability to breath correctly, with various consequences to our muscle- skeleton, fascial, nervous system, organ health, pelvic floor function, not to mention awareness of diaphragm health and support, and much more. 
The first time I learned some important things about breath was when I was awarded open water diving certification at the Great Barrier Reef 25 years ago. It was the best way for me to learn from a very good diving instructor about breath. He was so calm as he delivered in the course, settling my anxiety of being in deep water and going under water for an extended time.
The second encounter about breath was back in 2008 when I started my recovery journey from back injury. My first visit to a small Pilates studio (equipment based) was an eye opener. I learnt how much I need to release through breath work to let go of my anxiety and the trauma I carried through the recovery of my injury. I was in a constant state of over breathing, and this to my surprise, was normal for me. I didn’t know any different.
Today, in my movement sessions the approach to breathing, pelvic floor and organ health is at the fore front.
