The Sunday Reset Highlights 🌿

My heart is so full after yesterday! A massive thank you to everyone who joined Lin and me for our very first Sunday Reset. It was exactly what we had hoped for, a morning dedicated to feeling good from the inside out.

We started on our mats at the Fellside Centre with an hour of Pilates specifically for gut health. There was such a lovely, grounding energy in the room as we moved through those twists and mobilisations to wake up the body and support our digestion. 🧘‍♀️✨

Then, the sun actually came out for us! ☀️ We sat outside to enjoy coffee and our homemade cakes. It was so special to see everyone connecting and chatting before diving into the "Make" part of the morning. 🍰☕️

Lin was absolutely brilliant, guiding us through the art of fermentation. Seeing the room full of people getting stuck into making their own sauerkraut was such a joy. Everyone headed home with a "jar of goodness" and, I hope, a sense of total reset. 🥬🥣

Thank you for bringing such wonderful energy and making the day so successful. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Boosts Immunity: Supports the "good" bacteria in your gut.

🌿 Movement & Microbes: A Morning of Pilates, Connection & Fermentation 🌿

​Looking for a way to reset your system and connect with lovely people? Join Lin and me on Sunday, 10th May at 9:30 am for a workshop designed to make you feel good from the inside out

​We’re blending the power of Pilates with the ancient art of sauerkraut making. Here is why your body (and your gut!) will thank you:

​✨ Why Pilates for Digestion?

​Gently Stimulates Organs: The twisting and core engagement in Pilates act like a gentle "massage" for your digestive tract.

​Reduces Stress: High cortisol can stall digestion; the mindful breathing in Pilates helps switch your body into "rest and digest" mode.

​Improves Posture: Better alignment means more space for your internal organs to function optimally.

​✨ The Power of Sauerkraut:

​Probiotic Punch: It’s packed with beneficial bacteria that support a healthy microbiome and immune system.

​Digestive Aid: The enzymes in raw ferment help your body break down nutrients more effectively.

​Simple Superfood: It is incredibly easy to add to your daily routine! Try it:

​As a Zesty Topper: Add a spoonful to avocado toast or morning eggs for a tangy crunch.

​In Your Salads: Mix it into leafy greens or grain bowls for an instant flavour and probiotic boost.

​With Your Main Meal: It pairs beautifully as a side dish with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even stirred into a jacket potato.

​🍰 Coffee, Cake, & Connection

​After we move, we’ll settle in for some well deserved refreshments and delicious homemade cake. It’s the perfect time to chat, meet new friends, and relax before Lin guides us through the fermentation process.

​The best part? You’ll head home with your very own jar of handcrafted sauerkraut to nurture your gut at home.

​📅 When: Sunday 10th May, 9:30 am – 1:00 pm

📍 Where: Fellside Centre, Kendal.

🎟️ Bookings: Spaces are limited! Send me a DM or click the link in my bio to secure your spot.

​Let’s move, make, and nourish together! 🥣✨
