I don’t know how everyone else is holding up because I can’t even bring myself to scrolling through the emotional waves of social media just incase of any scare mongering or anxiety fuelling posts. Also I know it have seen a lot of the fitness industry really upping their game as we go into this third lockdown and I guess I follow a lot of these people so it feels like every second post is about someone’s new programme or membership offering and class schedule. It’s great there’s so much on offer. I wish I was in that zone right now. I do love teaching and it gives me such a boost in times when I’m feeling a bit blah. But right now we are in the midst of a house move that’s gone topsy turvy so we’ve no where to live with two kids under 3 and childcare arrangements that have crumbled over night. I would love to be putting up an new timetable and shouting out with all the positive energy I usually muster up for these occasions but the truth is right now I don’t have it. The little bit I have left right now is being reserved for myself and my boys. I’ve so many messages I would love to return them all personally but I’m literally writing this as I rock one of the boys to sleep. This week I need to just switch off and come back when I’ve clear the pipes so to speak. If you’ve messaged me no doubt I’ve read it and thank you. I’ll be in touch soon. Lots of love to anyone feeling the pressure this week. Dig deep. We’ve got this... I think 😞🤞🏼 @ Stuck in the Middle with You

Hello to whoever this reaches. IG is not making it easy for small businesses like me to connect with people and my posts are going unheard so if you do see this. Please share 🙏🏼

I’m sat in the car with baby Reggie finally asleep. Teething and chest cold have finally worn the little guy out. I think the enormity of entering a second lockdown with two kids, a dog and trying to keep a business afloat has just sunk in. I’m ok but feeling a little clouded and overwhelmed. So to boost my own mood and yours too I’m doing a giveaway!!! Yes. For the next 14 days I will give away 14 classes. All you have to do is tag a friend tell them why you love Pilates and share this post to your story. That’s it. Short and sweet. I’ll pick at random one person a day for next 14 days to receive a free class valid for a month. Thanks folks. Your support means EVERYTHING 🙏🏼

Don’t know the legal jargon but this competition is just run by me and is not in affiliation with Instagram or anyone but me!! 🤷🏻‍♀️😁

In case lack of toilet roll, Ocado queuing system, voting, the government, dark nights, coughs, colds, bugs and lockdown fever has got you blue. I just found this. I don’t know. I don’t have the answers but this did make me smile. I’m frantically trying to get a newsletter out to answer so many pending questions but if you have any dm me or comment below and I’ll add to the list! Sending love to everyone. We all need a big giant hug and I can’t wait to hug all those I’m missing so much.

✋🏼talking to my client this morning I’m her session and giving some advice that it turned out I really needed to hear myself. We got chatting through our session and both promised each other to immediately execute a much needed break.

“Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets… It is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.”

It’s been a really rough week. So taking so@e@of my own advice and I’ll be checking out for a much needed break. I have decided to pause classes for a week and give myself some space to breathe. It wasn’t until I made that decision and felt the weight lift and exhaled out a breath I think I’d been holding for weeks, that I realised how much this was needed. Newsletter going out this afternoon regarding the break in schedule and allowing space for some exciting new things I’ve had on the back burner to come into fruition! Until then 👋🏼😊

Using the Breath to Find Mindfulness in Movement 💫

Breath is one of the most powerful tools in calming the mind. The act of be breathing being one of Joseph Pilates’ 8 Principles of Pilates it is an essential component in every Pilates classes. Each exercise involves a particular breathing pattern which improves the effectiveness, helps to supply oxygen to the muscles and removes waste products. Pilates can aid in learning to undo the instinct that many of us have to hold your breath as we exercise (and when we are stressed or busy). Your body needs oxygen to workout and function properly. As you hold your breath you build up CO2 in your body which will cause you to fatigue faster. Holding the breath can potentially produce what is called the valsalva effect. This happens due to a sharp rise in blood pressure because a person is holding their breath, followed by a sudden drop in blood pressure. This could result in dizziness, fainting or blackout while performing an exercise.

Another result of focusing in on breathing exercises is that the brain gets a break from constantly to compiling that “to do” list or focus on the afternoon schedule of picking up the kids, getting to swimming practise or what to have for dinner! Instead, Pilates directs your focus inward for the duration of the class, focussing on the present, feeling the muscles work and reconnecting with your body.

Adding the breathing is often one of the last steps to forming the puzzle and takes concentration and practice in the beginning, but creating the habit of steady breathing from lower in your diaphragm will allow you to work longer and harder and reach your fitness goals sooner.
