I'm proud and excited to announce that I have finished another phase of continuing education and am now a Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist.

Menopause used to be such a taboo subject. The 'change of life' was something to be endured with stoic silence, and very little help was available. Today there is a much more open attitude about the subject - as there should be. Menopause is just one more phase of our life. But with it comes more challenges and changes than you might believe; particularly around how we exercise and stay healthy both physically and mentally. If you are struggling with menopause please don't be ashamed or embarassed: talk to a friend or your g.p.; ask for help; find someone like me who can help you through. You are not alone on this journey.
💛💙

If it's been said once, it's been said 100 times - a small change to destabilise is all you need to up the ante of a foundation exercise. The addition of a chi ball under the supporting leg brings a much deeper challenge and connection to the obliques in this simple side-lying leg raise. Pilates - how can you not love it? 💛💙

Combining pieces of equipment together is not only fun but super-challenging! At the recent PAA Conference this workshop combining the Oov and the Wunda Chair was sensational. The creation of massive instability under the supporting arm when doing 'side lying' work on the chair certainly gave obliques, glutes, adductors and the shoulder girdle an huge workout. I love Pilates ❤️ 💛💙

Talk about being a winner at life - this week I come up trumps 😁 What an amazing adventure the last 5 days has been - Pilates conference, a cheeky last minute whale watching cruise out of Sydney harbour with plenty of whale action and the Broncos amazing win! Brilliant!

But back to Pilates - I am grateful to be able to continue my Pilates journey, and once again thanks to the PAA Conference, have found inspiration and reignited passion for the industry I love. 💛💙

Day 1 done and dusted. Ready for Day 2. This is my happy place. To me there's nothing better than learning new and exciting things about the industry; connecting with like-minded people; and put simply, just reigniting my love for all that is Pilates 💛 💛💙

ISP Pilates from Around the World - today is brought to you from right here in the land down under. Meredith gives us a cheeky teaser in Port Augusta, South Australia. Bet those rocks were hard on your bottom! I really do love that we all pose for a Pilates holiday pic....I also often wonder what the people around us are thinking 🤔 🤭 💛💙

Your husband thinks all you do at Pilates is lie around with your legs in the air.....sometimes he's right 😉 Footwork and sunshine (client's choice to have the blinds open) a perfect start to the day 💛 💛💙

My ultimate colour matching day....rainbow sticky socks and rainbow strapping tape. My world is complete - it doesn't get any better than this 🌈😍 💛💙

Challenge your balance and stability in a quadruped opposite arm and leg reach by lifting your feet from the ground. You'll be amazed how wobbly and unstable you become; and how much harder your core has to work to perform what is generally considered a relatively easy exercise! 💛💙
