I have loved our holiday in Italy, 🇮🇹. The elegant Italian expression 'Il dolce far niente' translates as sweetness of doing nothing, resonated with me this holiday! Our friends have the most beautiful house tucked away in the mountains in Palombaro, and our 3 day road trip took us to Bari, Polignaro, Monopoli and Matera. I so value the quality time with my hubby, good friends, the detox away from my phone along with the chance to reset and recharge and read a good book! The food has been divine and people we have met so warm and welcoming. I will be truly sad to have to return home, but have many treasured memories.

Pilates Reformer Training was pretty intensive. I have learnt so much, and feel exhausted from 2 days of practice. The Reformer offers a more dynamic class but still focuses on mobility, strength and flexibility and with that emphasis on core stability and alignment. Lots more work ahead on my assessment next month.

6 months ago I started my first Pilates class at Harold Hill Community Centre. I have built up some loyal clients and the changes I have seen in their fitness and confidence to move, strength and balance in their bodies is immense. The friendly and supportive feel we had added is why I wanted to teach Pilates.☺️ I worked so hard to fill the class,.. leafleting, posters, social media, speaking to many people and groups across the area . but still I struggled to fill my class. I am sure there are many people across Harold Hill that would benefit from Pilates, but even with all my determination and efforts (and my clients helping too), we didn't manage to encourage more people to come to class. So, today I made the decision to cancel this class. I cried as I did this😢. I am starting to realise there are are many barriers in the UK today which makes new Health and Wellness Teachers struggle to fill classes. I am processing this, but will not give up. I sincerely would love to thank my HH clients and the Community Centre Team for all their support. 🙏 I will continue on my journey.. as my clients know they all need to roll up and get put of bed the Pilates way. 💕
