Meet Milena all the way from Brazil!

The other day she impressed me with her beautiful shoulder protraction 👌

The scapula is gliding on the rib cage — not collapsing forward.

Strong trapezius, rhomboids and posterior deltoid
create support, control and ease in the shoulder girdle.

If your neck and shoulders feel constantly tight,
it’s often not stretching you need — it’s strength.”

This exercise is being performed on the reformer at the lovely ‘Cotswold Pilates Club’ in Cleeve though it can easily be done at home with a band or weights!

Hello lovely people,

I’ve been offered the opportunity to run a 6-night retreat at Molino del Rey in Andalusia from May 11th–17th 2026 following a late cancellation at the centre. This means I can offer the retreat at a reduced overall cost, while keeping everything that made it such a special place last time.

What’s included:
• 6 nights accommodation
• Daily buffet breakfast and evening meal (vegetarian)
• Airport transfers included
• Daily mindful movement sessions in a peaceful rural setting

Accommodation options & prices:

💫 Twin Room for Sole Use – £995
A spacious room all to yourself, offered at a reduced rate due to late availability.
Usually £1,347
There are 9 rooms available at this rate.

Single Room – £1,027

Twin Room (shared) – £927 per person

Deluxe Room (shared) – £1,100 per person

Deluxe Room for Sole Use – £1,197

The Deluxe Rooms are Double Bed only.

A £150 non-refundable deposit secures your place.
I’ll need confirmation by the end of this week so I can finalise arrangements with the venue.

If this date and location have been calling to you, this is a lovely opportunity to step away, move well, and reset in the Andalusian sunshine.

Movement today is a gift.
Independence tomorrow is the reward.

Yesterday whilst chatting post class a client made a very profound ( and amusing ) comment about getting old.
It went something like -

“I want to exercise now so that when I’m older I don’t have to rely on anyone to clean up after me. I want that to be the job for me and me only!”

I thought that just about sums up a lot of things beautifully!

We don’t often talk about this bit…
But not moving our bodies doesn’t just affect us.

Loss of strength, balance and mobility can quietly chip away at independence — and before we know it, someone else has to step in.

That might be a partner.
A child.
A friend.

People we love, suddenly put in the uncomfortable position of doing things for us that we once did ourselves.

This isn’t about fear.
And it’s definitely not about perfection.

It’s about choice.

Every time we move — stretch, strengthen, challenge balance — we’re investing not just in our own freedom, but in easing the load on the people around us.

A few hours a week of mindful movement now…
can mean dignity, autonomy, and lighter shoulders all round later on.

Future you — and your people — will be quietly grateful.
