Recently a number of well meaning individuals have suggested I promote myself as a "plus sized" fitness and yoga person 😳

Nothing says "you're fat" like being told to use your belly as a sales tactic

Nevertheless people do do this. There are an increasing number of "plus sized" female fitness influencers

Up to them what they do, obviously

But one should never use own body as a selling point, whatever it looks like

Because then you have to keep looking the same to make sales

Also - I never saw a male personal trainer market themself as "plus sized"

I've worked in a gym - let me tell you that the men can look an absolute state and still make sales based on their knowledge

Yes, some of them sell based on how they look

Bet it sucks when they they "hit the wall" 🤣

What my body looks like whilst going through the fu***ng menopause doesn't make me less good, it doesn't erase my experience

Ever had your trauma you didn't know you had stirred up during a public yoga class?

Yes; me too. On more than one occasion, to the point that I think that all adverts for yoga classes should include a disclaimer stating what might happen

Yoga, and indeed Pilates and other exercise can release emotions and memories stored in your body

I've just spent 7 years working through PTSD symptoms, it was no picnic

But I did this WILLINGLY (this time)

I am more than happy to teach yoga to anyone but not without informing them of the possible consequences because that's irresponsible as all f**k

There are different levels of being "trauma informed", never work with someone you aren't comfortable with

I decided to think outside the box

I literally asked an AI why a human yoga teacher is better than an AI

And it told me 🤣

I will acknowledge that actually it is better than me in a number of ways - not having ADHD issues for a start...

I think we can work together

But I'm still writing my own posts

Has AI come for your profession yet? It's come for both of mine...

This morning I saw that the magic AI fitness mirror is now available for a low monthly fee

It counts your reps, corrects your technique, tracks your progress and you can also use it to have private sessions with an elite trainer

It also even does yoga classes

It has a load of glowing reviews

It doesn't get sick, it's always positive and motivational

And I have to ask myself, how I can even compete with perfection?

I've had to compete with perfection before as a les mills instructor...

Les mills literally turn their instructors into fitness robots (robot Barbies) who thrive on making other people look inadequate - BECAUSE THATS THE POINT, you are meant to feel inadequate

One time I had a les mills presenter teach with me in my class at DLC, I was heartened by the fact that some people preferred me even though I was sh***er than them 🤣

I am also sh***er than the magic fitness mirror

PHYSICALLY

only physically

It can't teach you what I can, i guarantee it

Seeing as posts with images apparently do better I have decided to flag my posts as human written

I'm not entirely sure which this is - yoga, or Pilates...

Life advice by Mars bars in the 1980s

In order to be a functioning human you need the ideal balance of

Work
Rest
And PLAY

If you aren't consistently getting all 3

You may have an issue

Other calorific chocolate treats are available

I am autistic

One of the features of autism is a near pathological interest in a niche topic (special interest)

Mine is yoga, Pilates, fitness and healing stuff

I am literally obsessed

Every room in my house is full of fitness toys, I have a gym shed and I run the studio

I cannot really explain my expertise in any other way than I just observe and talk to you and come up with a solution based on intuition and my observations

Some people find this scary
Actually most people find this scary

I try not to be scary but I don't hide my autism as it's my autism that is helping you with your problem

My autistic profile is the same as Sherlock as played by Benedict Cumberbatch but with bigger t**s

True story:

I once had a man (hipster; beard, cork yoga mat) walk out of a class I was covering as I wasn't as f*ckable as the usual instructor

He then went to reception to complain and queried whether I was teaching "real yoga"

All because I look over the age of 21

Oh and maybe my fat belly and my autism

But definitely not my yoga skills as he left 3 minutes in

If you have joined the gym this January, don't forget that injury rehabilitation is a specialism of mine

I'll see you in February?

Other people telling you how to move puts you out of touch with your own body

I put you back in touch

Rather than you follow along and learn nothing

People attend yoga for years and don't even know anything about chakras because all they do is follow along

Yoga is being in touch with own body which is the opposite of doing what you are told in a class

OBVIOUSLY.
