This morning I am off to teach Pilates at a private event in this dreamy farmhouse ๐Ÿคฉ

I have a few spaces available for private events before we move to Portugal in October ~ if you're looking for a strong morning Pilates class to wake up and energise your group, or an evening candlelit Restorative Yoga class, get in touch.

Wishing everyone a happy and restful weekend ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Advanced warning:
When you quit your day job and do what really makes your heart sing ๐Ÿ’• you may say silly things, such as 'I really don't know how I managed to squeeze in work before.'

After hustling in the recruitment industry for 13 years, I finally hung up my recruitment hat last month.

Since then, I have been working, but it doesn't feel one bit like work โœจ that is where the magic lives ๐ŸŒธ

On my way to Portugal last week to host my first ever retreat,
I was sat next to a lovely couple in their late 60's that had a BnB in the Gower, regular Portugal visitors as two of their children and their grandchild live here.
They offered me a ride as we were heading in the same direction (Lagos) and they dropped me to meet my friend. They wouldn't even take a soft mint off me as a thank you.

We exchanged numbers and they very kindly offered to introduce and connect me to people and resources, both in Portugal and the beautiful Gower, insisting I take Winnie for a little summer trip.

When they dropped me off and we said goodbye, Pippa said - by the way, Portugal looks great on you ๐Ÿ’ซ
And I know, it really does, because it feels great โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

Ever since then, it's been a door flung wide open to connecting with even more incredible, happy and humble people ๐Ÿ’ซ
living out their soul purpose and being brave and bold.

Feeling extremely grateful for clear messages and the very special group of people that have come together, via my first ever wellness retreat ๐ŸŒธ I love you all!

Follow your path โ˜€๏ธ you do know the way โœจ

When the food shop arrives ๐Ÿ˜„

I would love to be able to visit the farmers market every week, but it's just not realistic.

I arrange two Waitrose deliveries a month (weirdly Waitrose is cheaper for my shop than Sainsburys) and I don't know if anyone has noticed how happy Waitrose employees are? Our delivery driver has become a pal ๐Ÿ˜„

I then top up when I can (and often when I see anywhere appetizing enough to purchase ingredients from) - to keep the cupboards stocked with balanced, fresh and whole foods ๐Ÿ’š

As you can see, I do not limit myself to what I am 'allowed' to eat as I love ice cream and dark chocolate too much to not enjoy them.
Why punish yourself!

Finding the balance with quantities is often a challenge I see with the clients I work with.
I encourage them to be really mindful when they are enjoying food and aim to stop before feeling full. With this you avoid any fullness slumps and you also consume less ~ waste less ~ spend less!

If you're having any challenges or battles with your food shop or what you should be eating in general, I would be happy to support you on your journey ๐ŸŒธ

Wait, you can have this much fun and it's actually your job? One of those, holly s**t moments. This life does exist ๐Ÿ’›Wis...

Wait, you can have this much fun and it's actually your job?
One of those, holly s**t moments.
This life does exist ๐Ÿ’›

Wishing everyone a happy and grounding weekend, in whatever shape or form that looks like for you ๐Ÿ’š

Just 2 months until my very own Algarve retreat ๐Ÿฅฐ if you would like to step into a wellness retreat in the sunshine, I've got you! โœจ๏ธ

โœจ๏ธ PORTUGAL RETREAT UDPATE โœจ๏ธ

Hi friends! Hope you're having a wonderful start to 2024 and keeping cold as it freezes here in sunny England ๐Ÿ˜„

Excited to give an update on our April retreat to the stunning Algarve, Portugal! ๐ŸŒŽ

As you can see some of the rooms have now sold out ๐Ÿฅณ but there are still some spaces remaining!

Many of you have asked about what level of experience you need to come and join the magic, and the answer to this is none! ๐Ÿฅฐ
My classes and style is specifically designed include and support everyone, no matter of where in your practise you are at โค๏ธ

After this retreat, I guarantee that you will experience the following benefits:
๐Ÿ’ซ Feeling stronger and more confident in your Pilates and Yoga abilities
๐Ÿ’ซ A sense of peace, connection and direction for you to focus on following the retreat
๐Ÿ’ซ Making new friends! And widening your circle of connections
๐Ÿ’ซ Feeling clean both physically and mentally and also clear about your next steps and what you need to focus on to improve and deepen your practise
๐Ÿ’ซ A sense of fulfillment and achievement that you have prioritised your own wellbeing and happiness, and stepped outside of your comfort zone

If you'd like to find out more, please head to my website (www.petalsandpilates.co.uk) or feel free to get in touch if you have any queries ๐Ÿ’š

P&P Collection of practical & eco itemsโ€ฆ
These jute bags and water bottles will be available on the online shop from TOMORROW ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

I partnered with .duka on these products after trialling and testing MANY ๐Ÿ˜‚
Quality is really key for the shop, as is working with suppliers that are conscious around how they source their materials, and if theyโ€™re an employer I wanted to ensure that they pay the real living wage, etc.

Head across to the website and join the mailing list to receive 10% off your first order โ˜บ๏ธ

All the vegan soap bars have now sold out!! We will be getting some more in the new year but not before I am afraid.

Thank you for your support and I canโ€™t wait to continue to grow and expand the collection ๐ŸŒธ
