Joseph Pilates famously said ..

“You are only as young as your spine, if your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old, if it is completely flexible at 60, you are young”

Movement is the key …
Let movement be the gift to yourself.

Big Twist on the Trapeze - lovely rotational pull through the spine.

Requiring strength into the back of the legs, shoulder girdle and arms.

Oooo we love a spine stretch 🙆‍♀️

I recently had to spend time working from home on a computer, at a desk, being completely involved in what I was doing time flew by and before I knew it, it was dark! When I got up I could hardly move - ok, I know what you are saying… why sit there for so long… true, but it did get me thinking about all those office workers / workers from home. Somehow you don’t think they would suffer as much but actually sitting still for long periods of time plays havoc on the body!
Let’s move! 💃🕺

Have you ever noticed someone trip, and no matter how much they stumble they never touch the floor?
Amazing right? How the body quickly reacts to given situations. We must continue to challenge the body with movement.
Balance, co-ordination, agility, flexibility, strength.
Use it or lose it 💃🕺

Rowing 1 on the Reformer - we had fun in class exploring the lift in the waist as you circle the arms. How much longer can you get your curve to lift up and out of your hips 🤔… whole new ball game 🙌

Who would have known that Suzanne has a history of back surgery 🤔
You go girl! 🔥🔥🔥

Unfortunately knee, hip and back surgery are all too common, but the good news is is that you can build strength and stability to support the joints and get you functional again.

It’s a shame but all too often we see people who have had surgery but feel lost in terms of what they should be doing to recover and they feel unsupported.

It’s not just about the surgery but also about finding the confidence to move again.
You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve 💪

Down Stretch - Reformer. This exercise would never have been available to her 2 years ago! Amazing! 🤩👏👏
This is determination and consistency.

Remember Pilates is an ongoing practice, everyday is a day to discover something new, if you just listen to your body.

Does anyone else feel sad that it’s all over? 🥲

Christmas doesn’t have to be all consuming and stressful, it’s what you make of it.

Stopping for a moment
Sharing
Reflecting
Laughing (a lot!)
Indulging (a little)
Enjoying the sparkle
Being silly

I hope you all had a good one what ever you got up to. 🎄🎄🎄🎉🎉🎉
