Pilates isn’t just about learning new exercises. It’s about learning your body.

The el be teaching method helps the deeper systems switch back on - the ones you hold through everything else you do.

Save this to return to when things feel uneven.
Share it with someone who might need a gentler way in.

All my ups from this week! A few downs which I didn’t capture (teething baby which has meant little sleep and a lot of crying, teaching five hours on Friday on no sleep and a hang over (!) )

When we need to zone in and quiet the noise, these are the listens we reach for.

Whether it’s a reminder to slow down, a mindset shift, or just that comforting voice in your ear, a good podcast can ground you just as much as a good stretch.

Hit play, breathe, move, and let the noise quiet itself. Share this post to fellow podcast lovers.

Add the cumin, paprika, chilli powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.

SIMMER
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavours come together and the soup slightly thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

SERVE
Ladle into bowls and top with avocado slices, shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips or strips, and chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges for extra zing.
