A few of my clients have recently asked me if Pilates helped me through childbirth, and at first when asked on the spot I just remembered the very, very long labour (more than 30 hours), and thought perhaps...no not so much! 😅

However having thought a little more about it, the answer would have to be a resounding YES, it most certainly helped!!

I practised Pilates right through my pregnancy, and got straight back to it (gently at first) within days of having my little girl.

I continued to enjoy all of my favourite activities throughout the pre & post natal period - both with bump, and soon after with my little girl (she was just three weeks in this photo).

Sure I had to slow down, and modify where necessary- but Pilates I believe, was the tool that kept both my mind and body open and able to adapt to ever changing circumstances.

I believe that it helped to:

🍃 Reduce swelling
🍃 Keep joints stabilised
🍃 Maintain/regain posture
🍃 Reduce fatigue
🍃 Relieve stress
🍃 Bring a sense of calm
🍃 Build body awareness

What a wonderful story!

I really enjoyed reading about this 102-year old yoga instructor who says that her positive mindset is what keeps her going.

She also reflects something that I really believe in- doing a little each day. It doesn't need to be fancy, and it doesn't need to be perfect, but keeping some small amounts of movement practise in your every day schedule goes a long way to keeping you in overall good health 😊💪🙏

So remember...anyone who is used to my teaching already - don't forget to stand on one leg today when you brush those teeth 😉

Sometimes the simplest habits lead to the most profound results.

Have you thought about joining a Pilates class, but unsure whether it's for you?!

You may be thinking.....

"I'm a complete beginner, can I still join?"

"I've not excersied for a long time, will the class be suitable for me?"

"I'm not very flexible"

"I don't have any core strength, so will I manage??"🤔

The answer to all of the above is yes, yes and yes!

You WILL be fine, and you WILL feel a difference after the session 🤗

Still don't believe me...?

Read what my most recent newbie had to say after her first class 🙏🥰 thank you for your kind words 😊

Happy New Year Folks! 🍾

Now that we are a week into the new term, I thought I'd share a little something from our Thursday evening class @ Townley Hall, Macclesfield.

We meet every week @ 19:45, and often when new clients approach me, they will ask if the class is appropriate for them since they are new to Pilates.

The answer is always YES! 🥳 Pilates is for everyone, and I like to make sure that you will all feel comfortable to find your own pace in my classes.

In the above clips you'll notice that the main videos show a more advanced version of the exercises which some clients may start with, or move on to over a period of time. However the smaller clips show a more supported, or more gentle version which may be effective for someone who is just joining us, and looking to build up their strength more gradually.

If you'd like to join us, and find your pace to feel good - then pop me a message on here or at sarahbushmapilates@gmail.com and you can join us for a free trial session.

See you on the mat 👋
