Week 2 Moms and Babies Pilates

Today we had a lovely small but full class and a few little helpers!
Our time was spent running through the fundamentals and focussing on that postnatal connection through Pilates.
We also did our best to make time to relax and be.

GUEST
🍃Today we had the very talented Lizzie from Forever Wild at Heart who shared the details of her exciting and relaxing Mamas retreats - a place where if you're expecting or have recently had a little one (or more) that ypu can spwnd some tine in nature dialling back into yourself - bliss!

UPDATE
🌟We've also had some happy news that a Postnatal Yoga session will be starting up soon so as soon as we know more we'll share here!

AIM
💪With all of these classes the most important thing is that you receive the support you need in this case through exercise and movement to support you on your journey in the 4th trimester!
Each person differs so, I'll do my best to share details of other Postnatal support here including other exercise classes :)

🏞Mindful Moments: De-stress and unwind with breathwork and stretches.

Yay so off on MAT leave for the next few months - all being well returning in September (part-time at least).

The little guy hasn't yet made his arrival, but based on the midwives' crystal ball predications it should be any time from this week onward

For those of you who really know me, I've never been one to keep time "immaculately" despite having a penchant for nice watches (although in recent years my time-keeping has certainly improved!) but here's hoping he's more Steven than me (at least in that department!)

I'm looking forward to returning to teaching Pilates and all being well will be setting up my own studio (and running virtual sessions) in the next few months - still focused on rehab, prehab, riding and all things 1-2-1 to keep you, my clients happy, healthy and stronger than ever.

Obligatory kidlet snaps soon to be issued out - 😉

Happy Monday all and hope this made you chuckle a bit ;)

Standing by a gorgeous print made by at the opening night of the Wildlife exhibition held at in St Albans.
Please come and take a look - some incredible works available!

I’ve always been an advocate for standing by what you believe in.

Even though my company is small, it’s always been my commitment to contribute to the health of our environment – we all only have one home!

I partnered with Greenpop shortly after starting my business and haven't looked back!
Our regular clients and classes have helped to plant 133 indigenous trees as part of their incredible Forests for Life project - regenerating forests, woodlands AND improving the lives of the local communities!
No Greenwashing here!

If you're keen to know a bit more about the swell work Greenpop does, take a look at my bio or see the link

TIP 3:

Continuing my post on
“Getting started or resuming exercise”, here’s this week’s tip!

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM EXERCISE? (What can it help you with?)

Similar to MOTIVATION but like one of those Maths concepts, not exactly the same! (Similar but different!)

Perhaps the idea of getting up earlier and taking advantage of the day or taking some time away from your desk job gets you amped to exercise.

Maybe, improving your sleep, overall wellbeing, enjoying nature 🌱 or a way to pass the time might be more your thing!

The same goes with your WANT to exercise.
What makes you WANT to exercise?

- More of a social aspect (sweating it out with friends on the bikes or having a group to be part of?)

-That time to TURN OFF your mind (and intrusive devices!) and tune into “the zone of optimal functioning? (“The zone” or “Flow” are also two other names for it)

- To feel better in yourself and your body (stronger, more flexible, alter your mood states?)

- Something else?

For me its about:

- stress relief,
- RESET time
- the added benefits of having a super strong body to boot!

Having long-term back issues as a result of pushing myself just THAT too far or literally running away from my problems, left me
re-evaluating my WANT and my WHY to exercise.

Pilates (as well as decent Physio and a mental mindshift as to what exercise actually means to me) have certainly helped me get back into the proverbial groove albeit from a different angle!

Not every run or Pilates session is rainbow and candy-floss scented for me mind you (some are pretty s**T to be honest) but I now enjoy the variation plus they contribute handsomely to my comedy routine!

What’s your WHAT from exercise?

My last pearl of wisdom today is this
Things in life are constantly in flux – so your (exercise) reasons now might very well change in the future. Cut yourself a break and be open to exploring change without guilt!

Me!

THE CHEST LIFT (a SUUUUPER quick look!)

Folks tend to do a variation of this one – the Crunch!
With the CHEST LIFT in Pilates, the focus is more on function and :
- control and precision,
- utilizing the abdominals (re**us abdominus and transverse abdominus to be precise!)
- Stabilize the pelvis and torso
and less on head-butting your bits, completing a thousand of these (why?!) or aiming for a huge amount of air (aka Height!)

Folks who could benefit might include:
- *Sedentary workers with a weak core
- Most athletes
- Folks who tend to have a “sway back” (lordotic lumbar spine – provided there are no biomechanical issues/ injuries at play here)
*I’d always suggest adding in exercises to work on your posture too – as we don’t want to exacerbate any “text neck” (kyphotic issues) with your back!

In the case of those with abdominal, pelvic floor, neck or spinal concerns, it is best to check in with your medical practitioner to see if they have a suitable alternative for you!

Best wishes

Me
