10 benefits of Pilates and how it can help you:
3 - Improves posture
People are often aware that their posture isn't great or could be better but they don't know how to make changes so that it improves and lasts.
Changes people notice often say they notice from doing pilates:
They can sit in a chair for longer without having any aches and pains where previously sitting was uncomfortable or they seized up.
They can get down on the floor and play with grandchildren more easily
They can do tasks around the house or in the garden with less aches and pains or noises when they move
They can bend down to put on their socks and pants really easily where previously this might have been a struggle.
They notice they can stand a little taller and often people ask if they have got taller, or notice that something has changed but they can’t work out what.

8 meditation before bed
This is something I talk about a lot. Meditation is a great tool to help you feel calmer, and more relaxed but also improve sleep quality. I personally find meditating before I go to sleep for anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes helps me to sleep so much better.
I know from my techie watch that I get more REM sleep - the time when your body is healing and recovering. I wake less in the night and if I do it is much easier to go to sleep.
If you would like to know more about this please follow me at or just reach out.

6 plan the day before.
People often say to me they wake in the night and have lots of thoughts running through their mind or they struggle to switch their minds off when it is time to sleep.
I would recommend having a notepad by your bed so you can write those things down and literally get them out of your head. Also, I think if I have planned and written down the things I need to get done the next day I personally find I am more productive during my day but also can go to sleep easier.
You could make this part of your winding down for bed routine

Carrying on with our tips to sleep better.
Do you find yourself waking with aches and pains?
Don't sleep very well?
Following on from yesterday - today we are talking shoulder and head position.
Ideally, you don't want your head too far forward (common if you sleep in a fetal-like position) or twisted shoulders and a rounded back.
Most people when they are standing have their shoulders over their hips and neck in line with the rest of their spine. As much as possible you want to start off in this position when you go to sleep. If we spend less time in less ideal positions this can help to reduce aches and pains and help you to move easier when you wake.

Carrying on with our tips to sleep better.
Do you find yourself waking with aches and pains?
Don't sleep very well?
Today's tip aims to help you wake refreshed and moving well 🙂
When you are sleeping ideally when you go to sleep you want your shoulders, hips and knees stacked so there is no twisting or stretching.
We know you are going to fall asleep and change your position but if you start in a better position for a couple of hours this might help you to have fewer aches and pains in the morning.
To help you maintain this you might like to try a pillow between your knees if you are a side sleeper or a pillow behind your knees if you are a back sleeper.
