When you have a new client who was initially so scared to move due to pain that all you do is get them to tell you about it, reassure, assess and before you know it they are moving. With no pain. And their realising, feeling that appropriate movement helps. AND they want to continue. Three sessions in and such a change in a relatively short period.

The homework was done! ( One can always tell- don't think I don't know)

Just one of those wonderful sessions today where you feel you have made a positive difference.
Pilates, Emmett and listening, observing.

Mindful Pilates session on Zoom yesterday worked so well (again) and grateful to receive so much positive feedback. Thank you. It takes only a short time for beneficial changes to the body to be felt. People reported feeling in less pain, reduced congestion and wonderfully rested and relaxed. Next session is in venue at the end of the month. Will be a slightly different slant. More to come.

I love the simplicity and efficacy of Emmett releases. Worked on a client the other day and in class the following day she told me she had managed to do " normal, functional" tasks without thinking about it and having no pain or discomfort. I think that's a pretty good outcome.

Do you have some time on a Friday , early(ish) morning? Why not try a Pilates stretch class in the large Walter Room, Bearwood rec in Mole Rd. 45mins class. 4 week course, 8.30am term time. Fun group who work hard. It is an intermediate class and progressions are always offered. You do need to have a fairly good understanding of Pilates and due to the pace of the class is not suitable for those who have movement/mobility issues or are pregnant. Happy to talk if you are in doubt.

Lovely to receive this from a Pilates client. I know Pilates can make such a difference to your body and it transfers over to your every day life and functionality so its great to see it reinforced. "I can say without hesitation that Pilates has been a huge benefit in improving my posture, strength and wellbeing over the last 5 years. Between yourself and Emma the back problems I had when ### was a (very big!) baby have been completely eliminated. You're a fantastic instructor and I daresay that as the boys grow up and our routines allow us a bit more freedom I'll be in touch again to get back onto your waiting list."

Breathing: focused practice really can help with pain management.

Chatting to a client today about Pilates and the real and sustained benefits that can be achieved with regular practice of this excellent discipline. We are in venue on certain days and rest assured, despite the removal of restrictions I still limit numbers so you have plenty of room to move and feel reassured and I can see and correct you. Zoom Pilates is offered too.

Mindful Pilates classes, online and in venue are being well received by clients. Lovely to teach and wonderful to experience. A way to "disappear" from the stress and pace of life.

Somewhat different yet no less relevant and effective CPD learning added this month. It will help me continue to support...

Somewhat different yet no less relevant and effective CPD learning added this month. It will help me continue to support, where needed, my Pilates and Emmett clients with proven resilience and positive psychology strategies. Here's what CMA has written. "COVID and its associated isolation, financial strain, fear, exhaustion, burnout and more is wrecking mental and emotional health and there’s no real, meaningful support coming to those who need who really need it. In fact, The Times here in the UK recently reported that most of us are suffering from ‘low grade depression’ and as we know, for many people it is so much more severe, and we have seen a dramatic increase in suicidal thoughts/ideation and, sadly, action."
