Choose pilates!!

Choose pilates. Choose a class. Choose a day. Choose a time. Choose a f**king pilates class. Choose core strength, flexibility, good posture, and a healthy spine. Choose good health, strong muscles and rock hard abs. Choose to support small business. Choose to move your body. Choose your friends in class. Choose leisure wear and wearing it to pilates. Choose a class on subscription in a range of f**king payment options. Choose pilates and stop wondering what the f**k to do on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that mat watching pilates classes in your living room on zoom, or f**king come to class at the studio. Choose between mat and reformer class. Choose to keep your local independent pilates studio in business. Choose pilates . . .

Calcium alone isn’t enough. According to researchers, magnesium may be the real key to stronger, healthier bones.

Rest mama!

What if we saw children sleeping on us as a positive? What if we viewed the babies who refuse to go down to nap as a sign that we need to slow down?

What if we changed our perceptions on contact naps, and instead viewed them as an opportunity to relax?

Baby has just fallen asleep on me. I spend a few minutes browsing Facebook and then, my mind wonders towards the dishes piling up in the sink. The pile of laundry stacked up in the bathroom. The dust that has settled on the tv. I start to feel guilty. I start thinking about work that could be done. Or food that needs to be cooked. I try to put baby down, but no way. Baby is having NONE of it.

But what if, just say, WHAT IF this is how it is SUPPOSED to be? Alright yes, we know that evolutionary babies are designed to want to be close to their mothers, but what if that is also meant to work out for the mother to rest too. It’s meant to be for OUR benefit.
To sit back for just a moment, and forget about everything else going on in life.
To take in the beauty of our children, and REST.

Rest our minds.
And rest our bodies.

Childbirth has put our bodies under some serious stress. And there are always a million things that need to be done before the day is over. Perhaps our babies and children needing us to be still with them is natures way of telling us to slow down for just a moment.

Rest mama.
Take the opportunity ❤️

The thing that I love most about this photo that you'd not know unless you were with us is the chatting and laughter that went along with these moms on the move. Delta Strollers was born out of my own experiences with pregnancy, birth and the very tricky post partum period where I was living away from my family and good friends, and it really was my mom friends who got me through. Equally sleep deprived women to go for a walk or coffee (lots of coffee - and in my case cake) with, with no judgement that you'd not put on make-up, brushed your hair, or that you still have vomit down your top from yesterday!

Last week we started Delta Strollers. It’s a little walking group for new moms to get out and about doing healthy things like walking and talking. Being a new mom is an amazing time in a woman’s life but it can be a very hard time and it’s important to know you are not alone. If you are a new mom in Joburg come and join us 👍🏻

David was my flat mate when we studied so I know for a fact just how hard working and passionate he is about helping his patients. If I’d have had my children in London I’d definitely have had David treat them! Good luck David, what an amazing idea.

Possible not the best news just before the start of the silly season but something to be mindful of none the less!

Remember how moderate drinking was once believed to be a boon to our health, our hearts and our brains? Well, thanks to a recent study, that bubble just burst.

It's my clinic gecko! I love him being there cause he keeps it mosquito free. If he's still around next week I'm going to name him! Any suggestions?
