Inner Strength Pilates

Pilates from Around the World: today from Christchurch Botanical Gardens. This pose might be foundational or pre-Pilates but shows how big this tree is. Even at full oppositional extension I still can't reach the sides!! What a great way though, to remember that we are looking for length not lift in our opposite arm and leg reach 😘 💛💙

Arm circles on the tower promote shoulder girdle strength; scapular control and core strength. Lean into the spring further for more challenge - remain more upright for less. Great demonstration thanks Dom 👏👏 control 💛💙

Do you ever look at other people in your Pilates class and think 'I wish I could do that' - whatever 'that' might be? Having a goal for your end game exercise is awesome. Share that goal with your instructor and let them guide you through the correct steps you need to take to get there. It probably won't be a quick journey; but it will be so rewarding to make it to the end. Make the journey class by class and celebrate the small wins along the way. Remember: with every class you are one step closer. 💛💙

I'm proud and excited to announce that I have finished another phase of continuing education and am now a Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist.

Menopause used to be such a taboo subject. The 'change of life' was something to be endured with stoic silence, and very little help was available. Today there is a much more open attitude about the subject - as there should be. Menopause is just one more phase of our life. But with it comes more challenges and changes than you might believe; particularly around how we exercise and stay healthy both physically and mentally. If you are struggling with menopause please don't be ashamed or embarassed: talk to a friend or your g.p.; ask for help; find someone like me who can help you through. You are not alone on this journey.
💛💙
