✨️ International Women's Day 2026 ✨️
This years theme is 'Give to gain'. My interpretation of this is giving support, celebrating women's successes, helping others to succeed, sharing knowledge and encouragement. With the gain being connection, opening circles to new opportunities and creating enjoyable atmospheres for growth and fun.
This is exactly my ethos when teaching Pilates - an open, non-judgemental, inclusive space where you can thrive in practice, and maybe even have a little giggle.
The second picture is a true representation of this in action. A group of women (including me!) who gave their time to support each other through their first enduro mountain bike race. There were nerves, there was imposter syndrome and there was a lot of whooping. Every single one of us came away absolutely buzzing from that female collective of cheerleading and encouragement.
Here's to the all the women on IWD2026. Please take a moment to give, gain and celebrate yourselves ✨️
