🙏💕

Emily Altneu gave her mother, Jane, the ultimate gift - a kidney ❤

Jane became the first Londoner to receive a transplant once surgeries resumed after the pandemic’s second wave brought organ donations to a halt.

Jane, a former teacher, was forced to retire early when polycystic kidney disease, a genetic condition, caused her kidneys to fail.

After years of managing the condition, a transplant became her only option and thanks to Emily, Jane was given a new lease on life.

The transplant took place at St George’s Hospital and as they approach their fourth 'kidneyversary' the generous pair are raising money for St George's Hospital Charity as a thank you to the dedicated renal team that supported them.

Emily, a Pilates instructor, is hosting a Pilates class, which is suitable for all abilities, on Wednesday 26 February from 6-7pm.

Please email Emily to sign up for the class at hello@emilyaltneupilates.com and you will be sent details on how to join the online class.

At the end of February it is my four year kidneyversary.
To mark the event I will be running a charity Pilates class suitable for all levels. Please come along, donate what you can, and celebrate this day with me by moving your body and feeling good!
🩷🤩💪 The Pilates Class 🩷🤩💪

WHEN: Wednesday 26th February

WHERE: On zoom - join from anywhere🙌

TIME: 6-7pm U.K time

Suitable for all levels

The renal service at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, London is one of only seven in London offering inpatient, outpatient and home therapy services for all patients – from those with pre kidney failure all the way to kidney transplants.

Currently on site dialysis has been moved to mobile units which has reduced capacity and added strain and stress to patients and staff.

The hope is to fund a specifically designed space within the Courtyard Clinic capable of treating a greater number of short stay renal patients at any one time, serving a population of 2.6 million from across South West London and Surrey.

What a special Sunday!⁠⁠⁠
Thank you so much to my clients for making Portobello Pilates and Platefuls such a beautiful afternoon. We had such a gorgeous day. A restorative Pilates session to start the day taught by yours truly. A few more joined our clan. A quick shopping spree Ledbury road. London was showing off for October - mild with moments of sunshine. What more could you ask for? ⁠⁠⁠
We finished our afternoon at the gorgeous where chef Roei treated us to a beautiful array of dishes. Beautiful produce by and olive oil by ⁠ helped elevate the dishes to another level! The whole event was plant based. A celebration of health and well-being.
⁠
Our lucky guests go to to go home with the most wonderful goodie bags. More shout outs to our supporters in the next posts. ⁠⁠⁠
I have to say I feel so lucky to have the clients I do. I am so happy to share my love of Pilates, health and wellbeing with these wonderful, giving, kind and joyful people. I can't wait to do the next one!

Getting organised is a sign of self respect.⁠⁠⁠
⁠I always talk about scheduling in Pilates to your day like it is a meeting you can't miss. It's a meeting between you and your body. ⁠⁠⁠
I can't wait to share my Pilates video library with you. It launches this week. All the classes are designed to fit in with your busy life. Some classes are twenty minutes, some are thirty. They're all a manageable length but are designed to help you feel you've achieved a great workout (or feel properly stretched and restored if you pick that type of class!) You can achieve a lot in a short space of time.⁠⁠⁠
See you on the mat⁠ 💃

Schedule Pilates into your week⁠⁠
It's important to find time to move your body. My online Pilates classes are small group classes where I provide individual cues and feedback. It's a space where clients can learn and improve their personal practise. I tailor the class to the group and always provide options. Pilates will help you get back to the things you love or help you stay doing them. ⁠Come along and see why I love it!⁠⁠

✨Today is our two year kidneyversary. I donated my kidney to my mum on February 24th 2021 St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust⁠
We will never forget the amazing team who took care of us. The saying ‘it takes a village’ still rings true. We will remember you forever. The NHS continue to take care of us. It’s actually very therapeutic for me that I get to have an annual check-up at the same hospital. I think of how far I have come since I needed the help of two nurses to get out of bed. Of course, I think of what I still have to regain. I guess that’s how my brain is wired and how a lot of us stay motivated. It’s good to be happy in the present today.⁠⁠
I am so grateful to all my lovely clients, employers, friends, and family for their support before, during and after the process. Thank you for your continued support at fundraisers and even the simple well wishes and check ins. It means so much. I am so lucky to have that care and continued support from you all. I don’t take it for granted. ⁠⁠
Would I do it all again? Absolutely. It is so amazing to see my mum feel herself again. It honestly feels like one of the reasons I was put on this planet. Do I expect you all to donate your kidney? No, I don’t. (However, if you feel inspired to do so please reach out and I'd be happy to talk to you more about my process.) Do I hope that this post might inspire you to donate however you feel able? Yes, I do. Please consider giving blood. Most people can give blood if they are fit and healthy (and the snacks and free parking are always a bonus!) You can donate plasma. You can join the British Bone Marrow Registry.⁠⁠
💝I encourage you all to Share Your Wishes about organ donation with your friends and family. It is imperative that wherever you live in the UK you must share your organ donation wishes as it will make the decision for your families that much easier at a dark and difficult time. That conversation could lead to lives being saved one day. Leave them certain. Please register your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register💝⁠⁠
This day is a celebration that I would love to share with all of you. Thank you for being there.✨

Gorgeous sunshine today but the pay off - it's cold! Currently 4 degrees in Wimbledon. Spring is still a little way off..⁠⁠⁠
Fancy getting your heart moving from the comfort of your own home? I have recorded two 30 minute mat classes for February. Sometimes it's hard to find the time to attend an hour's class - but 30 minutes is much more manageable. One class is standing work or using the swiss ball if you have. The second class uses simple equipment (the band, massage ball and soft ball) for effective release, centre work and stretch.⁠⁠⁠
