It is with extreme sadness that I have to announce that I will be retiring from teaching Pilates as I embark on treatment for the stage 4 cancer that has just been discovered in my lungs, liver and bones. I have truly enjoyed my many years teaching but now must focus on my health and my family. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my Pilates journey. May your lives be filled with happiness and good health.

Technically and in medical terms, scoliosis is a deformity of the spine. But that doesn't mean I'm deformed. So what is scoliosis? We can probably define it more easily by what it is "not".

CARDIO-PILATES ON THE REFORMER: how to integrate proper Pilates into a jumpboard class

Only 9 days to go!

Add a cardio component to your reformer classes. Not only is "jumping" fun and a great workout but it also adds an extra challenge to your core stability and can work all different muscle groups.

This workshop will explore a number of different "jumping" exercises using the jumpboard, including exercises for legs, arms and abdominals in all different positions. We will also spend time looking at how to build a full one-hour class around these cardio "blocks" and how to integrate classic reformer exercises into the class as well. You will start by trying a sample class yourself and by the time you finish you will have the tools to plan your own cardio-Pilates class.

Workshop details:

Date: Sunday June 10th
Time: 1-6pm
Cost: £85
Venue: Pilates and Rehab studio Greenwich
115A Trafalgar Road
Greenwich. SE10 9TX

Multi-tasking my way: eating strawberry cheesecake (low-carb, gluten-free and sugar-free) right out of the tin while doing a quick calf stretch. Don't try this at home! http://www.elthampilates.co.uk/justjen/

Why follow a low-carb diet? My reasons are probably quite unusual but I explain all in my latest blog post...

Why low-carb? (or why fat is no longer the enemy) If you had told me three years ago that I would now be on a low-carb diet, I would have thought you were crazy. I didn’t even know what one was. I would have said the same thing that most people say to me now – “is that like the Atkins diet?”...
