Super excited to be part of the Heart Movement right now... only we have a BUS! Yup, you heard it hear, our mindfulness bus will provide a safe space for anyone and everyone who would like a little piece of headspace after such turbulent year.

Enjoy mindfulness sessions and explore how biofeedback tools can show you just how powerful these practices are on your body (and mind!).

Have a look at the schedule to see if we're coming to a city near you, we hope to see you there!

"Good morning my dear Zebra!" The small bird who greeted his old friend the zebra in such a friendly fashion was sitting in Ali the crocodiles wide open jaws and picking remnants of food out of his teeth.

The zebra looked at him with a terrified expression, took a step backwards and then ran away.

"But zebra, you don't need to be afraid of me! We've always..." The bird looked at the crocodile, "what's up with him? Do you know?"

Ali shook his head "no idea. Zebras are strange animals".

In this stressful world of work, deadlines and keeping up with the Jones' it's quite easy to see how our bodies react by fleeing, when in reality there is no real danger. We're not designed to flee, fight or freeze unless our lives depend on it, and daily living shouldn't constitute a threat!

If you're constantly feeling like you're in survival mode, then now is definitely the time to stop and recharge. Let us help you let go of stress, and more importantly give you the tools to keep it at bay. Join us on our specialist 5 day Mind-Body Retreats and enjoy drinking from the watering hole of life!

Something new on the market to aid arm and hand stimulation, which at £199 is cheaper than most, but still pricey for some. If any of my STARTfit stroke rehabilitation clients are interested then let me know; if enough of you want to try it then I will invest and you can have a go! Let me know!

The SaeboStim Micro provides sensory electrical stimulation (SES) to the arm and hand using a specialized Electro-Mesh Garment. The unique Electro-Mesh material is not only soft and comfortable to wear at rest, but also during activities.

It's wonderful to see the fabulous work ARNI achieve being appreciated. Proud to be an ARNI instructor and help stroke survivors regain their independence.

If you know friends or family, days, months even years post stroke that want help towards rehabilitation and change then there is probably an ARNI instructor near you. Message the Arni Board or call stroke solutions direct to see how we can help.

“ARNI helped me recover from my stroke: help them support all stroke survivors at a great party! https://t.co/2VBIg31oWU ”

Whatcha doin on 14th September 2016...?! Fancy helping a stroke survivor attend an exclusive ARNI Party in Mayfair, London?! Or if you can, come along yourselves!

Join us for champagne, Mr Fogg’s cocktails and a private view of the incredible LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair from 6pm – 8.30pm. Canapés will be served and you will have the opportunity to mix with guests and friends while you enjoy everything the Fair has to offer!

We have just 500 tickets available, so please secure yours this weekend! These will all go within a couple of weeks so do please make sure you are on the guest list now.

Come and meet celebrities who support ARNI, including Sir Ben Kingsley and Andrew Marr, who are helping us to mark 15 years of working for stroke survivors, to fundraise via this Reception. Afterwards, please stay for dinner created by a celebrity chef, and a host of exclusive money-cannot-buy auction prizes and experiences directed by Philip Mould.

If you can’t come, PLEASE help us by visiting www.arni.uk.com/lapada and get a half or full ticket anyway. We can then allocate this to a stroke survivor to enjoy a wonderful night that they may not otherwise have been able to manage – your generosity is hugely appreciated!!

Stroke affects 4 out of every 5 families. This is a shocking statistic. ARNI works hard, on donations alone, to help people to effectively regain practical functional skills and become as self-sufficient as possible. Please help us to continue helping stroke survivors to rehabilitate…

To book tickets telephone 020 3758 3330 : Email party@arni.uk.com : or online at www.arni.uk.com/lapada

We look forward to seeing you there! Do forward this to a friend too and invite them to come too.

Or, if you can’t come, please be kind and help a stroke survivor to come along to enjoy the Party… and help fundraise as you do this… A HUGE THANK YOU! www.arni.uk.com/lapada

All the best,

Natasha.

If you missed this a few days ago on my last post then make sure you have a read; stroke doesn't just happen to the over 60s...

I met this young chappy today at the ARNI CPD training day; an absolute trooper with a fantastic determination to recover from his stroke. A testament to what you can achieve when you stay focussed and PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!!

Student Alex Valentine, 21, from Dorset, could run 20 miles before he suffered from a stroke in May last year. He has had to relearn how to talk and walk but is determined to run again one day.

Nice bit if CPD at the training day in Lingfield. Bit of posing with the 'guns out', a Tash and Tom tradition (or getting the Tommy guns out with Tash Mc Tash, and it was described today...)! Great to see the new instructors working their magic and well done to all the wonderful stroke survivors for getting up and trying out the ARNI approach; some FANTASTIC 'firsts' today for many people!!! Great to catch up with the old cohort too ;)

If you'd like to know more about stroke rehabilitation in your area, or know someone who may benefit from some further exercise development, then get in touch; you may be surprised at what we can do to help!

Remember, you're aiming for less then 5g of sugar per digestive sitting, and no more than 25g of sugar per day... 2 cans of these drinks and that's your entire daily allowance of sugar done... That's without a single meal...! STARTfit:SMARTfit! Know what you're slurping!!!
