Enough of all that lying around 🤣
My body is not happy about all that “resting” 🤣
So off I went to the work playground with the big chick and here she is trying swan on the barrel for the first time 👌🏼 smashing it….
We had a little groove and move together and she did remarkably well considering I was shouting instructions whilst doing my own thing across the room 🤣
Obvs real clients get the full teaching experience 🤣
Go Jos 💪🏻

Before the feeds are taken over by all things Christmas I wanted to post a little appreciation for my teachers.

Without my committed, well-trained, enthusiastic and capable team I would not be able to run The Pilates Space.

My life is very busy and they enable me to leave the studio reassured that it is in good safe hands. They support this inclusive and community driven space as if it is their own and for that I will be forever grateful.

When we opened The Pilates Space I told my community classes in Petts Wood that they wouldn’t be left behind but in truth I was unsure how I could make this commitment to two venues work with a growing family and huge business costs. My teachers have enabled me to do this and to still teach all the clients in Petts Wood that have made growing my business possible.

After the events of the last few years I am now in a position to support my teachers further and I can’t wait. They will always get their Christmas bonus but I am committed to providing them with free Sunday class every month to bring them together when their schedule allows. I am also formulating other plans to help them develop as teachers.

I remember what it was like as a young teacher trying to fund training and LIFE and afford regular class and carve out time to do it whilst also earning and building my reputation as a teacher.

Good teachers are hard to find in an industry that is flooded with short courses and surface level understanding.

I appreciate you all ladies and I hope you get an opportunity to rest over the next couple of weeks.
Thank you 🙏🏻 Mina, Leanne, Katie, Patty and Victoria.

Today we said goodbye to Richard. His family and friends gave him a beautiful send off full of love and laughter.

I have taught Richard for over 2 years as a private client. Richard had a complex neurological condition that stole his body from him. He was never going to get better. He was always fighting to just stay the same.

Teaching Richard has been one of the greatest privileges of my teaching career and I will be forever grateful that he was sent my way despite the way it felt to say goodbye.

Richard taught me way more than I can ever have hoped to have taught him. He taught me about facing adversity with balls and humour. He taught me about the depths of human resilience and about courage.
Teaching Richard was not straight forwards. Simply getting on and off the equipment took strength (his), nerves of steel (mine) and giggles. In fact we laughed ALOT. Things regularly didn’t work, or went awry and as a result I have become a more creative and open minded teacher.

After two years of procrastinating, becoming Richard’s teacher pushed me to finally commit to my comprehensive. It was clear I needed a holistic and evidence based approach to best serve him. From day one I knew it was the best decision I had made in a long time.

So many of my clients are already benefiting from what I learnt teaching Richard.

His Monday slot will remain empty and is now earmarked for my personal practice for my exam. When I pass that exam it will be in honour of this remarkable client.

Lovely Richard I will miss our chats after your sessions
(whilst I tidied up ALL the equipment I had got out) and hearing about your beautiful family Wendy, Bertie, Jess and Terry your dog.

I would say Rest in Peace but knowing you, no one will be resting with you around 🥰

It’s on the horizon.

Sometimes in the quietness of after class I take a moment to think about the day.
So much happened within the walls of class this week.
There was laughter, chronic illness, stress and anxiety that brought a client to tears, very new grief 🥹and so much good work.
Living in these shells we call home can be at times incredibly difficult but positive movement experiences make these homes more comfortable.
Moving well lightens your nervous system,it opens your heart lines, it rewires the communication in bodies that are disconnected.
My job is joyful 🥹

I give you MY SON everybody 🫣

If you have mummed all summer and juggled work and day trips and snacks and snacks and snacks and bought the uniform in the wrong sizes and had to buy more pencil cases despite having 243 perfectly good ones that aren’t “quite right”.

If you have packed for a holiday but not had a holiday. Watched the family lie in whilst you crept out to work.

If you have lived the mum guilt life of wanting to be somewhere but needing also to be somewhere else.

If you have stayed in the bath way too long just so no one asks you to do anything….

Well hi 💪🏻 Now we start again…we redress the balance we carve out a little time we put ourselves first for one hour a week….

To the lovely human who scratched their tag into my window on Friday night I won’t waste any energy or headspace on you and leave retribution to karma because it always gets you in the end.

I don’t run my shutter down as I have this lovely tribute to my mum painted by the fantastic .art on my window and it has welcomed me to work and brightened my day during the toughest 18 months.

I was lucky to have fantastic parents that brought me up to be kind, compassionate and respectful.

So today I send out gratitude only 🙏🏻

Btw there are some great cctv images knocking around 🧐😂👌🏼

Karmas coming …..
