24.01.2022 These two things are so interesting when you step back and become the observer of your own behaviour and patterning. So much stuff can be identified here.....so much stuff that requires healing of self. Oh, the shackles and limitations we place upon ourselves!!!! What old belief system do you need to let go to enable you to move forward?... Judgement is so soulless, it is the ego justifying. Who are we to judge others, they are on their own journey of discovery.... so be kind, gentle and loving. #aphrodites_thread #beempoweredpilates #over40blogger #livinginthepast #happinessiseverything #retrainyourthinking #selfreflections #leavethepastbehind See more
23.01.2022 Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful words of support over the last four days. I made it home today to continue on this road to recovery and healing. I got a sneaky peak today at the aftermath and it is just how I left them 19 years ago and I feel so bloody proud of these girls. They fed and nourished four beautiful babies, and I love them now more than ever. ... Breast implant illness (BII) is a real thing and I wanted to share that with you and to give strength and support to others going through this illness. In a world that can be so very superficial, it is time we learned to love what we have. Empower yourself with knowledge, stop comparing yourself to someone else. For heaven's sake the photoshopping that goes on is crazy and what you see, it is not real. You are real, be an individual and wear it with grace. Who cares if you have one boob bigger than the other that is completely normal!!! I have no boobs now, I don't care! My health and well-being is so much more important. You are beautiful in every single way. #aphrodites_thread #beempoweredpilates #privatepilatesclasses #pilateslovers #selflove #selfcare #breastimplantillness #explant See more
23.01.2022 Principles of Pilates. It is my job to facilitate all of these principles into an effective movement sequence to help strengthen your body as the whole. It is hard to believe that you can do the majority of a movement series laying on your back. Concentration ... Centering Breathing Control Precision Flow Isolation Routine Breath Flow Single leg lift - this is one of my favourite movements as I am able to feel any imbalances within my body especially my hips It works the buttock muscles, backs & fronts of thighs, sides of the waist, tummy, core and lower back just to name a few.

20.01.2022 Happy Friday!! Yesterday this happened! It has been 19 years too long. I could not live any longer feeling the way I had been for the last 19 years. It has now been 24 hours and can not believe how amazing I feel. Breast implants are toxic to the body and I am living proof. I have been suffering the effects that had become somewhat normal until I stated listening to my intuition. ... If you have them, look after yourself, if you are looking at getting them, talk to me!!!!!! Have a beautiful weekend Love to all #aphrodites_thread #beempoweredpilates #pilateslovers #selflove #privatepilates #breastimplantillness #breastexplant See more

16.01.2022 This morning I went for a walk to stretch the legs, smell the fresh air and reset my thoughts. Along the way, my awareness was drawn to the sounds of someone practising on their violin. The sound was bittersweet, it had a tone of eeriness, yet so beautiful. We live not far from what would normally be a very busy flight path, today the sky was quiet. The sounds of dogs barking have ceased, maybe due to their owners working from home. The bu...tterflies are dancing everywhere. The sounds of birds that I have never really seen or heard in the neighbourhood are now making themselves known. It is when we take ourselves out of the altered state of reality and become present we are able to appreciate and value the simplicity. The sound of silence Is anyone else noticing special little things that they have not noticed before? Love, love, love to you all. #aphrodites_thread #beempoweredpilates # privatepilatesclasses #pilateslovers #begrounded #gratitude #reflection #persepective See more

14.01.2022 When reflecting on a conversation I had with some uni friends, I became concerned about what we as a society are feeding the minds of our young people. The discussion was focused on getting to know our fellow cohort in preparation for the coming three years. The questions asked were - have you studied before, have you been at uni and what did you study. What I discovered from this conversation was that not all had continued with other... degrees with other universities as they were scared away from study. The very people whom they should trust and look up to for guidance and reassurance were the very people telling them that they will not pass the subject and that only a very small group will continue past first year due to the workload. This is irresponsible of those tutors. Surely it is the individuals own purpose to discover whether the degree suits them? How many times have your heard stories about people who did not have the academic ability but through determination and hard work they achieved their dreams? What kind of mindset is this setting for these young enthusiastic people? This is a thinking that is embedded in their minds before they even start? Failure!!! It is interesting that when you become more mindful that these things become more prevalent every day. I am able to see and hear deeper meanings and what effects they can have - not only on these young people but what we ourselves have experienced in our lifetime that has had profound effects on our daily function. What we feel and think is what we experience. It rattled me, to say the least!

13.01.2022 Never slouch, as doing so compresses the lungs, over crowds other vital organs, rounds the back, and throws you off balance. Joseph Pilates This is something we can all be guilty of, especially when we are fatigued from sitting for extended periods - if we are weak through our torso and core. An emotional state of disempowerment can also contribute to this, especially when you are stressed or overwhelmed. This is another way to create an imbalance and cau...se injury within the body. Your body language is a form of communication, so take note of how you are feeling. This is also a great way to practice mindfulness through self reflection. Are you using your best posture??? xx Be empowered and show your empowerment through great posture, it oozes your confidence before you even open your mouth. #beempoweredpilates #aphrodites_thread #posturecorrection #privatepilates #pilatesinstructor #matpilates #healyourbody #functionalmovements #alliedhealth See more
12.01.2022 Happy Autumn This month we will be focusing on mindfulness and how it can assist you especially when you find it hard to quiet the mind from the effects of stress and anxiety. We will provide you with a few simple tools and techniques so you can easily practice and implement into a daily routine. Love is a state of Being.... Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it can not leave you. It is not dependant on some other body, some external form. Eckhart Tolle Do you practice mindfulness? What is your favourite tool when practicing mindfulness? #aphrodites_thread #beempoweredpilates #pilateslovers #mindfulness #selflove #thepowerofnow #mindfulnessmarch #selfcare See more
11.01.2022 To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders - Lao Tzu The concept is so simple, yet can be such a challenge to achieve when we are living without meaning - when we are living from an external perspective, rather than looking within for love and nourishment. If the flower no longer blooms, you need to look at where it is gaining its nourishment?... This is a wonderful analogy to gently remind us to reflect and check in from time to time. Especially when we are feeling emotionally drained, physically tired or stressed and anxious . Check in points can be; * How is your sleep? * Are you nourishing your body with good food choices? * How are you feeling emotionally? * Are you moving your body daily, even if it is walking the dog? * Are you having enough you time? Going through this check-in process can be enlightening and very healing, as you are acknowledging what is happening in your world that may be having a profound effect on you health and well-being. #aphrodites_thread #beempoweredpilates #over40blogger #pilatesmatworkout #pilateslovers #mindfullnessmarch2020 #selflove #selfcare #privatepilatesclasses #heal See more
07.01.2022 Happy Friday everyone! Not much planned for me this weekend other than my head in books, some pilates and a walk somewhere to clear my head so I can start again. In light of everything that is going on around us, and around the world it is important to keep up your healthy eating, meditate and move your body in some way every day. Get out in the fresh air smell the roses and keep your thinking positive. ... Practice mindfulness. With this massive shift in consciousness, I thought some beautiful words from Eckhart Tolle was a fitting takeaway from the week to move forward with the life we wish to continue to lead. The beginning of freedom is the realisation that you are not the thinker. The moment you start watching the thinker, A higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realise that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realise that all the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.

04.01.2022 Grandparents day!!!! Today I had the pleasure to attend grandparents day with my gorgeous little friend Penny! We had so much fun Not only was I a surrogate grandparent for Penny but ended up with additional children that didn’t have their grandparents to share the morning with. Practice makes perfect ... Very surreal even thinking that this could be a possibility in my life. With all of my children being of age means this could be real! I still need 5 yrs to prepare, not yet !!!!!! I have always felt I needed at least a 5 as the first digit of my age before I become a grandparent #aphrodites_thread #beempoweredpilates #ageisonlyanumber #olderandwiser #youngatheart #livingourbestlife #feelingblessed
03.01.2022 What are your feelings right now, are you feeling vulnerable, scared or at peace with the world around us? This is a huge question and I am sure every one of us is going to have a story to tell on the impact it is having. As you know, I am one who uses my intuition to guide my way like a ship in the night, navigating around the universal waters of life. It is something I have learned to trust and understand over the years. ... We can choose to use this time wisely or become the cannonball of destruction - so to speak. What we think is ultimately our reality. If we look at the big picture, life is precious, you are precious, we are precious. This historical event is a time to cherish what we have and strengthen or let go of what we no longer need. In essence it is a time of shedding. You are the only one who can control your life through your thinking and actions, you can choose to be anything on the emotional scale wether it be happy, frustrated or sad. Is what you are allowing yourself to feel adding benefit or is it consuming you? This unfolding event or speed bump, has hit my family on a materialistic level and with immediate profound effects. We have chosen to embrace this time to slow down and prepare for the beautiful new things that will unfold from the changes and rebirthing process, that without question will always happen when our existence is altered in some way. Remember this is a passing moment in the illusion of time. Love will conquer, be kind, and support those most vulnerable. #aphrodites_thread #beempoweredpilates # See more
