25.01.2022 A qualified pilates instructor with additional qualifications in barre - pre/postnatal preferred! Ideally to teach a couple of classes a week including Fitball and Sculpt classes. Needs to be able to open/close our studio with up to date qualifications and insurance.
24.01.2022 A Gentle Pose to Quiet Your Mind: Child’s Pose More than a rest stop, Child's Pose requires you to surrender to gravity and a state of non-doing. In Balasana (Child's Pose), the shape of this pose forces the front of the rib cage to compress which increases the internal abdominal pressure or, frontal breathing, which is the adopted pattern for most of us. ... In this resistance you will confrontpossibly for the first timethe notion of breathing somewhere other than the front of your lungs, we are avoid distending your belly as you inhale. As the frontal ribs are compressed, the space our internal organs consume can be restrictive and the compression of the abdomen against the thighs limits the diaphragm. This encourages breath to flow to the back body with soft even flow. During Balasana, we encourage slowing the inhalation and exhalation of the breath -- lengthen it! Some say this is a narrowing of the breath and it moves toward the spine, toward the sushumna nadi. The word nadi comes from the Sanskrit root nad, meaning movement. Take a moment. Pause. Breathe. Even rest has a purpose.
24.01.2022 2020 is nearly over - but that does not mean we need to wait till 2021 to start our fitness journey! Starting a new health and fitness journey means it can be hard to find and maintain the motivation to start working out. Even I find that my fitness motivation often comes in waves; there will be days when you can’t wait to start your workout, and other days when you simply don’t want to move. In these moments of " I don't want to move" I say - just be present on your mat and... it will do the mind a world of good! It can be easy to get discouraged about exercising if you genuinely don’t enjoy it. When you’re busy, or you feel tired, you might feel more like sitting on the couch than gearing up for either a studio class or ZOOM session. 8 ways to find your fitness motivation: * Write down the barriers to starting - no matter how small * Plan ahead with your schedule to commit to classes * Choose a training style you enjoy! * If you are pressed for time; keep your workout short (or choose one of our express classes) something is better than nothing * Create a routine - even if it just one small change! * Find a friend and workout together! * Wear what you love - use a mat you love. It your wardrobe or fitness equipment is fun you will enjoy your workout way more! * Connect with your fitness community. Get to know the others you workout with in your class (this helps with accountability) See you on the mat!

So if you need a break from the cheese boards and bubbles (or the in-laws) please remember to book your classes early and we will see you there!

22.01.2022 The reward at the end of any workout is the cool down and the release of all our muscles. Watching our stretching form is just as important as the form during our exercise. Although tightness can occur during the front of your hip, remember that the psoas minor and major muscles originate from the base of your thoracic and lumbar spine. We never want to collapse through the lower b...ack when trying to achieve a hip flexor stretch! This will just load accessory muscles and may injure others rather than lengthen. We encourage you to keep your abdominals engaged and lengthen through the lower spice for a delicious and effective stretch! See you on the mat soon! See more
22.01.2022 This workshop here with @suzanneayris . . We had the most amazing Sunday learning the middle-eastern style of dance + fitness!!

This will become a regular part of our timetable very soon But first - another workshop! See more
22.01.2022 Kale and Parmesan Pull Apart Bread Bread gets a bad wrap - and all too often we are told we should not eat it (ever) and I think that in moderation it is perfect! Some types of bread are certainly more nourishing than others; choosing a denser style bread, or one with plenty of grains, is a good way to ensure the bread you choose is nourishing. ... A good rule of thumb is the heavier the bread, the more nutrition and dietary fibre. If you’re buying bread from the supermarket, aim for fewer ingredients (or ingredients that you recognize as food) and you can look for no preservatives. For this recipe you need: BREAD: 1 tsp instant dried yeast, 1 tbs honey, 3 cups plain bread and pizza flour, 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil, 2 1/2 tbs Greek-style yoghurt, 2 tsp sea salt flakes, 2 tbs pepitas Kale Pesto: 1 bunch kale, leaves stripped and chopped, stalks sliced, 1/2 cup pepitas, 2 tsp sea salt flakes, 3 garlic cloves, 50g parmesan, roughly chopped, 1 lemon, juiced ,/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbs wholegrain mustard PM me if you would like the HOW TO / INSTRUCTIONS. Happy Cooking!

20.01.2022 SAVASANA love in all it's variations! Ending our yoga classes in savasana is the part of class that all our members look forward too! Although it looks easy, Savasana (Corpse Pose) has been called the most difficult of the asanas. Many of us enjoy (and can push through) the challenges of balance, bending, and twisting through class but truly struggle with just lying on the floor. The reason is that the art of relaxation is harder than it looks.... This posture is more than just the end of class- it calms the mind and body as well as the central nervous system, aiding the digestive and immune systems. It assists with reducing stress, headache, fatigue and anxiety. Savasana does not always need to be laying flat on our back; we can explore lots of variations in our classes. Everyone is different, our bodies are different and we relax differently!

19.01.2022 "We are only as young as our spine feels" joseph pilates - and these words are so true! Our prone back extension work targets and strengthens the back muscles, improves posture and enhances your core strength and improves the stability of the spine. We can open the shoulders and mid-spine to correct the posture that can be created from sitting during the day or being hunched over while working. Adding in a little band work for some added resistance!

14.01.2022 Work It & Make that Booty Bounce At AWPilates we are MASSIVE about ensuring we are switching on the glutes BEFORE you train them. This means we are training them correctly rather than relying on surrounding muscles to pick up the slack. By firing up your entire posterior chain (these are the muscles that run up the back of your body) you can maximise each movement, lowering the risk of injury and feeling the burn. These muscles include the glutes, the erector spinae, cal...ves and hamstrings! The exercises we love: Bridges + Single Leg Bridges Lateral Band Work Side Lying Clams + Band Work Barre Classes!

13.01.2022 One of the Secrets of Adulthood is What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while", as written by Gretchen Rubin. If we pause for a moment and think about the patterns we follow in our lives, the nity-gritty day-to-day routines that shape us; what do they look like? Are we happy with them? Do we use our time optimally? How’s your morning? Could you tweak your morning routine, to make it a bit more pleasant? Your last hour before bedtime? Or Your routine... when you’re just feeling yuck? I am a BIG fan of Gretchen Rubin's work when it comes to learning how to identifying these patterns, and acknowledging their power to shape our lives. When we understand the 'why' behind our patterns we're better able to set the patterns in a productive and meaningful way. There is often something we can change ever so slightly in our daily routine that will help us feel more clam, organized, refreshed or simply give us space to breathe! My ONE MOMENT every morning - is a cup of hot water, lemon and honey sitting in an egg chair on the patio quietly breathing in the morning BEFORE the rest of the household wake up!
13.01.2022 Oh we can’t wait! Mindfullness is something I love (and can be really challenging!) .

11.01.2022 Good Morning Sunshine Sunday mornings spent in the sunshine is one of the most beautiful ways to start the week! . . Studies have shown that spending time outside can improve everything from blood pressure to mental health to cancer risk. So go ahead and spend some time forest-bathing to replenish your soul .... . Many people spend workdays indoors under fluorescent lights and in front of computers, then return home to bask in the glow of television screens (who does't love a good Netflix binge)...but spending too much time inside isn’t good for us. And nature is beneficial maybe essential for human health. . . Here are my reasons for loving our OUTDOOR pilates sessions! 1. Improve short term memory 2. It has a de-stressing effect 3. I may help reduce inflammation 4. Help eliminate fatigue 5. Help reduce stress & anxiety See more

10.01.2022 A solid understanding of Anatomy is so important to us (and our members) Anatomical awareness prepares us to teach all our members with confidence and in a safe manner. Our members are our number one priority and that means educating them about their bodies. It is helpful when members understand their body movements and how to move safely especially if they have an injury. 1. Having a foundational base of knowledge in anatomy can aid in injury prevention and help facilitate... the healing process for existing injuries 2. An understanding of anatomy gives us the tool to analyze our practice and teachings to create effective movement in our sequencing 3. With a strong, working (and growing) knowledge of human anatomy can be complimentary to healthcare, physical therapy and other related health treatments 4. Having thorough knowledge on how the human body works means we can empower our members to do "self-maintenance" to assist with daily activities. 5. There is no such thing as too much education and as instructors, our commitment is to raising the bar on knowledge and body awareness while working out! See you on the mat!
10.01.2022 Here is just a portion of our beautiful community members and regular attendees!! . . As much as we love to sweat together; it is just as much fun to stop and get to know one another. Sometimes it is really nice to know your neighbour (on the mat!)

06.01.2022 "...and let's go four more. And four, and three, and two, and two and three-quarters, hold....and keep holding. And rest" Sound familiar? I put my hand up and admit this is how I count! This is known as the Movement Instructor Counting Disorder: and we all try to be better and not do it. Here is our Barre Class with the correct counting! My belief - a few extra reps will only make up stronger, healthier and a little sweatier! We love our barre community as a whole, let’s ta...ke the whole and make two halves. There are barre instructors and barre students. Put together they equal a whole amazing community of barre lovers! To make this community even stronger we feel it is so important to promote inclusivity. No matter our members background or experience, our barre classes are a place where they can be a barre star! We always encourage students, make everyone feel safe, welcome and make sure they receive an effective workout (which means make it sweaty and fun). You will be sure to laugh and sweat in our barre sessions - every time! See you on the mat!

02.01.2022 Thank you SO MUCH to the members who came by and said hello at the markets today Kerri, Brenda, Maryanne, Christine - it was so good to see you - both in and out of classes! . .... At AWPilates my goal is to empower both men and women to know that motion is lotion - our bodies need movement no matter where we are at in life! Even when our bodies feel like they can't move - or won't move; I know there is a way that we can! . . Movement is healing - it feels good! . . The occupational therapist in me knows that movement is possible for all of us! My goal is to help you find that movement! In addition to that; I want you to be able to implement these movements at home and LOVE your health! See more
