25.01.2022 Dads Walk Our goal this week on Dads walk was to make it to Canberra to visit my mother-in-law Vivien. Unbelievably as a group weve taken 1,254,055 steps or 956kms which puts us on the outskirts of Sydney, just shy of my Godmother Sues house! TALK ABOUT SMASHING IT OUT OF THE PARK! Id hoped to have around 10 people participating however there are 21 of us which puts a lot of weight behind the it takes a village theory! If you know anyone who wants to join in its not ...difficult - its as simple as letting me know at the end of the week how many steps you took for the week. Its not a competition, just an exercise in keeping moving together with purpose. Dads birthday is 27th September and we have 2936kms left to travel to get to Rockhampton. At this rate I think we might be taking the scenic route! Love Helen xx P.S. If you would like to know more about Dads Walk see previous posts.

25.01.2022 Under the watchful eye of Coach Jess this lovely lady is learning she is stronger than she thinks. #myolates #coachjess #girlswholift #longevity #eastbentleigh #bentleigheast

24.01.2022 Myolates Mum has come to stay so we are on holidays this week! Heres a little inspiration to those of you who need a little encouragement from us from time to time! Its never too late, and their is ALWAYS something you can be doing to improve your circumstance! P.S. No this is not my mum but its only a matter of time, theres a lot we can do with someone in a week!

23.01.2022 Hatched from a single leaf from my much loved Grandmothers plant, Myolates African Violets are flowering! Mama, as she was known to us, lived a simple, healthy, happy & socially connected life until she was 95! Social science research tells us we have 50% less risk of dying early if you have strong links to family & friends! Funny how research is telling us what our elders seemed to know all along! #myolates #longevity #simplelife #bluezones

19.01.2022 Just giving my dear friends at Active Lifestyle a shout out, they have really borne the brunt of the business closures over the COVID period but will finally re-open their doors shortly! If you are looking to really improve your health, regardless of your age, current condition or goals I highly recommend this family owned business that’s not too big and not too small! Most of my family have trained here and benefitted enormously so if you are in the market for a fresh start, a change and a professional, informed approach they will happily welcome you into their family! Lots of Love to you and your extended family of members Active Lifestyle Xxxx

18.01.2022 Thanks to COVID-19 @stagekings_au had to re-invent themselves for a while and this one is a ripper! Loving the puzzle board guys! Ergonomically sound and easily relocated off the dining space at meal time without losing pieces or the puzzle falling apart! @victoriatailby hardest puzzle ever! #stagekings_au #myolates #mindfulness #brainhealth #puzzle #greatideas

16.01.2022 Dad’s Walk Weather hampered us a little last week however, as of Sunday night we had 816km left to travel until we are home! Yay, just in time for daylight savings! Based on our daily average I think we will make it home by Thursday night which is awesome! It’s been such a nice way to keep in touch! I’m particularly proud of a couple of people who have really, really taken up the challenge and improved their health quite significantly in the process. No names but I’m sure yo...u know who you are! There’s no place like home! Love Helen xxx

15.01.2022 Fabulous article on Dr Norman Lazarus who at 84 insists that many so called diseases of ageing arent inevitable at all, but rather the product of your choices in middle age (yes that includes those of us that are OVER 45). His new book The Lazarus Strategy is a part how-to and part manifesto on the art of healthy ageing and guides readers along the path to a more active, productive, independent future and medication-free life. Normans research confirms the Blue Zone experience that it isnt necessary to take up endurance cycling, anything that gets you a little bit out of breath like brisk walking or ballroom dancing will suffice, as long as you do plenty of it regularly! Sounds like a great read to me!

13.01.2022 Dad’s Walk Amazingly we are home so I thought I’d give a wrap up of our achievement over the last 7 weeks! 22 people... Took at least 9,389,764 steps as a team And travelled 7155km going the long way around Everyone had some weeks where they stepped up a storm and other weeks where they didn’t quite step as much, however, the continued theme was that doing something together, as a community, created positive changes for everyone’s health and wellbeing with the added benefit of keeping people motivated. What does all this mean? What we know from the research is many of the so called chronic diseases of ageing have major links to exercise deficiency. What we also know is that what you do in your middle years (that’s those of us who land somewhere between 45 & 65) matters a great deal to living well and independently in your twilight years. What’s really important is we all keep moving! I’ll be coming up with another walk in the near future - feel free to nominate if there is somewhere you’d like to go - maybe von Trapp family style over the Alps, up Mt Kilimanjaro or across the Serengeti? Thanks for participating! Much love Helen xx

11.01.2022 Dads Walk Amazingly this week have taken 1,423,199 steps which means together, we have travelled another 1084km putting us at my treasured friend of 30 years Sara Davies house in Coloundra! Its all good, we can all stay the night, Sara lives on a huge block of rainforest! We are now 2040km into our journey to Mum & Dads house where they are expecting a high of 26 degrees today! Well now turn inland to cross the my sisters house in sunny Charleville, population 3335!

11.01.2022 Good morning everyone! Just letting you know that despite much lobbying by our governing bodies on our behalf, as per the Victorian Government Guidelines Myolates is required to close for ALL face to face consultations during the Stage 4 Restrictions. This includes one on one pilates and rehabilitation. Telehealth consultations are available for those that require them or are in the midst of a rehabilitation program. Ill be updating you later today on online zoom pilates classes and the Myolates Walking Challenge. Much love to you, your families, friends! Helen xx

10.01.2022 Its sneaky spring at Myolates so look out for tips and tricks to sneak a little more movement, good health and basic happiness into your daily life! #myolates #clinicalmyotherapy #myotherapy #pilates #clinicalpilates #holistichealth #justmove #mindfulness #happiness #bentleigheast #bentleigh #movewellmoveoften #proactivehealth #rehabilitation

You might find something you really love & as a bonus you will be moving, socialising & having fun along the way! #myolates #longevity #freetrialfeb #movewellmoveoften #justmove #friends

08.01.2022 Dads Walk And we are off on Dads Walk! Be sure to pack some bedsocks (modeled by my cozy feet...made by my Mum Diane Dirou and worn by generations of my family) as its bound to be cold along the way. To post your steps you can either make yourself a 10,000 Steps Account and send me your email so I can invite you to my page. Alternatively you can SMS 0438 622 767 or direct message me your steps each day off whatever app or device you use.... Look out for updates throughout the week!

07.01.2022 Hello Everyone As most of you know, this morning I made the difficult decision to close Myolates Pilates & Strength & Conditioning programs whilst the world finds its way back to good health. At this point I will honour the remaining Clinical Myotherapy consults booked this week under strict Department of Health Conditions. Whilst technically Myolates is a health facility and the Department of Health and many governing bodies have suggested we should be "encouraged to continu...e", my moral and ethical compass overwhelmingly tells me its the right decision for my little community of people, their families and friends. As a group and individuals, weve worked particularly hard to ensure you are all on top of any rehabilitation programs you are following and to reduce the need for hands on therapy. I am very confident you all have the skills and knowledge to self manage for a short period of time. Im only a phone call away if you have an questions and whilst I wont be setting up fee based online Pilates, Exercise Rehab or Telehealth, Im more than happy to watch what you are doing on Skype, Zoom etc should you have a query. Myolates values are deeply tied to longevity and modelling the habits and behaviours of the Blue Zone cultures who have the lowest rates of disease and, on average, outlive the rest of us by at least 10 years. The four areas of focus are natural movement, nutrition that largely follows a SLOW food diet, strong community ties and a positive outlook. More than ever this simplistic lifestyle holds true and whilst its hard to switch off from the current chaos, its a wonderful opportunity for us all to consider where we can make positive changes to leading a healthier, happier life. I will look forward to seeing you all soon! Love Helen xx

07.01.2022 Myolates is looking for models for its new website photo shoot! You need to be available from 9am-12pm on Thursday 8th August and be willing to have your make-up professionally done, and be a superstar Pilates participant or Myotherapy patient on my new site! We are hoping for both male and female participants so please get in touch if you are happy to help us out! No experience necessary! All shapes and sizes welcome!

07.01.2022 Hi Everyone Hopefully you are all in one piece and finding something to smile about after yesterdays not entirely unexpected announcement! The experience for Clinical Myotherapy in Victoria thus far has been that our awesome, hardworking governing body Myotherapy Australia, lobbies DHHS for the week to gain clarification as to what any changes mean for us as we are rarely mentioned specifically! ... At this point Im anticipating having to remain closed until after 28th September at the earliest. In the meantime please feel free to jump into the online classes or call me with any concerns, even if you just need someone to talk to, Im happy to listen! Im not charging for Telehealth consults. Im rebelling the system as only some professions have been given Health Fund claiming status which I find to be about as far from health focussed as you can get! Its a beautiful sunny day so try to get out and enjoy the sunshine, even if its just in your backyard! With much love to all of you! Helen xx

06.01.2022 Happy Birthday Myolates - we are 2 years old today! A huge thanks to everyone who has encouraged me along the way, to those kind souls who constantly refer people to me, my long term clients who have been part of the journey from the beginning, my mentors and especially to my close friends my family who have remained patient & supportive through all the ups and downs along the way.....and regardless of how I come home, have loved me anyway xxx #myolates #doingitmyway #gratitude #nevergiveuponyourdreams

02.01.2022 Dads Walk As some of you may know, I havent seen my Dad since January 2018. We had planned for him to visit in April this year to celebrate my university graduation, a goal Id had set since 1989 but never managed to achieve! Due to COVID-19 both my graduation and Dads visit were cancelled. Of all the COVID-19 challenges, Dads cancelled visit has been the most difficult. Dad is 83 on the 27th of September and based on average life expectancy and how infrequently we manag...e to see each other, its quite feasible we may only see each other a few more times in this lifetime. So, rather than twiddle our thumbs and moan about lockdown, I thought we might walk to my Mum & Dads house in Rockhampton, QLD to wish Dad a virtual happy birthday! Obviously well need food and shelter along the way so we will stop in on other family members along the way making it a 3892km journey! To cover the distance there will need to be at least 10 of us walking 10,000 steps per day. If you want to join me please message me and Ill invite you to my 10000 Steps page where we can keep a record of our distance. If we are ahead of schedule we will take the long route and visit all the places I lived in the QLD bush before I became a city slicker! There are no prizes for participating, just the opportunity to help me visit Dad in the only way we can at the moment! First stop is Canberra in the ACT where well be visiting my mother-in-law Vivien. Alicia Stinchcombe Marie Gleeson Vivien Gleeson Katie Yates Dean Yates Sue Owen Nicole Marcozanis Rachael Cottle Sue Owen Nash Kennedy Sara Davies Lynne McAllister Ross McAllister Aaliyah Kennedy Rachael Kennedy Scott Kennedy & Diane Dirou we are on our way so look out for us soon! Love H xxx

02.01.2022 Dads Walk Well, we are officially in the outback AND in the middle of nowhere amongst A LOT of Kangaroos. This week we have stepped up a storm travelling the 870km to my sister Rachael and her familys house in Charleville and beyond! Weve travelled 1104km taking close to 1,500,000 steps as a team this week. To make sure we make the most of the nice weather we are going to go the long way to Mum and Dads in Rockhampton. This week we will travel north west to Longreach (the... birthplace of QANTAS and home of the Stockmans Hall of Fame) and then back track on the Capricornia Highway through Barcaldine and hopefully land in Anakie, the gateway to the Central Highlands Gemfields which is where I spent much of my childhood. If weve stepped far enough, well participate in the annual Gemfields Ironman Darby which involves a 20km Wheelbarrow Race from Anakie to my hometown of Rubyvale, population 700. Ill tell you about that next week but get stepping as its a 911km journey to Anakie and the Wheelbarrow Race isnt for the faint of heart! Lots of love to all of you! Xxxx P.S. You can see on the map where we are headed!

01.01.2022 Myolates Re-Opening Well, sadly we are waiting a bit longer. At this point re-opening is the week of 19th October, online bookings are open so please feel free to jump online and book your appointment! I’m able to see a handful of NDIS customers, Work Cover & TAC prior to that however the rules are quite specific so if you do fall into that category please don’t hesitate to get in touch.... In the meantime, online pilates classes are still running & I’m exploring running a few sessions at King George Oval (1 on 2 only) so feel free to let me know if you are keen! Hang in there everyone! It’s only a couple more weeks & unless anything dramatic happens, we’ll be back on for Myotherapy and at least 1 on 1 pilates 19th October. Much love to all of you! Helen xxx
