22.01.2022 NECK PAIN - If you are experiencing any neck pain or discomfort during your online mat pilates classes try the following: - Use a cushion under your head keeping your head relaxed on the cushion in between your repetitions - Keep your head down on your mat during the whole exercise focusing on drawing the ribs down towards the hips to keep the activation of the abdominals... If you havent subscribed to our online mat classes as yet go to our website listed in our bio or PM me for assistance.

22.01.2022 STAYING AT HOME - Take breaks from checking the latest news on COVID-19. Instead, watch something funny on TV to keep your sense of humour and your spirits high

22.01.2022 BODY CLEANSE - So Im going to do my next Body Cleanse at the beginning of August...want to do it with me??? The Arbonne Body Cleanse lets it all out!!

Aloe also helps to soothe the gastrointestinal tract, the ginger supports healthy digestion and choline supports liver function. And its vegan!! Let me know if you want to join me and well get it ordered in time to start

21.01.2022 SUNDAY FUNDAY - Need an extra little bit of pampering/mental restoration after a super long week?? Here are a few ideas to help you relax but also achieve a little something as well. 1. Sleep in for an hour... 2. Do some baking (banana bread for me...happy to accept it at the studio on Monday ) 3. Complete a chore (30 min max time) that you have been putting off for ages 4. Pamper yourself with a Pilates class at either 7.30am or 8.30am, go for a walk in the park, watch a movie or I HAVE IT...get the kids babysat for 3 hours so you and your partner can go for a date lunch Organise it for next weekend

19.01.2022 RESPIRATORY SUPPORT SMOOTHIE - With the pilates studio closed I have found myself watching more tv in the past 3 weeks than I have watched in the past 6 months...yikes!!! Can someone try this smoothie that The Morning Shows nutritionist Sarah Di Lorenzo recommended and let me know what it tastes like!!! Ingredients are... - 1 frozen Banana - 1 tbsp Honey - 1 cup Spinach - 1/2 cup Blueberries - 1 Apple - 1 tbsp Nut Butter - 1 level tsp chopped fresh Ginger - 1/2 cup Almond milk - 5 Ice cubes I look forward to hearing your comments

19.01.2022 WORKING FROM HOME - We quite often dont have the correct ergonomic set up when we are working from home so here are 3 great stretches you can do to stop the slouching forward action. 1. Hip Flexor Stretch (kneel on the floor and extend the right foot out so your heel is directly under your knee. Push the hips forward so you feel the stretch through the front of the left hip) 2. Cobra Stretch (lay on your stomach, place your hands next to your shoulders and lift your upper ...body off the floor. You will open out the chest and stretch through the back) 3. Foam Roller Stretch (place the foam roller on the floor, lay on your back on the roller with it down the length of your spine. Open the arms to the side of the body or behind the head to increase the stretch).

18.01.2022 INHALE - Pilates breathing during your online mat Pilates classes is an inhale through the nose. Concentrate on drawing the breath into the sides and the back of the rib cage making the rib cage expand.

16.01.2022 LEARN TO RUN - If you are looking to start a running program as a form of exercise during iso then here are a few tips!! Always warm up with 5 minutes of walking and some lower body stretches before starting.

Try to aim for 20 minutes at the beginning and increase up to 40 minutes over time

12.01.2022 WATER-TO-ALCOHOL - Hands up if being stuck indoors has led to a few sneaky extra glasses of wine each night! Im exactly the same so no judgement here!!! Try to limit your alcohol to just the weekend if you can. Consuming alcohol increases fat accumulation, the risk of type 2 diabetes and elevated cholesterol. Also make sure you have at least 2L of water daily. If you need to make it not such a chore to drink your water, then add some lemon for a little extra taste sensation.

07.01.2022 MEAL PLAN - Youre not alone in saying that being in isolation has resulted in a few extra kilos around the waistline because we no longer have our normal routine. Set aside 15 minutes each Sunday morning to plan your meals for the week. Stick to 3 meals per day ensuring each meal has a serve of protein. If you need a snack in between your meals, have a handful of mixed nuts, a piece of fruit or some rice cakes with avocado, lemon juice and salt and pepper.... Not only will you help your waistline but youll also save money on your grocery bill
