22.01.2022 Last day consulting in my physical nutrition clinic for a little while After today all clients (who arent already) will now be seen online for their nutrition consults. In this time of uncertainty it is easy to feel overwhelmed by everything but one thing remains certain and that is how important your health is! Stress has so many flow on effects to your health including suppressing your immune system, depleting essential nutrients, disrupting your gut microbiome & your h...ormone balance (to name a few). Therefore, down regulating your bodies stress response & supporting your immune system is essential at the moment Not sure how to do that? Im your gal! Find out how you can support your health and well-being from the comfort of your own home by sending me a message or booking a consult via my website. Look forward to chatting soon See more

22.01.2022 Wednesday night with a few new & lots of familiar faces Ive been getting asked a lot recently whether my Pilates classes are suitable for beginners & I can promise you they are! Every Pilates exercise is modifiable to be able suit beginners, intermediate & advanced Pilates goers, therefore enabling everyone to work at the own abilities and progress as they feel comfortable. Everyone has to start somewhere and the Balance of Being is a great place to start your Pilates experience if youve been thinking about Pilates for a while Send me a message if you have any more questions x

22.01.2022 Stretching is just as important as the exercises in Pilates It helps lengthen the muscles, release tension and most importantly provide you with a moment to breathe However its an easy thing to forgo at the end of your class if you are left to your own devices... Thats why each week I create a stretch & relaxation class for online Pilates to encourage you to take the extra 15 minutes out for yourself! Your body and your mind will thank you for it If only I could work out a way to include my foot massages into them! New week of classes beginning tomorrow, head to my website to find out more x

18.01.2022 You can plant a seed and wait for your apple tree to grow or you can go to the supermarket and buy an apple of the shelf... The first option is more rewarding, requires more nutrients to grow and provides you nourishment for a long time The second provides you with an instant reward that is great at the time but is gone just as quickly as you bought it. Like all good things your health takes time Have patience, do the ground work and the results will come... and better yet theyll stick around for the long haul

16.01.2022 With life beginning to return to some form of normality its easy to let your wellbeing slip to the end of the priority list Whether its a 25 minute Pilates class or a 15 minute stretch & relaxation class (like this one), putting aside less than half an hour of your day for yourself is possible with online classes Your body and your mind will thank you for it, I promise! New week of classes beginning tomorrow, to sign up for only $25 head to my website x

12.01.2022 Food for thought Yesterday in clinic I was asked why so many people suddenly have food intolerances/ allergies. This question has so many potential answers but one that sometimes gets over looked is the change in the way our food is manufactured, grown, processed, packaged, transported etc. Your environment has the ability to influence your health just as much as the food you put in your body Have you too noticed a rise in food intolerances/ allergies lately?

12.01.2022 To say a little thankyou and provide support for anyone who needs it at the moment I am offering tonights LIVE Pilates class at 6pm for free You dont have to have a Pilates membership with me to join- anyone and everyone is welcome!

11.01.2022 Hope everyone has been able to enjoy this beautiful summer weather & has been taking time out to fill up your own cups Just a reminder Ill still be filling my own cup up with sun, books & swims until the 6th of Jan! But, stay tuned on New Years Day for the new Pilates timetable & a special pilates deal x

11.01.2022 As some of you may know, I have been advised to stop teaching my Pilates classes for the time being at Middle Island Medical Clinic to minimise the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) within our community. As a small business this was not a decision that I made lightly, however I believe it is the right decision to make to benefit the majority over the minority. However, just because physical Pilates classes have been suspended for a little while, doesn't mean you shouldn't stil...l enjoy moving your body! Not only to maintain your fitness levels but also to help reduce any stress/anxiety that you may be feeling currently. High levels of stress are linked with a lower immune system, so staying as calm as possible at the moment is really important for not only your mental health but also to continue to support your immune defence. To support you through this crazy time I have designed a series of online Pilates classes to keep you moving your body, maintain + build your Pilates strength and to provide you a space to relax and take some time to breathe. Online Pilates classes will start on Monday the 23rd of March and are only $25 per week! You will be able to access them whenever you like during the week + as many times as you like during the week from the comfort of your home. Click this link to find out all the information you need to know- https://www.thebalanceofbeing.com.au/page-2 Got questions? Please ask below or send me a message! Thank-you again for your understanding and support. Take care of yourselves and reach out if there is anything I can do to help :) Alex x PS. If you currently have a Pilates pass it will be suspended from the date of your last class and it will resumed when classes start back at Middle Island (hopefully in a few weeks)- stay tuned!

10.01.2022 At the Balance of Being my clients health has always been my first priority, your health is your wealth and without it you wouldnt be able to do all the amazing things you do for your family, self and workplace. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is even more important that we put our health and the health of those within our community first, hence there are some changes occurring to Pilates and Nutrition for the foreseeable future. For Pilates; If you are feeling unw...ell, have someone in close contact to you who is unwell, or have recently travelled overseas (and have not had 14 days of self quarantine) please do not attend your Pilates classes. Class passes can be suspended if this information applies to you. Everyone will be required to use hand sanitiser before and after entering the ballroom at Middle Island Medical Clinic. This can be found at the top of the staircase. Card payments are preferred over cash if possible. If you have your own yoga mat, please bring it along with you, as well as blanket or towel to use on the mat for padding. The blankets usually provided will not be available for use. If you need to use the studio mats, you will be asked to help me wipe them down, along with any equipment we have used to ensure sanitary requirements are met. I endeavour to keep Pilates classes going for as long as possible to continue to provide you all with a space to move your bodies and relax your mind amongst all this craziness. However, should I be advised medically otherwise, then I will update you again with any changes. For nutrition; Again, if you are feeling unwell or have someone in close contact to you who unwell, please inform me as soon as possible as we can arrange for an online consult if you still wish to keep your appointment. Please respect that within my clinic I have clients who have compromised immunity and other health conditions that make them more susceptible to viral infections, so take the necessary precautions if required. Card payments are preferred over cash if possible. Extra sanitation process will take place within the clinic, including hand sanitiser before and after your consult, as well as additional cleaning done in between consults by me. I am currently offering 20 minute consults for $30 for people wanting information on how to support their immune system or those with acute cold symptoms. This appointment type is not suitable for those with chronic immune dysfunction. Send me a message to book in Any questions please ask! As a small business the more time you can provide me to cancel/ reschedule your appointment the better, so please be mindful of providing as much notice as possible if you are feeling unwell. Stay safe, look after your loved ones and eat all the vegetables you can

10.01.2022 Happy Monday everyone! After great feedback from the Pilates Barre classes weve done online I thought I would put it you and see who would be keen on Pilates Barre in the studio? Not sure what Barre is? It is a higher intensity Pilates workout that increases the heart rate a little more than your typical mat workout and it gets the booty burning within minutes! Let me know if you would be interested by commenting below or sending me a message Classes this week: In the studio Monday (tonight) 5:45pm, Thursday 5:45pm & Saturday 8am. Online Pilates classes still available! Jump onto my website to secure you space for either option

09.01.2022 Woohoo we are finally back in the studio as of the 7th of July!!

Weve changed a few things to accomodate the health and safety of everyone in the studio starting with a maximum of 9 people per class and 1.5m distancing between mats. For the time being there will also be no class passes to a...void people missing out on enjoying the full benefit of their pass. Lastly, the timetable has been changed slightly and will be altered depending on demand and COVID-19. If there is demand for more classes I will add them in, feel free to send in suggestions :) Online booking are available!

09.01.2022 Seeking external validation for how you look or the choices you make in life will only get you so far... and in my experience only cause you more stress. True happiness comes from being comfortable with yourself and your choices regardless of the opinions of others. Love yourself first & the rest will follow

08.01.2022 It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious and upset when we think of all the things in our environment that we can’t control at the moment. Shifting our mindset to think about the things that we can control helps to take a bit of the stress away and puts the power back into your hands Something that we can focus on during this second round of lockdown is how we move our bodies. Whether it’s going for a walk with your mask on, stretching in front of the warm fire or doing a ho...me Pilates class there is plenty of options to keep your body and your mind busy For only $25 a week you can have access to 4 Pilates class + 1 stretch/ relaxation class from the comfort of your own home. Suitable for all ages and abilities, we’ve even got all our lovely pregnant women covered with their own classes. Moving your body isn’t just for the physical benefits (stronger core, toned muscles etc...) it’s about reducing your stress, clearing your mind and feeling good in your body Sign up for this weeks classes today and feel the benefits for yourself x See more

06.01.2022 Poll 3: Would you interested in more Pilates challenges this year? If yes, would you like them to incorporate nutrition consults and/or nutrition information into them? (comment below)

04.01.2022 Last night I had my first bout of body image anxiety in over 6 months. Whilst I am very proud of myself that Ive gone that long without the negative self talk I thought I would be stuck with forever in my head, it got me thinking what has spurred this on. I still fit my clothes the same & look the same, I havent had anyone give me any reason to spark that negative self talk again... the only thing that I havent done in two weeks is exercise. Ive gone for a walk here and t...here but two weeks without Pilates and I feel like my mind is in overdrive. Whenever I do little polls or ask clients what they get most out of Pilates I am always pleasantly surprised to hear that their mental health and body image benefits most out of my Pilates classes. And this experience has made me realise the same thing! So, if like me your feeling anxious about your body and how your body is feeling, particularly after the silly season, come and give Pilates a go! Whilst most people walk through the door for the exercise, they stay because their body, mind and self-appreciation becomes strong Check my previous post for the new timetable- I cant wait to get back to moving my body & mind with you all tomorrow

03.01.2022 Completed my 25th lap around the sun this weekend & my heart is more full than ever So grateful for the people in my life including all of you that allow me to do what I love and call it work This weekend also marks a month since I started online Pilates classes... where has that month gone! Thank you to everyone who has purchased a pass, youve made it possible for me to continue teaching and working in these uncertain times, two things I certainly dont take for granted I hope you all have a lovely week ahead and if you would like to create some space for your body and mind this week you know where to find me x

01.01.2022 Worth the mask for this sunrise Nothing like a walk in the fresh air with your mum and pooches to start your day Can never underestimate the power that moving your body can have on your mental wellbeing, especially during these current COVID-19 restrictions x
