After changing jobs every 2 years, why and how have I managed to stay in one career for 15 years?
There are so many reasons... But to keep it short & sweet:
πŸ’š Pilates allows my creative side to thrive
πŸ’š It's not black & white
πŸ’š Seeing clients try is better than perfection
πŸ’š We can JUST BE REAL
πŸ’š I am always learning and sharing
πŸ’š The feeling when a client has an aha moment
πŸ’š The laughter!! (and my evil cackle🀣)
πŸ’š Adapting keeps me on my toes
πŸ’š It's flipping effective and mind blowing
πŸ’š Never dull
πŸ’š We help people (game changer!)
πŸ’š Humble... Every class I attend humbles me
πŸ’š And I Love it

There are more reasons but if I can give any advice to someone thinking of starting a career in Pilates - do it with your heart, not your bank balance or with an image of perfection. If you show up daily with intention, knowledge, modesty and care, the rest will follow

Mwah πŸ’‹

Ps. Yes I used Chatgpt for the image... So if you spot missing parts on the reformer, well done. And no, that ain't me in the Pic... I am never that polished 🀣🀣🀣 I'm a crazy redhead who can't count

Did you know your inner thighs (adductors) share fascial connections with your pelvic floor?

Placing a cushion or soft ball between your knees and applying a gentle squeeze can help send a message to the brain 🧠, encouraging activation of the pelvic floor & deep abdominal muscles, particularly the transverse abdominal (your body's natural corset).

Add slow, mindful breathing and suddenly it's not just an exercise - it's a conversation between your brain & your body.

Not sure what "engage your pelvic floor" means? Think about ✨ gently stopping wee from flowing ✨ gently stop gas from passing 😜
