Slow it down ! Find the spaces in the movements and breathe into them. It’s a mind body thing 😇.

The concept of bending your knees but not bending your ankles is hard for some people to manage when they first start equipment Pilates.
It involves foot strength and mobility and ankle stability.
Very important skills, not just for gait biomechanics but because movement is distributed, so foot/ankle behaviour propagates upwards.
Fascial chains link our feet to our head creating all of our movement patterns . It therefore stands to reason to start our sessions with the feet 🦶!!

Things I’ve learned whilst in Japan …
🇯🇵There are no fat people(like NONE!)
🇯🇵The food will heal you
🇯🇵There is NO litter ANYWHERE
🇯🇵There are no irate people
🇯🇵They live in very small spaces
🇯🇵My daughter is an incredible human
🇯🇵I can fly on my own
🇯🇵I will always need trees and animals in my life to feel alive

Beautifully crafted, well designed and functional. An elegant object to observe……….. Just like the human body when it moves well with good form and balance 😇😇😇😊☺️😊

Reformer Pilates for two.
Saturday vibes 😊

❤️

Normality has been restored.
Revivebodywork massage clinic is back to how it was before I undertook becoming a Pilates instructor student.
All Pilates equipment is now in the garden studio and I have an improved clinic with weights, KBs and bands.

Looking forward to starting back to work on January 2nd 😃.

This place is evolving already.
It’s a living breathing space.
There is no ego here.
It’s warm and comfortable.
A place to concentrate on what’s important.
To discover the minutiae movements in one’s body.
To unlock its potential.
Restorative yet challenging.
Not sweaty but exhausting for the muscles.
You are present in the moment.
You are calm and clear headed when you leave.

Bulldogs aren’t always included but are also very chilled so fit with the vibe perfectly.

It’s happened !
My dream at the start of 2023 has become a reality !
Blessed 😇
