Firstly, Iโ€™m really sorry to anyone whose class Iโ€™ve had to cancel since last Friday.

Iโ€™m currently recovering from a head and neck injury and post-concussion symptoms, so classes are going to be substantially reduced over the next couple of weeks while I recover.

Thankfully, I had already arranged some fab cover teachers for the daytime classes next week, so those classes are now online and available to book.

Apologies for the delay in getting them on there โ€” screen time has been virtually non-existent over the last few days.

For any massage clients, Iโ€™m also really sorry but massage treatments are going to have to be paused for the next couple of weeks. Iโ€™m not currently able to fully use my left arm in particular, so thereโ€™s no sensible way for me to treat safely at the moment.

And apologies to anyone who has tried to have a conversation with me and been met with a slightly confused response ๐Ÿ˜… My brain is not exactly firing on all cylinders at the moment, so if Iโ€™ve looked blankly at you, forgotten what youโ€™ve just said, or made absolutely no senseโ€ฆ thatโ€™ll be why.

I ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘›๐‘˜ Iโ€™ve got the booking site right ๐Ÿคž but if you have any problems booking, please drop me a message and Iโ€™ll try to respond as soon as I can. Texts and WhatsApps are probably going to get a quicker response than emails for the time being.

Thank you for bearing with me ๐Ÿ’›

5 exercises for back pain.

5 moves for better posture.
5 exercises to โ€œactivateโ€ your glutes.

Apparently anything can now be solved in five steps. We await โ€œ๐Ÿฑ ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฏ๐˜† ๐—™๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†โ€ with interest.

FrightenedDragon666 says exercise three should NEVER be done because her aunt did something similar in 2008 and โ€œput three discs outโ€.

EnthusiasticAubergine89 says the whole list is unnecessary because her hairdresserโ€™s husband cured his sciatica by cutting out tomatoes and standing barefoot on the lawn for seven minutes every morning.

The funny thing is, some of those five exercises might be brilliant.

But a generic list canโ€™t see how you move, what changes when we alter the position, range or load, or which bits are actually worth spending time on.

Thatโ€™s where a 1-2-1 is useful โ€” we can try things, make small changes and see what actually makes a difference for you.

Because sometimes you donโ€™t need another five exercises.

You just need to know which ones are worth doing.

And yes, you can keep the tomatoes. ๐Ÿ…

Iโ€™m not going to be the person who starts mentioning the ๐—–-๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ in Septemberโ€ฆ ๐ŸŽ„

But festive party season is roughly three months away.

And before anyone panics, this is ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ a โ€œget party-readyโ€ transformation challenge.

Itโ€™s simply a reminder that ๐Ÿต๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ.

Long enough to build a habit.
Long enough to get stronger.
Long enough to improve your control, balance or mobility.
Long enough for something that feels difficult now to start feeling much more familiar.

So rather than waiting for January, try this:

๐—•๐—จ๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐—— one thing you want to make more consistent.
๐—œ๐— ๐—ฃ๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—ฉ๐—˜ one thing that would make a genuine difference to how you move.
๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฃ one thing that keeps getting in the way.

But donโ€™t make it a three-month masterplan.

Book the class. Add the extra walk. Practise the movement. Make the time. Change the thing that keeps tripping you up.

Give it a few days and see what happens.

Then do it again.

Your nervous system is adaptable โ€” which is one reason we donโ€™t just do the same exercises, in the same way, forever.

Different positions, different apparatus, different loads and different challenges give your nervous system more ways to respond.

Thatโ€™s a big part of Pilates for me: ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ โ€œ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜โ€ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ, but giving your body more options.
