🙂PRACTICE > PERFECTION

🥵Happy Friday! How are you? I hope all is well. I dont know about you, but I am glad it is Friday! Last night I taught Spin.....
Then Kettlebells.....
Then Pilates.

🧘‍♂️By the time I got on the mat for a wee bit of me time, I was tired. My body definitely knew it had already done a full day's work. My dodgy left leg was thumping- nerve damage really is the gift that keeps on giving!
Was my Teaser perfect? No.
Was it my best Teaser? Definitely not.
But I practised it anyway.

☺️Because sometimes movement isn't about achieving the perfect position. Sometimes, it's about showing up, working with the body you have that day, adapting when you're tired or injured, and doing what you can.

🙂Perfect isn't the goal. Consistency is. I think that is something we all need reminding of sometimes. Your body doesn't have to perform perfectly for movement to be worthwhile. I will take practice over perfection every time. Never worry about coming to class and not being perfect, I have yet to achieve that and I am your instructor! 😂❤️ Laura X

😄How are you? I hope all is well and I also hope you are having a fabulous weekend. Here's a wee question for you!

🤔What is better than a spin class in a new studio, with awesome new bikes and most excellent tunes? I shall tell you....It is a spin class in a new studio using awesome new bikes, most excellent tunes and TWO instructors!

🥳Join Claire and me tomorrow (Monday 31st August) at 12.30pm for our 80's versus 90's team teach. I can not wait! I shall be handling the 80's side.....the playlist is written and I am searching for the legwarmers and sweat bands as I type.....I hope you can join us!

😀As my micro holiday is now a distant memory, I am back to full class mode this week. See below for details and get booked in. As always, if there is a waiting list, please add your name- cancellations happen and I would love to see you! Contact The Meadows Sports Centre Ellon directly to book.

😊Fit like? I hope all is well and I hope you are having a fabulous weekend. The school holidays are almost over, can you believe it?! For some of us this will be a relief, for others not so much. For me, I am delighted to be getting back in to a routine. It keeps me focused and calm...or at least it helps!

😀I would like to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you who have come to classes over the summer. I know how hard it can be to keep up with classes while juggling children, grandchildren and all the other commitments that holiday time brings. So, thank you for your dedication, support and the laughs. Summer has been a blast!

😁Classes for this week (week commencing Monday 17th August) are listed below, please note that I am not taking classes on Sunday 23rd and Monday 24th August as I will be away on a micro holiday! More about that to follow.

😃All classes are held at The Meadows Sports Centre Ellon apart from Monday evening Pilates which is held in the Longhaven Hall. To book classes at The Meadows, just contact the centre directly. For Longhaven Pilates, just drop me a message. See you soon. Laura X

😁Happy Monday to you! How are you? I hope life is treating you well. Massive thanks to all of you who joined me for classes this weekend, I can not tell you how much I loved seeing you all!

😀As the school summer holidays are drawing to a close, I am getting back into a more regular routine with classes. This week, I have classes on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday- see below for details! As always, I would be delighted to see you in a class or two......or three! All classes are held in The Meadows Sports Centre unless otherwise stated.

😊Rest days done right...On Saturday, my step count was nowhere near the usual 20k steps, I had absolutely no classes and the nearest I came to exercise was a gentle stroll from the car to the Old Post Office Tearoom for the most fabulous lunch.

😀Am I worried? No. Am I concerned about the calories? No. Do I feel guilty for taking time off the usual exercise regime? No. Will I be doing extra classes next week to make up for it? Absolutely not.

🙂Exercise is not a punishment for what you have eaten. Nor is it an essential part of every single day. Rest is important. Exercise is, for me, a way to future proof my physical health, maintain my mental health and ensure that I am fit and able to enjoy my day to day life.

☺️I loved my rest day. I enjoyed my time off and I feel more motivated for it. I was also really delighted to find somewhere that caters for those of us who are Gluten free. As many of you know, I have coeliac disease which can make eating out difficult. If this also applies to you then check out the Old Post Office (link above) I will be going back again. And again.

😁I will be back to work on Monday 3td August with the usual classes and I would love to see you. Get booked in for:
9.30am Pilates
12.30pm Spin
7.00pm Pilates (Longhaven Hall)

🙂I will also be taking Pilates on Tuesday morning at 9.15am and 10.15am. I would love to see you there too! All classes are held at The Meadows unless otherwise stated- just contact the Meadows to book. For Longhaven pilates, just send me a message. See you soon, Laura X

😀Happy Monday! How are you? I hope all is well! This is just a quick post to remind you of our Monday classes.....I will be back later this week with some more news, exciting times are ahead!

😊Join me today (Monday 27th July) for:
9.30am Pilates
12.30pm Spin
7.00pm Pilates (Longhaven Hall)

🙂As always, when classes have a waiting list, please add your name. Folk's plans often change and spaces do open up. We have also just increased the numbers for Pilates in The Meadows which should help to address the waiting list issue.

😁I am super excited for Spin in our new studio later. I am feeling an 80's rock themed class coming on in honour of my new haircut. I love it, think fringe, shaggy layers, Bon Jovi back in the day! Get booked in, right now! I love the new hair do so much that I tried to take a photo to share with you. I was photo bombed by a yawning Jim. I am not amused.

☺️See you soon, Laura X

😊I could not be loving working at The Meadows more. I could not love the new spin studio more. We have brand new bikes, a brand new studio complete with motivational words on the wall and to top it off we now have a larger area in the main building for taking classes.

😀If you haven't been to a class with us before, get booked in! We will look after you. If you haven't been for a while, get booked in! We would love to see you. If you are already booked in, we shall see you soon and I can not wait!

🚲My next spin class is on Thursday at 5.30pm, as always, hit me with your song requests! See you soon, Laura X
