Continuing our focus on breathing this week. I try not to get too bogged down with when to breathe in and out with Pilates. Just don't hold your breath! 😁.

However think about these two techniques...

1. Diaphragmatic breathing. One hand on the chest the other on your stomach. Take a breath in through the nose, pushing the air down into the stomach feel the bottom hand rise, and try keeping the top hand steady with minimal movement. Breathe out through the mouth

Great for stress relief, regulating yourself

2. Lateral (rib) breathing. Note the fingers are touching to begin with. Breathe in through the nose, feel the ribs expand and the fingers part. Keep the stomach flat. Breathe out and the fingers meet again.

This technique is supposed to allow better entry of oxygen into the bloodstream and the muscles preparing you to move and exercise.

We're back for September! Looking forward to starting afresh for the new season 🍁

Celebrating 5 years of Pilates with confidence

September marks 5 years of going it alone. I started working for other physiotherapy practices and studios. After covid and waiting a long time to become a parent I decided it was the right time to go it alone. I was evolving along the way, I made mistakes, and learned from them. I had discovered how to make people feel welcome, relaxed and encouraged them to exercise in their way. I also never imagined how a community can be built from a weekly mutual meeting of minds.

We started small
We welcomed all abilities
We worked with our changing bodies
We advanced at our own pace
We adjusted our practice accordingly
We listened to our bodies
We started, we paused, we restarted
We built a community
We continue to evolve.....

Thank you πŸ’šπŸ’œπŸ€πŸ–€
