We Love Pilates

As we start the new term, here is a reminder of the benefits of a Pilates Class 💙
The classes are as much for the mental benefits in addition to the physical.
Each hour is your time out from the world of stress, emails and social media.
Please do not use your phone in class, each time it lights up it jolts you out of your body and the present moment and can be distracting for others.

Obviously if you are waiting for an important phone call from the doctor, hospital or loved one that is ok, please have the phone on vibrate near you and take the call outside the class.

Many thanks in advance

Wishing you all a Happy Easter!
Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend however you choose to spend it 🐰🐣🌻❤️

Full disclaimer, I've only listened to a short clip that's sounded interesting! I'll listen to it properly tomorrow and make notes.

If you are struggling talk to someone, especially the guys you don't have to go through it on your own. I'll share the men's mental health groups in Leicester on another post and if you are not in Leicester https://andysmanclub.co.uk/ now covers the UK so look for a group close to you 🩵
