Today’s Wellbeing Wednesday has completely transformed my Wednesdays 💫 from a boring humpday into a real highlight that lifts the whole of my week.

Today, we practiced Pilates as the goats grazed nearby, and we could hear the chickens, the sheep and there was even a lamb born this morning!

It is a mixed ability mat Pilates class and I am able to modify movements so everyone could work to their own ability; like one attendee who is recovering from elbow surgery or another who has EDS (Being a nurse also helps me help you with this). Everyone left feeling stronger and lighter.

Afterward, we connected over coffee, matcha and smoothies, or some joined the woodland walk.... And then had coffee!

If you’d love to join us next Wednesday in this beautiful outdoor setting, send me a message to book.

Life's to short to keep putting these moments off. Movement, breath, nature and connecting with others, are truly something special.

Episode 121 : Joy Is An Inside Job with Cat Googe The Joy Queen

Where does joy actually come from?

Not the holiday.
Not the perfect body.
Not finally getting your inbox to zero (although that might be nice! 16k and counting!🤦‍♀️).
Not when the kids are older.
Not “one day.”

In this week’s episode of Far 2 Fabulous, we sat down with the wonderful The Joy Queen, to talk about why joy is much more intentional than we’ve been led to believe.

I bloody loved this conversation and it felt like a big joyous exhale.

We talk about why so many women postpone joy, and what it means to live your “365” instead of waiting for weekends and holidays. We also dive into laughter yoga (which is far less cringe than you might think and not a downward dog in sight!), nervous system regulation, the science of laughter, and the importance of self-belief, identity and giving yourself permission to feel alive now.

And somewhere in the middle of it all is a really important reminder:
Joy isn’t something you earn once life is sorted.
It’s something you notice, create and allow.

This is what Pilates looks like in real life.

Not matching beige sets.
Not pretending your children, work stress and hormones don’t exist.
Not “perfect wellness girl” Pilates.

This is REAL Pilates for REAL women.

I’m actually teaching you — watching your movement in real time on Zoom, correcting technique and offering modifications when your back, knees, wrists or energy need extra support. Every class is designed to help you feel stronger, calmer and more connected to your body, with a proper warm up, planned classes and meditation and nervous system support at the end because midlife women don’t just need another workout… we need regulation too.

And for the first time ever, you could now do THREE mat Pilates sessions with me every single week:

🖥 Monday 6.30pm on Zoom
🖥 Tuesday 9.15am on Zoom
🌿 Wednesday 8.30am in person for Wellbeing Wednesday

Joseph Pilates famously said:

“In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 you’ll see the difference, and in 30 others will too.”

Imagine how much quicker you’ll reach your fitness and wellbeing goals when movement becomes part of your WEEK instead of something you “keep meaning to start.”

No gym intimidation, no guesswork and no doing it alone.  Just expert support, consistency, accountability and a community of women doing it together.

DM me “PILATES” if you want to come and try a class 🤍

I'm so excited for this. I have missed hosting for Female business owners. It is going to be such a great event. 🥰
