What is the ✨️ lymphatic system ✨️?

It is our bodies lymph fluid drainage system. It consists of a complex network of lymphatic vessels, tissues, organs, and glands. It is a subsystem of our immune system and is complementary to our circulatory system. The lymphatic system removes excess fluid from the body tissues and returns it to the bloodstream.

The lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump, like the bloodstream has the heart. We can help pump the lymphatic system by:
- practicing deep breathing
- moving
- special types of massage

Stay tuned for some more info on how to care for your lymphatic system!

I saw the yoga version of this post on social media a while back and it really hit home.

We often try to be perfect in the pilates world, but we are just people trying our best. We don't know everything. And it's really refreshing to say it.

There are many things that make online pilates great:
- you don't have to drive anywhere
- you can wear what you're comfortable in
- you're in a safe space
- the times are flexible

I offer private and duet online pilates classes. This means that the class is tailored to your bodies unique needs.

I would love to move with you!

There is alot that goes into a Pilates practise. Pilates also means alot of different things to different people.

To me, Pilates is a safe space, like a moving meditation. What does it mean to you?

You may have noticed I haven't posted in a while. I have been on holiday visiting the most amazing places with the most amazing people.

I have said it once, and I will say it again. Rest is just as important as work.

There is always alot to think about during a pilates class, like our breathing and coordination.

But if we can ,in the back of our minds, remember these 4 things, we will enhance our pilates practise!

There are many reasons to do pilates but here are a few of my personal favorites!

Why do you do what you do?

Wow it's been a while!

I hope everyone had an amazing holiday period and a great start to their new year!

I'm back online for pilates classes and exercise inspiration, so expect to see some fun movements soon!

Pilates vs Yoga
What are they? What is the difference?

I often get asked about this so I thought that I would tell you a little about each discipline so you can see for yourself!

We all want the maximum benefits from our pilates practise but this doesn't always mean doing big muscle movements, sometimes the small movements or static stretches are beneficial too!

These are the principles of pilates that I find key to my pilates practise!

Balance - not only balancing in my exercises but balance in all parts of my life.

Awareness- being aware of my body's shape and feelings while I exercise.

Control - staying in control of my movements while I practise them and moving slowly with intention.

Flow- moving intuitively!

What are your keys in life and exercise?
