    Taboo - we don’t talk about it but it is common for women to lose pelvic floor function. Why?- well it’s a set of muscles that work hard but they are also sadly misunderstood. Your pelvic floor is not a floor - it is a diaphragm just like the one under your ribs and it needs to move in coordination with the other muscles in your torso. Kegels don’t do this they simply strengthen or tighten specific muscles. But for your pelvic diaphragm to function it needs to be responsive and able to move when you breath so it can support you when you need it. I have had several abdominal surgeries due to fibroids, multiple IVF treatments and delivered a baby via Caesarean section. I have had some interruptions to my pelvic floor stability and I have repaired and recovered with Pilates. Not just any Pilates though, not a hard core gym work out that is called Pilates. I recovered with Pilates that starts with the breath, and finds a way through the tendency to brace and grip, to the deeper muscles. Relearning to allow the pelvic diaphragm to respond to the breath is empowering and joyful. I want to share how this approach to ‘core strength’ can re-ignite confidence in and connection with your body. I want you to fall in love with your pelvic diaphragm as the seat of your power as a woman so you know how to look after it for the rest of your life. PS The Pelvic Prosperity webinar is happening soon (16th September). Grab your spot to get a new experience of your own core strength.

    This is me 5 years ago -when does post-natal care stop? 6 weeks post birth? 12 months? What if you had a baby 5 years ago and you don’t feel like you have healed? It can take that long, particularly if you don’t get the right help early on. And sometimes it seems like post natal care is non existent! SO much advice is handed out when you are pregnant and then after you have your baby most of us are left to work things out on our own. Healing after birth is a thing, it can take time. If you have abdominal separation or diastasis recti, which is common, then following some simple protocols for breath and exercise can help you recover quickly. Healing your pelvic floor after birthing, no matter how long it has been, amounts to Pelvic Prosperity - the confidence and quality of life that comes from good pelvic health. I am running a movement webinar via zoom covering basic do’s and don’ts for pelvic health and exercise. Safe and suitable for post natal women.

    CAN YOU FEEL THAT? ....It’s a question I ask a lot as a Pilates teacher because my goal is to teach you to feel your own alignment, not just guide you through a set of exercises. If you can’t feel it I will find another prompt or cue to help you feel it. And as you begin to feel your own alignment your everyday movement patterns will begin to change- improving your posture and confidence and easing your pain. This is what I do, this is what I 🧡. If you want some help to move your body in safe and strength building ways, message me for a chat. #lennoxhead #ballina #lovewhatyoudo #getpainfree #backpain #shoulderinjury #movetonurture #agencypilates #bodykindness #postnatal #pelvicfloor #postnatalpilates #timeforyou #lennoxheadstudiopilates
    Do you get frustrated at your body? That it wasn’t able to do what you expected? You want to power walk on the beach but it gives you pain! You want to do bootcamp with your mates but the days after are hell and you know it’s not worth it. And it makes you mad at your body!! Or you have an illness that saps your energy so that exercise just feels impossible even though you know it’s good for you. And there’s a bit of betrayal that you feel cos your body is ‘letting you down’. I have hyper mobility, it means that I can do a lot of different exercise but because my joints and tendons are very flexible I can easily injure myself and be laid up for days after a hard workout. That’s why I love Pilates, the precision stops me from hanging in my joints so I don’t get that kind of pain afterwards. But I used to be SO frustrated with my body. And sometimes I would push it in a workout just to see if it could take it, then end of with more pain. This is a crappy cycle to be in! Here is a thing - we feel frustration when we are in judgement. When we are grateful our judgement disappears and with it the sense of frustration. It is impossible to feel grateful and judgemental at the same time. That’s why at Move to Nurture Pilates we cultivate gratefulness for our bodies exactly as they are. And we work from there…this is a shot from our Saturday morning mat class at Ballina Surf Club 🧡 Can you find something about your body to grateful for today?
