    So I had a post organised about post baby belly pooch. And then I realised the photo I had selected was a shame based image! ⠀ It showed a bulging lower belly of a woman. I was going to use it because I thought it would get your attention. ⠀ And it might have, BUT I don’t want to motivate you through shame. ⠀ Your body is amazing, the beauty of your body goes beyond anything that can be conveyed through a screen. And I don’t want you to doubt that for a second! ⠀ If you feel like since having a baby that you lack core strength or you have little connection with your abdominals, this is normal! ⠀ But it can lead to long term lower back pain, it makes it hard to have good posture, it can lead to other pelvic issues such as prolapse and incontinence, and can affect your personal confidence. ⠀ If you are struggling with connecting to you core after baby, I have a range of classes and sessions to help you reconnect to your powerhouse. ⠀ My approach is gentle, targeted and precise and will get you strong enough for other exercise and help you avoid short and long term injuries. ⠀ DM me to chat about what you need. ⠀ ⠀ #ballinanow #ballina #ballinasurfclub #ballinasurf #pilatesballina #ballinahairdresser #ballinawedding #ballinarealestate #ballinafarmersmarkets #ballinamarkets #discoverballina #ballinabusiness #ballinashirecouncil #ballinabyron #ballinabeach #ballinafood #ballinachamber #ballinacoastparkrun #ballinacreatives #ballinafair #ballinamums #ballinacafe #postnatalpilates #byronlife #ballinacommunity #corestrength #due2020 #duejanuay #duefebruary #due2021
    What motivates you? Community, friends and family are powerful motivators. ⠀ If you want to build a movement habit involve your tribe. ⠀ Convince your best friend or your sister, make it quality time with your mum, set a date with your partner to move together. ⠀ These commitments help us to build new habits. It’s hard to do it alone. ⠀ This is the great thing about booking into a session or a class. 1) you book a head, you’ve paid money, you’ve got skin in the game 2) someone is waiting for you to turn up (that’s me!) 3) You get to know others in the session or class and they become a reason to show up as well. ⠀ To make new habits we have to make them attractive. Showing up for our community is wired into our brains as important. ⠀ So link your new movement habit to your community and watch both grow. 🌱🌱 ⠀ #ballinanow #ballina #ballinasurfclub #ballinasurf #pilatesballina #ballinahairdresser #ballinawedding #ballinarealestate #ballinafarmersmarkets #ballinamarkets #discoverballina #ballinabusiness #ballinashirecouncil #ballinabyron #ballinabeach #ballinafood #ballinachamber #ballinacoastparkrun #ballinacreatives #ballinafair #ballinacafe #postnatalpilates #byronlife #ballinacommunity #ballinamums #corestrength #due2020 #duejanuay #duefebruary #due2021
    NEW BLOG- Tight body? Muscle tension? A tight body is not a strong body. Is it sometimes painful to move ‘cos you feel so tight? ⠀ There are lots of tips to relieve chronic all over body tension. Don’t suffer with this unnecessarily. ⠀ If you feel like no matter how many massages you get, you still feel tight, this is for you! ⠀ Get to know how your muscles and fascia store tension so you can hydrate, nourish and release your body. ⠀ Then you can get stronger. ⠀ DM me and I will send you the link to the blog. ⠀ #ballinacommunity #ballinanow #ballina #ballinasurfclub #ballinasurf #pilatesballina #ballinahairdresser #ballinawedding #ballinarealestate #ballinafarmersmarkets #ballinamarkets #discoverballina #ballinabusiness #ballinashirecouncil #ballinabyron #ballinabeach #ballinafood #ballinachamber #ballinacoastparkrun #ballinacreatives #ballinafair #ballinamums #ballinacafe #byronlife #byronbaypilates #pilatesforeverybody #matpilates #northernnsw #pilatesover50 #fitover50women
    Consistency is the key 🔑. I am in for the consistency challenge #💯withme ⠀ Apart from committing to myself this month to show up for Pilates with @lesley.logan at least 3 times per week, I am learning about running a challenge. ⠀ Committing to something publicly helps us to stay accountable to our goals! Working with others who are also on the journey with you helps keep momentum! ⠀ And I love that this challenge is about consistency, not 6pack abs. It’s about my relationship to my practice and myself. ⠀ In July I am planning a balance challenge, working from the feet up. Stay tuned for more details and if you want in, DM me to get on the launch list. ⠀ A woman with good balance is unstoppable! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #breakthrough #breakthroughtoyou #bodykindness #movetonurture #selflovebootcamp #hatebootcamp #findingyou #newyearnewyou #goslowtogofar #agencypilates #pilatesforeveryone #balance
    Feeling loose and wobbly in all the wrong places after having a baby? ⠀ Take a breath and remember your body just made a whole new human!! ⠀ If you want to return to exercise gently I have a new guide with 5 at home PILATES exercises that are post natal safe once you are cleared for exercise. ⠀ Reconnecting with your core after baby is as much about breath and alignment as it is about building strength. ⠀ If you want the guide to get moving gently at home drop me a DM and I will send you the link. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #postnatalpilates #byronlife #ballinacommunity #ballinamums #corestrength #due2020 #duejanuay #duefebruary #due2021
    Want to feel supple again? Guess what the answer is not 100 sit-ups! ⠀ If you are feeling stuck in your body, tight, weak, wobbly? Then it can be tempting to want to whip yourself into shape with a hard class at the gym. ⠀ That might have done the trick a decade ago but now it just leaves you feeling worse! ⠀ My tip today is reach for a new mindset to find a pathway forward. Instead of judging where you are at, reach for curiosity. ⠀ Ask questions of your body. What does she want? ⠀ Breathe into pain and tightness and be curious about the cause- hold back the judgey thoughts so you hear the reply. ⠀ Breathe deeply, and consciously bring your breath into different areas of your body as you move to build neural connections. ⠀ Enjoy 👂 ⠀ #breakthrough #breakthroughtoyou #bodykindness #movetonurture #selflovebootcamp #hatebootcamp #findingyou #goslowtogofar #agencypilates #pilatesforeveryone #pilateslennoxhead #selfcare #expectless #lowerthebar #mindfulness #bodyfulness #movementmeditation #movementismedicine #mindfulmovement ⠀
    Want better balance? Or you want to teach others to have better balance? ⠀ Carrie and I will discuss proprioception and it’s role in balance. What is proprioception? It’s one of your senses and one of my favourite words. ⠀ Proprioception is how we sense the position of our body parts moving through space. ⠀ If you haven’t met @carriemillerpilates, she coaches Pilates teachers in a range of deep dives into the work. ⠀ If you are not a teacher but you are interested in movement and are not scared off by a bit of anatomical talk there will plenty in this for you too! ⠀ Join us tomorrow as we deep dive into better balance! ⠀ PS. If you would like my latest blog on how to improve your balance DM me and I will send you the link. ⠀ #breakthrough #breakthroughtoyou #bodykindness #movetonurture #selflovebootcamp #hatebootcamp #findingyou #goslowtogofar #agencypilates #pilatesforeveryone #pilateslennoxhead #mindfulness #bodyfulness #movementmeditation #movementismedicine #mindfulmovement

See you soon 🧡🧡 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #mindfulness #bodyfulness #movementmeditation #movementismedicine #mindfulmovement #lennoxheadpilates #lennoxwomen #ballinacommunity #ballinabeaches #privatepilates #duetpilates #northernriverswellness #lennoxheadwellness #lennoxhead #discoverballina #ballinawellness #ballinawomen #ballinasmallbusiness #aussiemidlifewomen #activeageing #pilatesforlife
    Do you ever get in a slump of a mood? I do. I’m a hormonal creature and sometimes my mood can overtake my day. ⠀ I’ve learned over time that the worst thing I can do when I am like this is punish myself. ⠀ I have to be careful in my thoughts and not let my most critical voice get too loud. ⠀ When your mood is dark this is the time to be very gentle. Get to know the things that bring you comfort. ⠀ 🫖 A cup of tea 📺 A favourite tv show 🛏 An early night 🌺 Gentle movement 🍫 Favourite food ⠀ Being gentle and kind with ourselves when we feel crappy helps to develop self compassion. ⠀ There are no pretty pictures to show what this looks like. It’s small, intimate and personal. ⠀ When we feel down is when self love and compassion is most important. Something I am practicing 🙃. ⠀ How do you show self love when you are feeling down? ⠀ #breakthrough #breakthroughtoyou #bodykindness #movetonurture #selfcare #hatebootcamp #findingyou #goslowtogofar #agencypilates #pilatesforeveryone #selfcare #expectless #lowerthebar #mentalhealthmatters
