    "A Private Pilates session with Brigid is part targeted exercise, part massage and part physical therapy. Afterwards I feel like I have had all three!"

    We know exercise is essential for physical and mental wellbeing. But what if you are not a huge fan of exercise? Or what if “exercise” feels like it will take too much time or require special clothes or be too hard or may cause injury. What if we swap out “exercise” for movement? Gentle movement that lets you focus on your alignment can be challenging and nourishing. Move to Nurture Pilates also teaches you how to move well everyday. When you sprinkle movement though your day it helps maintain your mind-body connection, it helps maintain your deep breathing pattern and it helps release tension. This all helps you to build strength through all your activities. Reach out to join a class or come to the studio and get all the attention! #pilatesforeverybody #movetonurture #gentlereminder #gentlenessispowerful #gentlenessisstrength
    Shallow breathing is a major cause of tiredness during the day. If you are spending hours sitting at a desk, or in meetings, it is likely that your ribs are not moving much so your lungs are not expanding properly and you are not getting enough oxygen. When you are in this state going into high intensity exercise doesn’t necessarily move you into a deep breathing pattern, although it can. I prefer to include some specific rib mobility drills throughout my day or during my exercise warm up to get my deep breathing pattern back.

    Are you feeling tired? If so there is a good chance you think you need to earn your self care. You don’t. ⠀ Scheduling in breaks, having things to look forward to and moving my body lovingly everyday are ways I like to self care. ⠀ I want to shout out to other local businesses who exist to help us self care! @innerbeautylennox, @blowbarballina and @foundationhealth ⠀ These guys exist to help you stay well and feel great everyday, especially right now we all need that. ⠀ Schedule a little self care this week.

    This one blows my mind. My mentor @lesleylogan said this to me in a recent coaching call and it has become my catch cry. ⠀ I did not learn this, in fact I learnt the opposite. Self care was a reward, when I had done a good job or when everything else was done. ⠀ But you and I both know everything is never done so earning your self care is cruel trap. ⠀ Your self care must come first. If we are to be well. ⠀ People who inspire me to this are @clairesparrowpilates @carriemillerpilates @arcpilates Thanks for your leadership and inspiration. ⠀ Do you have a self care tip to share? We would all love to hear it!! ⠀ PS Head to my bio to get weekly self care inspiration direct to your inbox. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #breakthrough #breakthroughtoyou #bodykindness #movetonurture #selflovebootcamp #hatebootcamp #findingyou #goslowtogofar #agencypilates #pilatesforeveryone #pilateslennoxhead #pilatesballina #selfcaretips
