    Client of the month - Belinda Lopez! ⠀ Belinda has enjoyed careers in dance and travel. She call Byron Bay home and has practiced Pilates for more than ten years. ⠀ As a creative she shares her talents @paperlovebookarts ⠀ Belinda is a regular in the Byron Bay 12noon Pilates mat class. I love how she chuckles to herself when things get hard. She says: "I love how the more subtle the exercise often the more complicated it is. There is no such thing as an easy Pilates class." #selfcare #ballinanow #ballinasurfclub #pilatesballina #ballinabyron #byronlife #ballinacommunity #ballinacreatives #ballinamums#midlifewomen #byronlife #byronbaypilates #pilatesforeverybody #matpilates #pilatesover50 #movetonurture #agencypilates
    New routines- a great way to break out of a rut (when you can’t travel). ⠀ The school holidays are done! And I won’t lie they were a bit of a disappointment. Our travel was canceled and it rained for the first week 😱 ⠀ I found myself in a bit of rut. Binging tv at night and not making time for my morning routine. And I started to feel really crappy about everything. ⠀ I realised that what I love about travel is a change to my routine. So I decided to get very intentional about my mornings and evenings (the rest of the time I am juggling lots of hats). ⠀ But early mornings and late evenings are mine. So instead of squandering them hiding from the cold under my doona or binge watching tv I decided to hit the reset button. ⠀ I keep it really simple. No screens after 9 - this is wind down time -hitting the pillow 10. ⠀ Mornings, my main goal is to get moving before 7. ⠀ These two commitments to myself turn me from feeing crappy to feeing like the master of my own destiny. 👸 ⠀ It’s good to know it’s that simple! What turns your mind around ? How do you get out of a rut when you can’t travel? ⠀ #breakthrough #breakthroughtoyou #bodykindness #movetonurture #selflovebootcamp #hatebootcamp #findingyou #newyearnewyou #goslowtogofar #agencypilates #pilatesforeveryone #pilateslennoxhead #postnatalpilates #byronlife #ballinacommunity #ballinamums #due2020 #duejanuay #duefebruary #due2021 #mumlife #byronmums

    Want to find out what a juicy Pilates class feels like? Well, it can only really be experienced. We start with muscle release, then strength work, then stretch and lengthen. We always begin with the breath and a focus on alignment. We build awareness of our own range of movement (maintaining good alignment) and we usually have a good belly laugh or two somewhere in the class. Get in touch to try...
    Manual therapy is a great compliment to Pilates when trying to find your optimal alignment and learn new movement patterns. ⠀ Many people get a little confused between different types of manual therapies, Physio, Chiro, Osteo etc. What’s the difference? And how do I know which is best for me? ⠀ So I sat down with Dr Andy McLeod, and Dr Sarah McCahon from @foundation.health to discover what Osteopathy is and what it isn’t and how it can help you to feel great in your body. ⠀ Most healing journeys begin with an injury and both these practitioners started as patients. What I love about this interview is the focus on education and supporting patients to be active participants in their health. ⠀ If you are in the #ballinacommunity this is a great opportunity to learn about the local practitioners you can call on if you have a niggling injury that just won’t go away. ⠀ I am planning to talk to other manual therapists as well to understand the approaches different practitioners bring. Their thoughts on functional movement and how their therapy can support this. ⠀ So stay tuned and if you are a local manual therapist who would like to share your approach send me a DM. ⠀ #ballinanow #ballina #ballinasurfclub #ballinasurf #pilatesballina #discoverballina #ballinabusiness #ballinashirecouncil #ballinabyron #ballinabeach #ballinachamber #ballinacoastparkrun #postnatalpilates #byronlife #ballinacommunity #ballinamums

    I struggle with this! Do you? Since I was little my body has always been perceived through other peoples eyes 👀. ⠀ I have persisted to reclaim my experience of my body from the inside, accountable to no one but myself. ⠀ I succeed and I falter. But I find it helpful to remember that I am not an ornament. ⠀ My body belongs to me and the more connected to my body I am the more I am my true self. ⠀ You deserve to inhabit your body 🧡 no apology, no explanation. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #breakthrough #breakthroughtoyou #bodykindness #movetonurture #selflovebootcamp #hatebootcamp #findingyou #newyearnewyou #goslowtogofar #agencypilates #pilatesforeveryone
