It’s been lovely to be back at Balance again, seeing all my regulars and lots of new faces too.
We’ve been taking it slowly in class this week, going over some basics, focusing on what we are doing, increasing our body awareness, engaging the correct muscles, releasing others……..we have really been taking our time to ‘be’ in our bodies.
As those of you that have been with me for some time know, I absolutely love taking this time for us to ‘be’ in our bodies and to just ‘feel’ Pilates in action.
I have been drawing your attention again to the wonderful benefits of Breathing, so wanted to remind you again of the many benefits.
September is a busy time for us all, sometimes if we are not careful, we can get overwhelmed and our stress levels can rapidly rise, so whatever you are doing, take just a couple of minutes to do some deep belly breathing and notice how wonderful it makes you feel 🙂
