just a quick note to say a big congratulations to our new Advanced and Diploma Mat Instructors. The practical assessments on Saturday where of a very high standard.

Now you know what I am going to say next !! now that you have reached that standard DONT lose it by not practicing — in Pilates ‘we need to sweat the small stuff ‘ all those small details of hands / feet –  core connections – and we can only do that by consistent practice.

So guys please please keep the practice up and maintain that standard – dont make it just a one day exam wonder !!

Keep an eye on the post – Certs and Diplomas on the way

Again well done

Regards Joyce and all at BODYFIRM

Have a wonderful day

-Joseph Pilates, letter to clients, 1939

Good morning every one Happy Wednesday — have you managed to move this week ? 30 minutes of Pilates every day will not make you feel better, help with the activites of daily living (ADL’s) but will give you 30minutes to your self. where your mind can unwind and for that brief moment you will feel fully connected

So come on find some space and time and just a few flowing movements to open your joints, your muscles, your heart , your lungs and your mind …  get moving

Namaste to you all today

Joyce
