Humbled by your kind comments

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Hello, I just want to express how humbled my self and Emma are by your kind comments reference the recent Pilates for Breast Cancer Workshop.

As mentioned we will be in touch with any updates

Cheers Joyce

Below is a sample

Petra Barnes Many thanks to Joyce, Emma and Bernie for all the hard work you put into preparing and delivering an inspiring workshop on such an important topic. When I was working my way through the superb manual again I only realized how much material was covered, well presented and put into practice with a careful ecercise program that is so much n eeded by a vulnerable group of women. I always feel uplifted after Bodyfirm workshops and confident to pass the knowledge on to the world. Keep up the good work in the same warm caring and humourous way as always

Julien Joly Fab workshop, really excited with the new material and look forward to putting it into practice, gently and with great care. Thanks Joyce, you’re a starˇ

Mathew Stevens Excellent workshop. Very informative. Thank you both

Eileen O’sullivan My brain is buzzing, so much to take in, I want to replay the day again in my mind, so I haven’t missed anything. Feel humbled by the courage and bravery of these women, I aspire to that . The manual has already been read and will be re-read… Your ground work in this has been superb, will enable us to teach with integrity, thks Joyce & Emma

Breast Cancer Restorative exercise Workshop

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Hi Folks, just a quick note to thank you all for your attendance and feed back on

our Pilates workshop for women living and surviving breast cancer.

It was great to see old faces and welcome new ones to our studio. It was  a pity about the ash, as we missed Rachel from London, (understandably she could not risk it just in case! ) we look forward to seeing her again soon.

Your feed back was fantastic, Emma and I are both trilled you enjoyed your day, the hard work and effort was well worth it.

Remember do come back to us with any questions you may have, and remember take your time with the material, it is complex enough.

We will keep in touch with you about the future developments on the course.

Yours Joyce

BODYFIRM, Breast Cancer Workshop

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010


On may 8th we are running an informative workshop for suitably qualified Pilates instructors  on Pilates based restorative movements for women recovering from breast cancer – this is not a substitute for any medical / therapy treatment -

our mission with this workshop is to work with the  growing support for research that suggests moderate exercise can aid post-operative breast cancer recovery and improve quality of life for women who been through a breast cancer operation.
In the field of health and fitness, as its main focus is to ‘building body core strength and stability’, Pilates is acknowledged as an accessible form of training where exertion is considered to be relatively moderate.
Employing Pilates to aid recuperation is not a new idea. Specific Pilates programs have been successfully employed to aid recovery and recuperation in many health conditions.
Progressive Pilates for Breast Cancer Rehabilitation is devised on the central Pilates principle of building body core strength and stability.
This advanced Pilates program is sensitively designed to assist breast cancer survivors with a comfortable recovery and resumption of a more active lifestyle.
The holistic program is designed to aid the restoration of harmony, strength and mobility as well as range of motion not only in the shoulder girdle but in the entire body. It also addresses muscular imbalances due to specific surgeries.
Our workshop will provide the instructor with the knowledge and skills to assist women who are in post-operative recovery and help them in rebuilding their strength, self-esteem and quality of life

Instructors  join us on May 8th at our workshop it promises to be an inspirational day.
