Joe said this one year before he died at the age of 87.

Well luck him he started young – for us unfortunates who do have injuries and postural issues etc – thankfully Pilates  is keeping us together !

Never to early or too late to start – so lets get out there and knock on doors and inspire the young and not so young to get involved is this timless wonderful technique

Have a fanastic day

The art of contrology proves that the only real guide to your true age lies not in years or how you THINK you feel but as you ACTUALLY are as infallibly indicated by the degree of natural and normal flexibility enjoyed by your spine throughout life.

Joe Pilates

Well folks that just about sums it up !!!!  Have a wonderful  sunny Thursday evening.

-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

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

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

But we had a great time as well, what a lovely group of ladies at our most recent Mat I II course. Now the hard work starts girls, so at least 1 hour per day practice between here and your exams

And remember dont be strangers any questions in the meantime come back immediately

Great to have met and worked with you all

Regards Joyce
