Hello 2023!
Happy New Year to you all! The last 3 weeks have flown by my end and have been crammed full of fun, family and relaxation. Perhaps a little bit too much relaxation! I took Joseph Pilates at his word: ‘By all means, never fail to get all the sunshine and fresh air you can’ and headed off to Dubai for a week after the close of Term. I had a wonderful time staying with close friend s who live just off the Palm.
For the first time I flew with Emirates and was really impressed by both the standard and service even as an Economy passenger. Filling in the time in the air, can be tedious I feel, but not this time. I came across two brilliant sources on the inflight entertainment that I think might be worth sharing. I missed the Wim Hof series on TV, earlier in the year as I don’t usually enjoy the Celebrity Reality Shows- but this one was like no other. The use of breath work really drew me in as I totally get the importance from a Pilates view point. Please find the link below for those that are interested:
the other source
was the work of Brene Brown- who some may be familiar with from Ted Talk lectures…
I was transfixed by the mini series on the Inflight ‘Well Being- Channel’ where she discussed her latest book Atlas of the Heart (non-fiction book written in 2021). The book describes human emotions and experiences and the language used to understand them. Again might not appeal to all but here is a link where she discusses her work- a big thumbs up from me!
I hope all clients are feeling refreshed after time off from the usual routine too and ready and raring to go starting this coming week! Later today I will be unpausing subscriptions and weekly payments will resume for the coming Term.
I still have a couple of spaces left for the Thursday Express Class and two mats for the new Sunningwell Thursday morning class.
Numbers unfortunately, were not high enough for the proposed Sunday Morning Pilates Props Class so this is currently onhold. I have added a couple of extra sessions to the Steventon Studio timetable for 121 classes, starting on the 7th Jan.
For those signed up for this Blog- you will receive no more than 3 update emails a month. This year my target is to cut back on the use of Social Media- ha ha!
Enjoy the rest of New Year’s Day and I look forward to seeing you all very soon!
