24/04/2026
At the start of this year, I made a quiet decision that 2026 was going to be about me too, not just professionally, but personally.
For years, like so many of us, I have put my family first and myself somewhere further down the list, much further down the list! This week feels like a small but important shift.
Ballet for the very first time earlier this week, and today my first in person Pilates class, which I absolutely loved. I’m under no illusion that getting out of bed tomorrow will not be graceful in any sense. I seem to have discovered muscles that have been quietly hiding for years, but it was completely worth it.
What I did not expect was how much I would enjoy the sense of connection as well. Being in a room with others, all learning, all focusing, all having a bit of a laugh, it reminded me that movement is not just about the body, it’s about community, energy, and doing something for yourself.
Having an instructor who is also a physio made it feel safe, purposeful, and genuinely supportive, which is exactly what I talk about within my RESPECT® model when it comes to Physical Movement.
This is not about extremes or pushing yourself into the ground, it’s about showing up for yourself, trying something new, and building strength in a way that supports your life.
So this is me, gently putting myself back on the list.
Now I am curious, what do you prefer, Pilates or yoga, or have you tried something completely new recently?
