A beautiful practice session with - we both really needed the movement that day 🥰

A common mistake I see during the Pilates Rhomboids exercise is an inability to stabilise the scapula so that they stay flat on the back in the first part of this exercise.

This is not surprising, shoulder / arm work exercises tend to be in the advanced phase of learning & practice because the shoulder complex is, well, complex!

It takes a lot of practice and body awareness to know what to do / what to feel when it comes to shoulder stability. It’s taken me a year to start to understand my shoulder placement! Even so, I can see some shrugging, particularly where I had an injury but baby steps.

My top tip? Slow it right down…trying to pump through it is not going to target the specific muscles we need to target. Second tip is from my friend Lola, “shoulders love load”, safely load them to get them stronger and help prevent injury. Exercises on all fours are a great place to start.

Desk job? Do this to wake up your hamstrings and glutes - your spine will love it too.
You’ll feel the hamstrings more on the chair!

As a new business, it’s not easy when you have empty classes or no clients on some days. The cost impact is real, but perspective is everything.

I’ve enjoyed my free morning today - my son is with grandma, I woke up at 9:30, had a massage and some good food.

To the mama’s who are struggling postpartum, whose bodies don’t feel like their own, I see you. News coming soon.

Viva Core is working hard to reduce barriers to movement and women’s health education. If you’re pregnant or a mum to be and interested in how we can help you reduce pain, learn more about your body and improve body confidence - drop me a DM and you’ll be first to hear of this exciting programme launch.

As for the empty classes, I know that a time is coming when I’ll be fully booked and have back to back sessions - so for now, I’ll sip on my tea ☕️.

Here’s to living life one day a time - Iike is too short to be living by a 10 year business plan. Flexibility (of spine and of mind 😉) is so important, make plans, yes, but don’t think you have to stick to them rigidly- especially if they’re not working.

The part I love the most about where my business is right now is that I can make changes with minimal impact to service.

Refining my Pilates practice with friends, thank you 💕

Tips on lateral flexion welcome! I tend to lean forward and crunch.

Happy Sunday ☀️

Are you finding that stretching isn’t helping your pelvic or hip pain?

Check your pelvic floor first - I encourage this if you are a mum who hasn’t had one before and are experiencing pain or discomfort, or if you’re going through peri-menopause and / or menopause with similar issues.

Remember, pelvic floor dysfunction can present with symptoms like incontinence, not fully emptying, painful in*******se, groin, pelvic or inner thigh pain.

Once you know where you stand (and even before to be honest) - Alignment is important to make sure your muscles are working from the right baseline. Then you need to work to strengthen weak muscle groups - train them both concentrically and eccentrically. This is where Pilates comes in.

If you have questions - comment below or DM me.

Get to know your body. It’s beautiful.
