💪 TERM 4: STRONGER THAN YOU THINK
This coming term we’re going to keep challenging ourselves… 🔥
Not by smashing ourselves into the ground - we’re not bootcamp! 😂

Instead, we’re building strength, control and stamina and seeing what our bodies are actually capable of... because you're stronger than you think. 😉

Expect:
🔥 New challenges
💪 Progressions to keep you moving forward or allow you to stay at your level
✨ Familiar favourites
😏 A few moments of “Wait… I actually did that?!”

And because strength is only half the story, we’ll keep sprinkling in our favourite nervous system resets throughout the term too.

Because feeling strong, feels GREAT 🩵!

😴 Did anyone else nearly fall asleep at the end of class this week? Well… there’s a reason for that!

Our Nervous System Reset + Strength & Stamina term is doing exactly what it promised - and we’re somehow already down to just 3 weeks to go until the end of term!

We're continuing to challenge our strength, build our stamina, plus our nervous system resets had us looking like we were all ready for a nap... the ultimate sign of a good nervous system reset.

Your Homework: get outdoors this weekend
Go for a walk, find some trees, breathe in the fresh air, watch the birds, feel the sun (hopefully!) and give your nervous system a little reset of its own.

Because nature is the best reset of all. 🌱

Have a beautiful weekend everyone 💗

Get stuck in and go get yourself some nature this Sunday. Average weather isn’t a good excuse 🌧️. Lake Kainui is always beautiful and the the fairy houses always make me smile 🧚. 3.1km loop, perfect for pushchairs and wide enough to walk/run with friends 🫶

Tahurangi Translator Tower Loop: plenty of climbing, snow and spectacular views!
A quick little snowman ☃️ building along the way 🙌
Feeling pretty content ☺️

I tried two new things this weekend, and one was bird watching. 🐦
Yep… bird watching (showing my age).
I took my little binoculars, found a lovely spot in nature and sat down.
Which sounds very relaxing, except I’m usually a go, go, go kind of person - walking, running, doing. Sitting still is apparently a skill I need to work on!

A pair of kingfishers, hawks scanning & soaring overhead, fantails doing their usual crazy little fly-bys. Ducks…one was the leader doing all the quacking.

It got me thinking about our nervous system resets we’re doing in Pilates at the moment.
When you slow down, you notice things you usually miss.
So I’m officially practising what I preach and it was really good.

If you love birds, download Bird Nerd NZ app so you can identify and hear their songs x

Nothing gets you through a spicy Pilates set quite like trying to guess the next song. 🎶😅

If you've been wondering why you hear so many acoustic covers... it's because they keep your brain busy, take your mind off the burn (well... a little).

To those of you who don't share my taste in music... soz! 😂 But life's too short to listen to music you don't like, so my Balance Me playlists are staying. You never know, you might even discover a new favourite cover along the way. 🎵💚

Word on the street is the side-lying leg series is getting SPICY 🌶️🔥. Apparently those glutes have finally realised we're serious!
This week we’ll sprinkle in some massage ball nervous system resets to help your body adjust as we hold the temperature 🦵.
So... if you walked a little funny after last week, don't worry, you'll fit right in.

If you can't get to my Pilates or Bowen Therapy, here are a few quick and easy ways to help regulate your nervous system:
🌿 Listen to the rain & bird song in this post
🌿 Take a slow 5–10 minute walk outside.
🌿 Breathe out longer than you breathe in (try in for 4, out for 6).
🌿 Gently massage your jaw, temples and the base of your skull.
🌿 Hum, sing or gargle for a minute or two.
🌿 Stroke your forehead out towards your temples.
🌿 Sit with your bare feet on the grass
🌿 Do a few gentle spinal rolls, shoulder circles or a cat stretch.
🌿 Put one hand on your chest and one on your tummy, and simply slow your breathing.
🌿 Splash cold water on your face

Small, consistent moments of regulation can make a real difference. You don't need an hour - sometimes just a couple of minutes is enough to tell your body, "You're safe."

And if you'd like a little more guidance, you know where to find me. 💚

What an awesome turnout we had for Week 1 of our Term 3: Strength & Stamina PLUS Nervous System Reset! 💙

Last week we explored the vagus nerve, weaving nervous system resets throughout our strength work to help the body move with less tension and more ease.

This week we're shifting our focus to the sacral parasympathetic nerves, sprinkling gentle resets through our strength sets to encourage the body to relax, recover and move more efficiently.

Last week our small stability balls and yoga blocks helped provide gentle pressure and feedback to release tension. This week the bigger stability balls will make an appearance, giving us even more feedback, support and those lovely moments of gentle pressure that help the body let go.

Strength isn't just about building muscle... it's about teaching your nervous system to feel safe, resilient and ready to move.

Can't wait to do it all again this week! 💪🧠
