I was asked to contribute to the Courier on this very topical area this week ! Do we need menopause health checks ? To read the full article you will need to subscribe to .uk but I’ll give you a clue …..I think we are all distracted by fancy supplements, health checks and miracle cures when what we really need are simple honest healthy habits. Do you agree ?? If you are a Pilates teacher, check out our menopause and Pilates course get booked in and join the debate x

Great day at Menopause Awareness for Pilates Teachers thank you for such an inspiring day ! thank you for having us in your lovely studio

Happy International Menopause Day !! I even found moisturiser in Portugal which is dedicated to peri-menopausal skin. There appears to be a sea- change in how we talk about, explore and treat menopausal symptoms and there are so many more resources popping up to help. Did you know that Pilates can be a fantastic peri- and post- menopausal resource for de-stressing, helping those joints and tendons and building strength as well as improving mood and self esteem ! Watch this space for more Pilates and the menopause information and get on touch of you would like to join a class # # #

Oncore in on tour this week ! In the Algarve 😍and this is the location of my beach yoga class with the lovely I so needed that movement - thank you so much - and the setting is breathtaking 😍🥰

This infographic shows clearly how many systems and factors are involved in keeping is balanced - it is so clear and helpful to see just how complex this process is !
I love seeing the progress my clients make when working on balance in class - we can help with muscular strength, stability and flexibility plus proprioception and the promotion of upright posture
Then we sometimes challenge balance further my removing the visual input ……but only when there is something to hold on to and stay safe !

Balance Awareness Week

⭐Balance Awareness Week ⭐
19th to 25th September 2021

Your balance system is a complex network of inputs and outputs from the inner ear, eyes, joints and muscles. If one of these systems breaks down or limits their communication to another area then it can result in loss of balance. Vestibular Audiologists can help determine what area is malfunctioning if you become dizzy.

Anyone coming along to Pilates on a Friday at Forthill …..take care as this work takes place soon ! Having said that …Timber is brilliant and will be super helpful with the traffic management

🚩🌳During the late summer we were advised that the trees on our driveway were suffering from Ash Dieback disease. We have worked with Timber and the council arborist to put a plan of action together. Unfortunately the trees need to be removed because of the disease and their proximity to the play park, houses and members of the public but we are planting 2 new trees for every tree felled.

⚠️ Starting today for 2 weeks, work will be taking place at Forthill to cut down the trees bordering the driveway and the play park, and then moving on to the Leylandii beside the clubhouse.

🚦A traffic management program will be in place and although access will still be available there may be delays and also debris on the drive.

❗️Please take extra care when arriving and departing from Forthill.
