Kelsey Pakes Mind and Body

✨ New Workshop Series ✨

Following on from the first workshop in April, I realised that more time was needed to focus on specific areas of the body that are particularly prone to injury, lack of mobility and flexibility.

So I’ve extended it to one hour and a half per workshop which will include a handout with all the stretches and mobility exercises we do. We will focus on a specific area for each workshop and hopefully as well as feeling the benefit of the movements, you’ll learn more about the amazing human body and how you can look after yours ♥️

Suitable for anyone and everyone 🤗
£12 per workshop or all three for £30.
Booking live on my website or see on the post other booking options: https://kpmindbody.co.uk/timetable-pricing/yoga-flow-classes/

Limited spaces, hope to see you there 🥳🎉 x

So as of June, I’m going fully self employed 😳😅🥳

This wasn’t really the plan right now (it always was going to happen at some point!) but sometimes things happen and as scary as it feels, I’m just going for it ♥️

Now taking on more PT clients 🎉 all details on the post but please feel free to share or reach out if you have any questions 🥰

Free 30 minute consultations prior to any booking.

I’ve been a PT for 7 years now and my focus and outlook on life is so different from when I started.

I’m here to guide and support you to being the best version of YOU.

To help you create habits that will support you for the rest of your life not just for the short term. ♥️

Some beautiful moments of an amazing 6 day course with Sally Parkes. Pregnancy Yoga, Post natal and Parent & Baby Yoga 🧘‍♀️

Very excited for what’s to come ✨🙏

There are so many benefits to moving during pregnancy, and a big takeaway from the weekend was kindness to our bodies and listening to our intuition. I find it all fascinating and honestly mind blowing what the female body does to bring life into the world♥️ to all the past, present t and future mums out there… YOU are amazing!

And I hope soon I’ll be able to create a new community & support network 🫶

Very excited to be launching two new classes🤩
Website updates will be happening too so please bare with me 🙏

Please share and spread the word 🙏 both classes are Yoga Flow & suitable for all levels. All very welcome! If you don’t have a mat please contact me ahead of the class so I can provide one for you 🥰

I look forward to seeing you on the mat,

No filter on this one!
A reminder how healing nature can be. How great walking is for you and how colourful life is without filters or edits 🌈

My plan of small group PT didn’t work out. My plan of a 6 week programme didn’t work out. Instead of looking at it as a negative, it’s clear now that it’s not the right direction for me anymore.

Instead I have two courses booked and I’m so excited to learn 🤩

This year I’ll be doing courses in Pregnancy Yoga, Post natal and Parent and Baby Yoga as well as a Reformer Pilates course! 🎉

I’ll still be doing PT and keeping on my current clients - but I’m really excited to have a new focus and can’t wait to share with future clients 🙏♥️

Still more ideas for next year but let’s kickstart with this one 🙊🙏

Equinox24 - such an awesome weekend with great people in a beautiful location 🙌
We had a team of 6 to do as many 10kms as possible in 24hrs.
I took away so much from this weekend!
I looked at these photos and straight away hated my legs. Then I remembered what they’d just done for me.
I beat myself for doing 2 laps instead of 3 because ‘I’m a coach, I should be able to do it’. Then I remembered - my body told me to stop to prevent a full injury.

The best part was doing it as a team knowing there was always someone at the finish line waiting for you 😊
Lap 1: 56:55
Lap 2: 59:54
And thank you to my dad who took my third lap and smashed it🥰

So next time you’re picking your body apart or wishing you looked like someone else or determining your self worth based on what you look like… remember how lucky we are to move our bodies and what our bodies do for us daily. We have this body for one life. Let’s love and look after it ♥️

A lot of reflection as I end one decade and enter another tomorrow. It’s crazy to think the person I was 10 years ago is still within me, but also SO different.

‘Growing older is a privilege’. Times in my life I genuinely didn’t feel that at all and other times I felt on top of the world.
As Ronan Keating once sang, life is a rollercoaster 🎢 & we just gotta ride it. I’m grateful for every tear and every laugh. I’m grateful for every person that has been in and out of my life this far. Every opportunity and every disappointment.

We never stop growing or learning. We choose how we react and respond. Live for the here and now - because now is all we have and as I tip tap away writing this, I am so very grateful for everything and everyone in my life ♥️ Grateful to do what I love and thank you to those who have and continue to support me xx love always xx

Such a wholesome weekend. After a few mental weeks, I needed a week to re set. What I really needed was a weekend outside & good company. Reconnecting and giving myself time to just be (as well as work) and appreciate the world around me💚

Thoughts from last week:
- Less is more
- Doing too much doesn’t earn you any points or badges. Burnout isn’t a goal.
- Getting outside is the best medicine. You heal from the inside out 💚
- Life is so short and so precious. Make time for the people you love.
- Follow your heart even if it doesn’t seem possible or logical. We only regret the chances we don’t take🙏
- Be grateful for the little things.

Feeling grateful. 🙏

Have a fab week ahead xx

The diary is open for new clients 😊🎉

Now taking on:
💚 1-1 or 2-1 Yoga Clients
💚 1-1 or Small Group PT
💚 Available online or in person

Please message or email [email protected] for further information and a free 30 minute consultation 🙏

I’m passionate about movement & making it accessible to everyone. It doesn’t matter what ‘level’ or ability. Whether you’ve never exercised, you’re getting back into it or you’re a gym bunny…my mission is to help you realise your own power and potential to be the best version of you😊 🙌

Pulling myself away from the Easter chocolate like 😅🐣
(Not quite 70+kg of chocolate but definitely enough🙈)

Don’t worry about how many crème eggs or Malteser bunnies you’ve eaten… instead use that same mental energy into bringing the balance back. Go to that class, go for that walk or make that nutritious dinner 🙌

We don’t live in the past, we live in the present 🙏

Casually checking if I smell 🤣

(Joking😅)
It’s been a while since I posted. Life has been a little crazy to say the least and I feel my presence on here has been little.

That being said, I’ve always been an ‘in person person’ and I try to post when it ‘feels right to’ (not great for marketing really I know 🤣🤦‍♀️)

But as we entered a new astrological year yesterday and a new moon today - there is so much energy to harness, use and share🙌 if the traditional new year didn’t resonate with you or you feel like you need a new kickstart - THIS is the time 🎉

Renew your spirit, bring the sunshine into your life and watch yourself grow 🙏

Currently taking on new yoga clients whether online or in person. I’ll be offering this at a discounted rate in order to gain new experience and improve my teaching 🙏 get in touch if this might be what you or someone you know may be looking for or if you’re looking to try yoga for the first time 🫶 xx

Stepping into the New Year with a grateful heart and a focused mind🙏

Don’t feel you have to rush. We have a whole year ahead of us - take your time to decide what you want to learn, how you want to live. Often we put so much pressure on ourselves to make huge changes all at once because it’s a new year.

Small steps, one at a time over a period of time will lead to long lasting change.

Very excited for the year ahead - lots of plans and ideas. It’s time to plant the seeds🥰

Happy New Year all 🫶

Taking ourselves out of our comfort zone can help us to grow and learn more about ourselves.

It’s not about being better than anyone else. It’s not about ‘punishing’ ourselves or feeling we need to be more than we are.

Don’t wait for a new year or a birthday or a holiday. Health is for life, for everyday. What do you want your life to look like? Take those steps. Take those little leaps of faith. Create your life and go out and LIVE IT ♥️

You have everything you need within you 🙏

A late post as the last couple of months have flown by and been crazily busy! Starting a new job alongside my yoga classes and pt clients, moving house and becoming an auntie 🥹♥️

But I am so very grateful for all of it & very happy that and I had another yoga and willow weaving day this month 👌🥰

The weather held out for us and we made the last of yoga practice outdoors as we welcomed the autumn equinox 🙏

We’re already planning dates for 2023 🎉 it really is a beautiful and healing day! Hope to see you there next time 🤩

A little late with this post 🙈 but we had the most wonderful time last Sunday with our Yoga & Willow Weaving Day 🙏💕

Happy Summer Solstice and International Yoga Day 🧘‍♀️♥️

Celebrating the longest day of the year with a practice tonight online & hopefully getting outside🙌🙏

Today marks the beginning of the second half of the year. This time is great to reflect on all you have overcome, achieved and learnt. Where do you want to take your energy now? What can you let go of?

A celebration of light. A celebration of the natural world. A celebration of you. Don’t be afraid to step into you light and live a life you love 💕

Namaste 🙏 xx

Look within. There is always light. There is always hope. There is always a dream to wish and a reason to smile 💚 darkness has no power to swallow the light☀️ the key to it all lies within.

First sprint triathlon completed today. Huge thank you to for support with all the training and advice🙏 literally loved it and caught the bug for last minute bike assistance and to my friends and family who’ve heard me talk about this for months 🤣🙈

This was more for my mental than physical health. I’m not ashamed to say the last month, maybe slightly longer has been challenging on my mental health (I think having Covid triggered it!) I’ve been lucky to have a lot of support and people to talk to but today I felt pretty proud of myself for the first time in a long time. Not to boost the ego, but purely to give myself some trust and confidence back in myself.

well done to everyone for getting over the line 🥳 it reminded why I started coaching, why I love movement and how good it is to try something new.

You have the power to change your mind, your thoughts and your life. Find what it is you love and do it ❤️

💃NEW FOR 2022 💃
How are we all doing? There can be a lot of expectation of a new year.
