Posture – Powerful or Powerless?

Posture – Powerful or Powerless?


Ladies have you thought about your ‘body language’ / posture and how it can affect how powerful or powerless you can feel about yourself?

I know from my background as a Pilates Master Coach the benefits of 'great' posture.Structurally a good and balanced posture can reduce stress on the body’s structures, can create open and fluid movement that assists us when coping with the adl’s [activities of daily living] By learning and developing strategies, endurance, flexibility and strength to maintain this open and fluid posture. You learn to move better, breathe better, live better.

NOW  imagine if by adopting a ‘powerful pose/posture’ for as little as 2 minutes per day offered positive effects on how you feel about yourself, how others perceive your and lowered your cortisol levels! [stress hormone]

Well that is exactly what Amy Cuddy’s [Social Psychologist / Professor at Harvard Business School] research revealed. Per Ms Cuddy “tiny tweaks – can lead to BIG changes”

And they do, since seeing this Ted talk I practice myself daily and have introduced its principles with great effect.

Pilates [Contrology] is not a system of haphazard exercises.....

Transform your body, become as supple as and move with the grace of a tiger "Pilates [Contrology] is not a system of haphazard exercises designed to produce only bulging muscles. ... Nor does Pilates [Contrology] err either by over-developed a few muscles at the expense of all others with resulting loss of grace and suppleness, or a a sacrifice of the heart or lungs.  Rather, it was conceived to limber and stretch muscles and ligaments so that your body will be as supple as that of a cat  and not muscular like that of the body of a brewery-truck horse, or the muscle-bound body of the professional weight lifter you so much admire at the circus" Transform your mind, breathe deeply, relax deeply, visualise - let your brain create! Pilates will free your body from  nervous tension and over-fatigue - your body will become the ideal shelter provided by nature for housing a well-balanced mind. Pilates will free your mind, breathe deeply, relax, utilise our ...

Add Essential Oils for your Heatlh

I hear it all the time ‘I want to be fitter’ when in fact what we really mean is we want to be slimmer/ look better.   Of course, we all want to look and feel better – but not at the expense of our ‘health’ -Health is so much more than a physical image or numbers on a scale. As Health Coach I believe ‘healthier’ is more than the sum of how slim we look or any number on a scale – being ‘healthier’ is three dimensional – 3D – it’s about eating nutritious foods, that allow your body and mind to thrive. It all starts with nutrition you just cannot train your body or ‘run’ out of bad or poor eating habits. From my personal perspective it’s about the nutrient quality of the foods – keeping our ‘guts’ healthy to keep our immune system healthy, that in turn provides us with the physical and psychological energy that motivates us to move, be more active, cope with stress, be social interactive and enjoy life’s little and big adventures   As well as eating n...

We survived !!!!

TOTAL CORE & BARRE COURSE Well we did it; we survived the two most intense days. It was fun but it was tough and I have seen my wonderful colleague in a very different light!!! He truly became ballet master extraordinaire, but the hard work paid off, by the end of the course this evening we could all run through the program from start to finish with quite convincing technique. We promised no nonsense tough Pilates and Barre program, no props, no gimmicks, we would only utilize our bodies the floor and the barre and I think we delivered what it said on the tin... I would like to thank you guys as a group for the fantastic participation and feedback it was, as always a pleasure  working with you.
