Fascia Workshop - Exploration and Expression

I am surely blessed - I get to work at something I am passionate about and in doing so I get to explore and express with some really fantastic people

And yesterday [June 7th 2014] was no exception, myself and 16 fellow Pilates Professionals got to explore [all be it only an intro] the wonderful world of Movement and Fascia

We rebounded, rolled, mermaid, beast, crabbed,bridged, crocodile'd and pressed up - just some of the movements and positions we found ourselves in - we joked, laughed, ribbed each other but above all we enjoyed both the company and exploration.

So as per your request - I will put some dates together for the near future so we can explore the wonderful world of Fascia some more

To you all thank you for your company and for your very kind expressions of thanks

Continued success

Namaste

Joyce

In my opinion the Reformer stands out on its own from the other pieces for its versatility While BODYFIRM [est 1998] have always had a fully equip studio [reformer, trap table, barrels etc] most people are more familiar with Mat Pilates, however in the last few years more studios have opened in Dubl...

Tabata - High Intensity Interval Training

Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with - the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise system Tabata – What is it? Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results - he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it wor...
