Have you ever done something without giving it a second thought? How'd it work out for you? As one who struggles with perfection paralysis doing anything without a second thought, third, fou-you get the idea is not my norm by any means. But, last week casting all thoughts aside to take action worked out for me. I had finally returned to the gym. I won't bore you with how long its been. I was all excited to take a dance class I had seen in the schedule. Only when I got to the gym, there was no dance class. I wandered around. Maybe I had gotten the wrong room. Next thing I know I wandered right into Erma's pilates class. I had never taken pilates, but it was just getting started and I thought, why not. I had no idea what I was in for, but I didn't give it a second thought. What happened next? Sore muscles happened. Very sore muscles. Nevertheless, I found that I loved it. Had I spent time debating I may have missed my opportunity to have a cool new experience. I learned that sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself (and your business or career) is to just go for it. I'd love to hear your story. When did you just go for it? What happened next? #womenentrepreneurs #momsinbusiness #womenempoweringwomen

I’ve always loved working out 🏋🏽♀️ The gym is almost like my playground where I thrive on taking on new challenges. I love starting something new and working relentlessly until I’ve mastered it (or feel competent at least :)) I’ve conquered quite a few workouts from hot yoga 🧘 to boxing 🥊 ! It’s never about impressing others—it’s about setting my own goals and pushing myself to surpass them. That’s where I get my kick 🔥 . What workouts do you like to do? ♻️ Found this post helpful?

Time won't just appear for your workouts—you have to carve it out. Starting from zero? Remember, progress doesn't demand an hour or even 30 minutes. Just 10-15 minutes a day can set you on the right path. Start small and build from there. 💪✨ #FitnessJourney #StartSmall #ProgressNotPerfection #ConsistencyIsKey #FitnessMotivation #10MinuteWorkouts #DailyCommitment

I fell for that 90-day Wall Pilates Challenge, and I learned these three (3) lessons about entrepreneurship. 1. It's about progress, not perfection. 2. It takes 30 days to break a habit, 60 days to see progress, and 90 days to see results. 3. We don't rise to the level of our ambitions; we fall to the level of our systems. What insights do you learn from your daily exercise routine?

Aston Patterning or Aston Kinetics is based on the observations and work of Judith Aston regarding human movement, structure, learning, and self-expression. Key features of this paradigm are every body is asymmetrical, unique, three-dimensional, and spiraling in motion and form. A dancer and movement expert, Judith originally learned and practiced body work with Ida Rolf. As her work developed she observed that the body responded better when muscle trauma was allowed to release and unwind rather than being forced back into alignment. This was best accomplished by moving into and through one’s asymmetrical pattern (or physical reaction to the trauma) to obtain release. Aston pilates and movement which differs in subtle ways but can help the body release tension and achieve great efficiency and ease of movement. The training has helped me understand and recognise how to help my clients with more depth into referred pain. When you attend my Pilates classes either in person or online I will help you to recognize some of your body patterns that cause your inefficiency and pain. You might be surprised at what they are- it is not always where you might think. You will learn to move through your asymmetry become more efficient, gain release and achieve greater functional balance. And it will happen without feeling as if you are fighting or forcing yourself. ⛱️😎🌞 I'm starting my Summer Holiday morning mobility 7 day Challenge this Monday the 29th of July.

This is my sanctuary. Every day, working my mind and body keeps me (mostly) centered—though, let’s be real, it can get dicey. But no matter how heavy my mind feels with stress, my body stays fit and ready to ninja-kick on demand. Focusing on technique gives my brain a much-needed break from work… well, for about an hour. But my business brain never clocks out. Instead of that “mind-body connection”, I’m deep in calculations: 🤔 How many classes a day? At how many people per class? At what rate? You know, just your average Pilates-session-turned-P&L analysis. It’s a blessing and a curse—but hey, wouldn’t trade it for anything. Balance is messy, but we gotta do it. #CEOThoughts #BusinessMindset #LeadershipJourney #FemaleFounder #MindBodyConnection #PilatesLife #DailyDiscipline #MentalHealthMatters #BalanceInBusiness #WorkHardPlayHard #SuccessMindset #EntrepreneurshipJourney #LifeLessons #LinkedInCommunity #WomenInBusiness #AuthenticLeadership #FounderLife Club Pilates

What I've learned this week..... This post is totally inspired by Chanel Clark's reflection posts, and reading her weekly reflections has inspired me to do my own!! So what have I learned? 👉 Things happen quicker when you are having FUN. The key to life is literally to have fun and if you are forcing and trying to control, then this totally changes the energetics. Instead, by embracing feelings of fun and flow, I 100% guarantee you'll get where you want to go quicker! 👉 Just because someone does something a certain way, doesn't mean it works for everyone. The trick is to look for inspiration, but still do things the way that works best for YOU. 👉 Reformer pilates looks easy but it really isn't! I'm also quickly becoming a Pilates girly. What have you learned this week? I'd love to know! #brandingcoach #womeninbusiness #girlsinmarketing #femaleentrepreneur #socialmediacoach

In 2014 I organically started developing a movement methodology which grew off my Pilates teaching, chronic back pain, and my loves of music, club culture and Hip Hop. It was running alongside City is my Playground if anyone recalls those times 🙂 At the beginning of 2020 I decided to fully commit to Free Your Spine. When Covid hit I was online doing god knows how many movement sessions and tasters. When someone gives birth to a newborn no matter how challenging it may be, one doesn’t stop parenting that baby. I have wanted to discontinue with FYS so many times but every time I circle back to the movement pillars that helped me feel good in my back, body and mental health 1. Alignment 2. Empowerment 3. Flow 4. Play . I took that view of new born baby analogy, with FYS, and yes most definitely there have been many bouts of screaming, crying, exhaustion, but also the laughing, lessons, play, and witnessing of the growth has been truly humbling. It’s taken me to the ripe young age of 45 years to believe- like really believe not just paying lip service kind of belief- that one can truly move forward in this world with their passions and create impact on others wellbeing with what initially started as the movement medicine for yours. It’s taken a long time to combine the building of confidence coupled with the belief. When they say your outer reality reflects your inner world this absolutely true. Having conversations and closing deals to deliver FYS at events like SXSW and be on the books for Cannes International Festival of Creativity is absolutely mind blowing and it’s got a lot to do with that inner work hands down. Thankyou for those that have supported this journey thus far 🙂 #freeyourspine #purpose #leader
