Wow, into the 2nd month of the year already!
Most schools should be finishing up on Friday for a week but … just to let you know that all of our classes are still ON in the holidays so looking forward to seeing you if you can make it.
Here are a couple of hacks to keep you motivated to exercise and come to classes:
I read a recent fitness article in Dr Mercola’s website about the benefits of yoga on brain health saying that “yoga — which is suitable for most people, regardless of age or fitness level — has been shown to support healthy brain function and stave off neurological decline.
Through modern imaging technology, researchers have been able to objectively confirm that yoga impacts the brain in beneficial ways that translate into improved attention, mental processing speed, executive function and emotional regulation.
Regular yoga practice has also been shown to ...

You’ll know that if you were at our class last week in Waterside SC, then by the time the slimmers and the last of the leaders eventually left, it was 8.05/8/15pm! It was a joke (not very funny though). We did actually start our class while one of the slimmers was still being weighed (around 7.45pm when the class was supposed to finish at 7.30pm) and I’m sure that they weren’t very ...
Read more...You’ll see on the Classes page of my website that on Tuesday 14 Jan, our 7.30pm Fitness Pilates class is in Waterside Social Club, 26 Inglis Green Road.
Waterside Social Club is on the left side where the entrance to Sainsbury’s car park is.
If driving, park in Sainsbury’s car park for the hour.
It was the only venue at the time that was available and I’m sure it’ll be fine.
If you’re not sure exactly where it is though, there’s a website which shows the ...

For us, we can’t wait for the birth of our second grandchild at the end of Feb/beginning of March – woo hoo, not long now.
What’s on the horizon in the next week/month/first quarter of the year for you?
I also can’t wait to ...
Read more...I hope that you had a good week ‘off’ last week and I’m sure that you’re all organised now for ‘the big day’. I also hope that you’ve had some time to relax and put your feet up too.
Last week, we were away and 3 of us (inc our son) had an amazing week in Club La Santa resort, Lanzarote. We just absolutely love it there and at the end of the week, (as before), we just didn’t want ...

I’m looking forward to seeing you in our classes this week as above and you’ll notice (or know that) our December Tuesday 7.30pm and Thursday 7pm classes are candlelight classes (for the last 20 minutes of each class so please bring your tea lights and holders and something warm to keep cozy when relaxing and stretching on the floor).
I’m reminding that next week, again our Tuesday class on 10 Dec is another Fitness Pilates candlelight class and although no class on Thurs 12 Dec ...

Hi and welcome to another great week of Complementary Fitness classes.
Just to let you know that Bridge Road is OPEN again … yay! Good news.
Interesting quotes:
“Optimism does not mean being blind to the actual reality of a situation. It means maintaining a positive spirit to continue to seek a solution to any given problem. And it means recognizing that any given situation has many different aspects—positive as well as problematic”. (from @DalaiLama)
“Don’t be afraid of failure or slow progress” ...

From Fri, you can Take The Veg Pledge and ‘go veggie or vegan’ ...

Hi and welcome to another great week of Complementary Fitness classes.
Reminding you that Bridge Road, Colinton is closed for 3 weeks for gas repairs. For me, I’ll come up Craiglockhart to Colinton Road for Dreghorn Loan classes instead.
Diana (Wed class) gave me a newspaper fitness article where questions were asked on various fitness topics and answers given.
So in answer to ‘what’s enough exercise a week’? the answer was that new activity guidelines were issued by the UKs ...
