Life is like the waves of the sea, how to de-stress and relax in 5 minutes

I think the year of 2020 has had everything hasn’t it? Stress and fear galore, in either every capacity or at least in some way for each and every person on this planet. I’m not here to talk about the world situation, but just how hopefully this weeks blog can help you with your mental and emotional fitness as well as your body. 

 

Life is like the waves of the sea is one of my favourite expressions, there are both good, challenging and sad times of life, am glad to say that mindfulness Pilates can help so much in our daily lives and yes it really is worth doing your Pilates practice daily. But why? Everyone comes to Pilates because of their backs, hips or something physical, it’s much more rare I find in my experience of teaching for 22 years that people come to Pilates to simply de-stress, relax, feel better. Occasionally they do. But something I know does happen is that clients feel better in body and mind, not just the body, and this is truly an exciting thing

This year has brought with it all sorts of challenges, for me extra challenges have been things like my brother Rich dying in the summer, having my work life turned completely upside down, but luckily my determination and ability to switch my business to mostly online has helped me breathe a sigh of relief, but it’s not been easy for anyone at times, for differing reasons. Whatever they are, Pilates and relaxation, meditation always helps.

So here’s a little helping hand for you to enjoy this week, a 5 minute beach relaxation for you to enjoy at home. & 5 minute relaxation 

Hope this helps. Love Bev
