Doing what I do, I am extremely fortunate to meet some truly inspiring and exceptional people across all areas of wellbeing, as I love to constantly challenge myself and look at new ways to pamper my body and mind.

Personally I believe that it's always a good idea to try new things as opposed to getting stuck in the same old rut. My latest "new" experience was with Pilates. Being a yoga devotee, Pilates was just one of those things that I never got around to doing. I had heard of the fabulous results that people obtain with regular practice, so thought it was high time that I gave it a try. My opportunity arose with an invitation to try out the fab new PE Pilates studio in Potts Point with Pilates instructor Solveig Walkling.

I had seen the Pilates Reformer machines in gyms before and always wondered how to use them. Yes, they may seem a little daunting at first, but please trust me, with a good instructor they are a brilliant tool to exercise and stretch the body and have so much fun!

Throughout the class I loved the opportunity to challenge my body with something new. In the days that followed I seriously noticed the difference that the class had on the way my body felt: my limbs felt longer, my core stronger and I had an overall feeling that I had done a really good stretching session.

So if you're interested in strengthening your core, toning your tummy and improving flexibility I can't recommend Pilates enough. It's also a lovely way to connect with your body by heightening body awareness. There are Pilates studios all over the world, so find a reputable one in your local area and treat your body and mind to a stimulating pamper session.
