❓What's the best posture for me to sit in at work? 🧘🏻‍♀️⁠ ⁠ I get asked this one a lot in classes. The idea of an ideal posture has been doing the rounds for a long time. But the truth is, your body is not designed to stay still in sitting standing or any other position. Why do kids fidget so much? Because they haven't yet been conditioned out of what is a natural state of movement. #TheKidsAreAlright 👶🏽👧🏻👦🏼⁠ ⁠ My advice to patients and clients is always - sit in the way that feel comfortable. Make sure your workspace is set up in a way that is workable for you and the job you need to do. But MOST IMPORTANTLY... don't sit for too long. 🏃🏻⁠ ⁠ Take home? Your next posture is your best posture! 🏆⁠ ⁠ Photo by Marek Levak from Pexels⁠ ⁠ #pilates #pilateslife #pilatesmom #pilatesbusiness #pilatesmat #pilatesmatwork #physioledpilates #physiopilates #healthandfitness #balance #flexibility #strength #movement #wellbeing #health ⁠ #physio #physiotherapy #physiopilates #physicalactivity #healthpromotion⁠ #ActiveWork #FitForWork #Posture #WorkplaceWellbeing #WAHM #DeskWorkers ⁠ #YorkBusiness #YWMB #YorkProfessionals Fridays are @yorkpilatespeople days. Ready & waiting for this afternoons patients & clients! All set up for this mornings clinic @millfieldfitness What will today bring? Last week I helped patients with total hip replacement rehab, post-hysterectomy rehab, return to running after Achilles tendinopathy recovery, back pain, hip pain & shoulder pain! The life of a physio is nothing if not varied! N A P T I M E 😴 It’s not just for babies and toddlers! Matthew Walker, in his book “Why we sleep” says that a nap can help relieve the ‘sleep pressure’ that builds through the day. The time a duration of this is important though, as you don’t want to take away so much sleep pressure that your nighttime sleep is disturbed. 🥱 Between 2-3pm is prime dozy zone in my brain. I can power through by making sure I stay drink plenty of water or taking a brisk walk outside, but at certain points in my cycle, only a nap will really give my body what it needs. I tend to wait until around 2.40, and I’ll set my alarm in time for school pick up, so there’s no temptation to snooze on through. (Speaking 100% from experience here 😬) 20 minutes is ideal, then I’m up, down a glass of water, and out the door into the fresh air. 😃 Are you a napper? #wellbeing #sleep #sleephygeine #whywesleep #disconap #powernap #naptime #health #womenswellbeing #maternalhealth Houston... we have a problem! 💙 😂 #notsorry #aromatherapylove #organicskincare #bluebottle #nealsyardremedies #NYOR #wellbeing Just having myself a little joy snack after a super productive week. 💐 I love flowers in January, they brighten the dark days and remind me of springtime that is not far away. Also it’s a good antidote to food 🍩 & drink 🍷 based treats if you are trying to rein in the Christmas excesses! Do you buy yourself flowers? 💐💐 #January #joysnack #flowers #selfcare #wellbeing #basepilatesyork #thesmallthings The tree is gone and just lots of clean and simple tea lights around tonight. We’ll be welcoming in the new year in our own quiet way - but we’ve still put our glad rags on! 🌟 Personally, I’ll end the most transformative decade of my life feeling proud of all the ways I’ve flexed and changed directions and grown and overcome horrible lows and surfed some amazing highs. Not all of it was by design...! 🌟 Here’s wishing you and yours a fabulous end to the year and the decade! Enjoy tonight be gentle with yourself in@the morning! 🥂💫🌙 Merry Christmas everybody! Thanks to all my wonderful and inspiring clients that have supported me (and been patient) with all my business developments this year. I’ve got my eye on some new equipment for the new year ⭕️⭕️⭕️ #CrypticEmojiClue 😂 For now though, we are costing up, getting ready for santa and some much needed family time! Hope your day is merry and bright! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄🌟⛄️💫🥂 That thing where you hurry into town to get shit done, but the independents don’t open until 9.30... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Luckily the coffee shops are, so I’m going with that ☕️ Fuelling up for a busy morning before early school pick up at 12 🎅🏻🎄#york #theholidaysarecoming #yorkindependent #lastminuteshopping #workingmumlife
