Oh sunshine 🌞 and warmth. How good did that fee

Oh sunshine 🌞 and warmth. How good did that feel today. I love the seasons and the changes in weather, but this lockdown is really making me itch for spring!

And all the people out enjoying the sunshine and their takeaway food and coffees. What a glorious sight to see.

What did you do today?

Argh! You’re desperate to go to the toilet and

Argh!

You’re desperate to go to the toilet and you’ve run to get there. You get through the door and discover this! There’s no spare toilet paper in the bathroom. What do you do?

Can you take a breath, feel the pressure lift away from your bladder, calmly go to get some more toilet paper or go to another toilet that does have paper?

Or does it become a bit of leaky situation? 😬

There are a couple of factors at play here.

1. There may be some mind over matter, where we need to take back control of our mind and tell it, actually, no we can wait long enough to get some toilet paper or go to a toilet with paper.
2. The pelvic floor might not be working in synergy with the rest of the body and in particular the diaphragm and the deep core, which all form part of an integrated system!

This definitely used to be me, but now I’m pleased to say I can take a deep breath, swear at the person who left me with no toilet paper and either go get some or find a toilet with some!

If this is you join me on one of my two Restore Your Core Courses (All women whether or not you’ve had children and regardless of their age) or Mums and Babies/younger children)) and learn how to reintegrate the pelvic floor into the breath, deep core and pelvic floor system, so you have a pelvic floor (and core) that are reflexive to the demands placed on them including the no toilet paper situation!

Who is the one to blame for leaving the empty toilet paper roll in your house?

It could be either of my kids or hubby (when he’s here) in mine!

I have quite a few new followers, so thought it was time to introduce myself again!

I've been a lifelong movement lover, trying many different things in my 39 years (almost 40) on this planet. Pilates was the most constant winner of my movement affections and even when I was a practicing lawyer I dreamt of having a Pilates studio.

Move on a few years and two children later, I finally decided that movement was going to be a second career, but my Pilates practice was not helping my compromised core and the bladder prolapse that had stopped bothering me between daughter 1 and daughter 2 was becoming much more symptomatic.

After much internet searching (and a few false starts), I discovered Restore Your Core®. Using Pilates, yoga and restorative exercise moves with a strong focus on embodying your body and understanding what your daily movement habits are and how they affect your body’s function. I signed up to “fix” me, but I soon realised that what I had learnt needed to be available to the many other women struggling with various types of core and/or pelvic floor dysfunction (lower back pain, separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), leaking pee (stress and urge incontinence) and pelvic organ prolapse.

I've since trained to be a yoga teacher with Heart & Bones Yoga, which has brought even more mindfulness to my movement practice as well as more self-love.

Towards the end of last year I realised that aside from the help I give to my clients with improving their whole body (and particularly core and pelvic floor function), I also get a lot of feedback about how they feel better in themselves and about themselves and how I've helped them to refocus on prioritising their wellbeing.

I don't get that Monday morning feeling anymore. I love my work. Nowadays I make a lot of decisions on whether my body feels expansive or whether it contracts. My work always gives me an expansive feeling!

I would love to hear something about you! What gives you an expansive (think happiness/joy) feeling in your body?

It’s a little bit icy 🥶 out there at the mome

It’s a little bit icy 🥶 out there at the moment. How do you feel about walking on icy streets and lanes?

I remember a time when I dreaded walking on ice and would do everything to avoid it. I just felt so unstable and off balance. And a little slip or a moment off balance could easily lead to leaking pee 😬, not to mention if I did actually slip and the injuries I’d no doubt be left with🤕!

I would have been less than 35 years old at the time. Not exactly the time in your life you’d think you would be worrying about balance or whether you might have an incontinence issue!

Walking this year has made me realise I don’t need to avoid the ice so much now! Mindfully moving your body during your exercise time, building awareness of your movement habits and gaining strength, stability and function through your whole body (and particularly your core and pelvic floor) can completely change your thoughts about walking on ice (or going for a run or jumping or anything else that might make you leak pee!).

You can join me for my next six week Restore Your Core Foundations Courses by signing up through the link in my bio.

Mums and Babies (or mums with younger children) on Tuesdays at 1pm starting 23 February
All women (whether you’ve had children or not) and whatever your age on Saturdays at 2pm starting 20 February - I don’t often run Saturday courses, so if you’ve been waiting for a Saturday then don’t miss out on this one!

Swipe to see some of the stunning roadside ice formations we’ve spotted in the past few days! Have you seen some?
