About
Hi, I'm Dawn
​
I love to exercise, the body and mind feel so much better after exercise. I feel exercise is essential to achieve a balanced life. It is finding that balance that is key.
​
We are all so busy in our lives and trying to fit exercise into our busy work/home/school schedule can be hard. That's why I find Pilates is such a good form of exercise as you can do 10 minutes a day or a 60 minute class, depending on the time you have available and your mood. Even after 10 minutes you can feel the benefits both physically and mentally.
​
I found the benefits of Pilates after having my second child, it soon helped me get back into shape. Pilates was also key in helping me recover from a running injury. It was after this that I noticed a change in my posture and even my running style. From then my love for Pilates has continued to grow.

I'm rubbish at quizzes. Luckily my husband is rather good at them so I always make sure I'm on his team.

I love to read. I have loads of books on my kindle, I think I buy more books than I get to read though.
-
I'm a great believer in Karma. I always find what you give out you get back.
