😰 Stress isn’t just a feeling — it has real physical effects on the body.

  • 3 days ago

When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol 🧪—a hormone that helps you respond to challenges. But too much stress over time can lead to increased blood pressure 💓, weakened immunity 🛡️, and can even make it harder for your muscles to recover after exercise 🏋️‍♀️. Chronic stress can also contribute to headaches 🤯, digestive issues 🤢 and trouble sleeping 😴.


The good news? 🌟 Regular movement—particularly Pilates and mindful exercises 🧘‍♀️—can help counteract these effects. Exercise helps lower cortisol while boosting endorphins 😊—your natural mood boosters.


Even just 10 minutes of stretching or deep breathing 🌬️ can help reset your nervous system.


How do you de-stress after a long day? I love going for a run 🏃‍♀️ or rolling out my mat for a quick session—especially if it’s late at night 🌙 or I’m short on time ⏱️.

Pilates & Chocolate – The Perfect Balance!

Easter is here, and let’s be honest… chocolate is definitely on the menu! 🍫😍 And guess what? You don’t have to choose between treating yourself and moving your body, Pilates is all about balance!


💡 So, here’s your Easter challenge: For every Easter egg unwrapped, do one Pilates move!

A Roll Down to reach for that chocolate? ✅

A Squat before you sit down with your treats? ✅

A Side Plank to earn that extra bite? ✅

The best part? It’s all about moving in a way that feels good, just like enjoying your favourite chocolate!


Whether you’re celebrating with family, hunting for eggs or simply enjoying a well-earned rest, take a moment to move, stretch and savour every bite (and every rep 😉).


🍫 I'm just going to do a roll down and reach for my first egg.
