Nikki Brooks Yoga, Pilates & Remedial Massage

Breathing practices are essential and I include them in all my classes and often in my remedial massage sessions.

Calming our central nervous system is of utmost importance to our overall wellbeing.

Box breathing can prevent large increases in heart rate and other stress markers in the body among people facing high-pressure situations, a recent study found.

Classes are recommencing from Monday 7 September - don't miss out....get booking for courses to save your place on the 6 week courses.

Booking a course encourages commitment. You know your space is paid. You are accountable to yourself to show up for your health. I sometimes chase up non-attendees, not to make you feel guilty but to keep you invested in building a habit that serves you well.

Classes are set dates - again, important to attend classes because if they are missed they are not replaced.

To book a spot in a class you have to go out out to attend. This helps you view it as an appointment that cannot be missed. Sometimes online classes are the virtual equivalent of the dust collecting VHS workouts of the 1980s/90s that never got used 🫣

Community classes are a point of social contact - this in itself possitively effects mental health.

Having said that, sometimes life is life-ing & a course is impossible. I also offer drop in sessions that become available for booking 48hrs before the class start time.

See you in September 🙌

Last call for Monday Pilates:
10am
6pm
St Andrews Church Hall

A minimum of 6 attendees are needed for the class to run. Booking will stay open until 9pm this evening - if numbers are still too low at that time the Pilates classes won't be on I'm afraid.

Motivation tip: Find an activity that you enjoy. This will be more likely to bring longevity.

Keep moving throughout the summer. Holidays may interrupt your schedule but still stay consistent with movement, even just simply mobilising each of your joints on a daily basis.

Maybe on waking you could:
- Hug the knees to chest and circle those knees mobilising the hips
- Pop feet back down on your bed, drop knees side to side for a twist
- Roll hips into a shoulder bridge as seen here to mobilise the spine
- Hug knees to chest and send feet to ceiling on your inhale and bend legs on exhale a few times to stretch the legs

Watch out for class schedules.
