Hi!! Just a little reminder in case you need itđ€
The more you choose to focus on yourself, the more your mind and body feel valued and cared for.

I hope you're having a lovely day!âșïž
but, if youâre not really feeling your best, maybe tired, unmotivated, anxious, or irritated...
first, know that youâre not alone.
And second, you do not have to blame yourself for feeling this way.
Often, itâs simply your nervous system asking for some care.
Not only social media, but also things like busy workdays, poor sleep, or even seasonal changes can leave your nervous system overworked without you realizing it.
So here are a few ideas to help you reset and rechargeđ€
I hope they help!

âDoes Pilates help you lose weight?â
âHow is it different from yoga or strength training?â
Letâs start with the first one: Pilates isnât a cardio workout, so it wonât directly burn fat.
But, it helps build a body thatâs more likely to lose weight.
When I took my Stott Pilates certification, I learned that Pilates is a practice where we learn how to bring the body closer to its neutral alignment through spinal movement and core activation.
It takes time, but with consistency, youâll start to feel real changes - like better posture, more control, and a leaner look. So even if itâs not a fat-burning workout, many people still feel their body shape shift through Pilates.
That said, thereâs no âperfectâ workout.
Pilates, yoga, strength training, cardio - they all offer different benefits.
(Iâve added a simple comparison in the image!)
Personally, I see Pilates as a great foundation. It helps you move with control and awareness.
But I also encourage you to explore what works for your body and mindđ±
Thatâs why I got my RYT200 yoga certification, train regularly for strength, and study Barre cardio. I blend all of these into some of my classes, so you get a bit of everything.
Movement is about so much more than weight loss or body shape.
Itâs about feeling safe, connected, and strong in your body and your lifeđ€
I hope you welcome movement into your routine not just for how you look, but for how you feel.
Not for others, but for yourself.
Iâm still learning every day, and Iâll keep doing my best to turn that learning into classes with real valueđ
If youâve ever joined one, thank you so much from bottom of my heart!
Have a beautiful rest of your dayđŒ
