We were so lucky to be part of the Wellness Festiv We were so lucky to be part of the Wellness Festival & Pilates World Record Attempt at Knockaloe yesterday - the very place where Joseph Pilates created it all 💙 This day was about far more than setting a world record. It was a celebration of the community - bringing people together through movement while celebrating the Island’s unique connection to the creator of Pilates, Joseph Pilates himself. More than 2800 people took part but unfortunately we didn’t manage to set the main record BUT we did secure another record of the highest number of people performing the “standing roll down exercise simultaneously ”. 👏🏼 so I’m officially a record holder 🙌🏼 big shout out to the organisers and everyone who took part ..

The old me would have kept going all day, pushing The old me would have kept going all day, pushing through every DIY project until I was completely drained … I kept living like this for years and ended up burning out, having health issues and major surgery last year.. I have completely changed my outlook and put myself first now .. house can wait and projects will still be there tomorrow … 

❤️ Rest and slowing down is part of the process.
