HELLO!☀️

The days are flying by, and Christmas is almost here! 🎄

My predictions for 2024 – These have all been bubbling up for a few years, but I think they will POP in 2024:

 

• • Rest, Breathwork, Meditation, and Mindfulness: The demand for these practices has been steadily increasing in recent years, driven by people seeking stress relief and better mental well-being. Given the ongoing focus on mental health and self-care, it’s quite plausible that these classes will continue to gain popularity in 2024, both in-person and online. 🧘‍♀️

• • Fitness Pilates Corrective Classes: As healthcare systems face challenges in managing post-operative care, there could be a growing need for fitness Pilates classes that offer corrective exercises. These classes could help individuals recover and rehabilitate more effectively, making them a valuable addition to the fitness landscape. 💪

• •  

• • Fitness Pilates for Kids: As awareness of the benefits of physical activity and flexibility for children grows, the idea of fitness Pilates for kids could gain traction. It’s important to ensure that such programs are age-appropriate and fun to engage young participants effectively. 🧒

• • Fitness Pilates for TOTAL Beginners: The potential for growth in this area is indeed substantial. Pilates is accessible to people of all fitness levels, and there are many who have not yet tried it. Targeting beginners can open up a new market and help more people experience the benefits of Pilates. 🤸‍♂️

• • Corporate Fitness Pilates: With the increasing emphasis on employee well-being and work-life balance, offering corporate fitness Pilates sessions during wellness weeks or as part of workplace wellness programs could be a valuable service. January, in particular, is a great time to focus on employee wellness as people often set health-related New Year’s resolutions. 🏢

Fitness Pilates Breathwork 5-minute Script 🧘‍♀️

Welcome to the final part of our Fitness Pilates class, where we’ll take a few moments to relax and center ourselves. Find a comfortable seated position, either on your mat or in a chair, with your spine straight and your hands resting gently on your lap.

Close your eyes gently, or keep them softly focused on a spot in front of you. Take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Let go of any tension or stress with each exhale. 😌

Now, let’s begin with some mindful breathing. Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four… three… two… one. Hold your breath at the top for a moment, and now exhale slowly through your mouth for four… three… two… one.

Continue this pattern of deep inhales and slow exhales, allowing your breath to guide you into a state of calm and relaxation. As you breathe, bring your attention to the sensations of your breath, the rise and fall of your chest, and the expansion of your belly.

With each breath, imagine letting go of any remaining tension in your body, allowing it to melt away. Feel a sense of tranquility wash over you with each exhale. 🌬️

Now, as you continue to breathe, I invite you to reflect on the gratitude you have for your body and the effort you put into today’s class. Think about the strength and flexibility you’ve cultivated, and the self-care you’ve shown yourself.

Take a moment to appreciate your body and all that it allows you to do. With each breath, fill yourself with a sense of gratitude and self-love. ❤️

As we near the end of our meditation, bring your awareness back to your breath. Inhale deeply one more time, and as you exhale, release any remaining tension and open your heart to the present moment.

In your own time, gently open your eyes and return to the room. Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you’re ready, slowly stand up, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Thank you for joining me in this moment of peace and self-care. Carry this sense of calm with you as you go about your day, and remember to return to your breath whenever you need a moment of relaxation. 🙏

Have a lovely day! ☺️ See you online, Rachel xxx
