For all my diligent Pilates and Yogalates students, here is a link to a great You Tube video 7 minute abs. Introduced to me by my sister Kate this weekend, I was surprised how challenging and comprehensive it was. Tony (the trainer) recommends doing it 3-4 times per week. He gives great instruction and motivation throughout the 7 minute routine. Roll out your mat and give it a try NOW! Let me know what you think…. If this wets your appetite, join me for Yogalates or Pilates classes in Dublin Holistic Centre, Dublin 2. |

 Check out below what moves Women's Health magazine are recommending for your abs.
Women's Health are recommending Yogalates moves. They say;
"Devotees develop hard-core abs, thanks to Pilates, in addition to the supreme posture and balance benefits of yoga. Learn the basics and explore the benefits with this three-move ab routine for newbies."
We have been running Yogalates classes for the past three years and numbers of students are increasing with each new term. |

So here we are in January. Everyone feeling a bit fuller and rounder after Christmas Festivities and most people resolving to get fitter, healthier and leaner. January is a month where you e will finds most fitness classes booked out, full of enthusiastic people, all eager to try something new. With this in mind, how do you know what to look for. What makes a good yoga teacher? Last year saw the guide to the Ultimate Yoga teacher written. It identified 11 traits for the ultimate Yoga teacher to possess. |

New Year’s Resolution: To laugh like the laughing Buddha!I’m sure most of you have come across the funny little round Buddha with the big smiling face. This is the laughing Buddha. In folklore he is admired for his happiness, abundance, and wisdom of contentment. One belief popular in folklore maintains that rubbing his belly brings wealth, good luck, and prosperity. All too often life can become very serious so for the New Year, my only Resolution is to Laugh like the Laughing Buddha and to try to radiate a happy loving energy no matter what is happening. |

This might be of interest to all my wonderful mums to be. Here is the list of the top 100 names for 2011. Clodagh my daughter is now 8 months old and her name does not feature in the top 100. I knew she was a girl for 20 weeks before she was born and I still waited 24 hours before I named her. Don’t forget Pregnancy Pilates classes are Tuesdays at 17.30 and Pregnancy Yoga Classes are Thursdays at 18. |
