getting the balance right

It has been great being back in the studio, seeing the team, our clients and welcoming several new clients to the studio.

The energy of the whole building and team has been really lifted and long may it last! We still have several clients, who have yet to return, school holidays, work schedules, finally taking some time away or haircuts have prevented them training, but the next couple of weeks look busy.​

Whilst we can offer 1-1 personal training, classes are still not allowed until the end of May. We are looking carefully as to how we can reintroduce our classes, but numbers will be restricted, and booking will be essential if they are to run. In the meantime, zoom classes continue and will do so for the foreseeable future.

In this newsletter, we talk of the perils of too many zoom meetings, how to re-establish balance in your life and a simple shoulder routine for you to practice at home. We also provide you with an update the progress of the INSPIRED cookery book, plus offer a delicious weekday supper for you to try!

As we slowly adjust to our new normal, it is important that we hold onto some of the ‘space’ that Lockdown provided us before we rush back into full steam ahead mode.

​Creating and maintaining a balanced lifestyle is becoming ever more important for our personal health and well-being. But, in our fast-paced, 24/7, 365 worlds, establishing that healthy work life balance, whilst sustaining and improving personal health and wellbeing, proves to be challenging, even for the most dedicated individuals.

Trying to find the symmetry between a fulfilling career and a meaningful personal life, without missing out on a social life can take its toll. In our fluid and ever connected world that task has become even greater. When once the boundaries between work and home were well defined, today, with technology that enables constant connection, those lines have become blurred, impacting both home and work life.
 
As we observe and experience our own realities, we become aware that life can at times swing from one extreme to the other. There are times when our world spins out of control and we lose our equilibrium, so, we compensate with weekends and holidays, assuring ourselves that this is a temporary blip and normal service will be resumed shortly.
