\u00a0<\/span>It’s that time of year when people have over eaten, drunk too much and not been as active as they usually are. Plus there are still a pile of treats hanging around tempting you. I know as there are choccies and cake in my house looking at me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Detox is one of those buzz words each New Year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“a\u00a0period\u00a0when you stop\u00a0taking unhealthy\u00a0or harmful foods\/drinks, or drugs\u00a0into your body\u00a0for a period\u00a0of time,\u00a0in order\u00a0to improve your health”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Which got me thinking as to how Pilates can be seen as a detox, cleansing the body of things we don’t want, improving health.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Pilates<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. It releases tight muscles. A tight muscle is going to cause a restriction in your movement patterns and may cause pain.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. It stretches you. Those muscles that are shortened will love you for it. One of the common ones being the hamstrings which are shortened if you sit down a lot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. It relaxes and calms you. No one goes out of our classes feeling more stressed or anxious than when they walked in.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So for me, Pilates is the ultimate detox. It leaves my mind and body feeling decluttered, destressed and detoxed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So in 2015, step away from the fad diets, the juices, those resolutions that won’t last. Embrace a healthy lifestyle, eating a balanced intake of food you enjoy and that is good for you. Keeping active in the best way for your body.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
