One thing I like about running my own classes is the way I can watch friendships being formed. So in my post natal classes the mums all become great at supporting each other, passing on tips and helping out with other babies. Books get swapped, recipes suggested, cups of tea are drunk (and yes we do also do pilates!). <\/p>\n
In other groups that have been going a while there is always that hum of friendly chatter and banter through the class (the banter being at me or from me). Tips get shared, lifts are given to save petrol and too many cars, phone numbers exchanged and now food is shared as I was given a large bag of apples \ud83d\ude42 Always a great way to make me smile as I’m a bit of a foodie and love fresh produce. <\/p>\n
Tonight’s class had me in a fit of the giggles, I do feel exercise should be fun so it’s great when others agree and we take a moment to laugh at ourselves \ud83d\ude42 Laughter can be a great release and stress buster.<\/p>\n
So if you need some stress release in a friendly not too serious environment….come along, we’d love to see you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
