Please choose from the following streams:<br />

<strong>CLINICAL PILATES: </strong>About 8 in 10 people have one or more bouts of low back pain. In most cases, it is not due to a serious disease or serious back problem, and the exact cause of the pain is not clear. This is called nonspecific lower back pain. The usual advice is to keep active, and do normal activities as much as possible. In most cases, the pain disappears within six weeks but may come back (recur) from time to time. Chronic (persistent) pain develops in some cases and further treatment may then be needed. Clinical Pilates is taught by an STOTT ISP (injury-specialist populations) teacher or an APPI physio trained teacher. This class is suitable for both post and ante - natal mums .This class is limited in numbers to ensure individual attention. Please bring a Yoga mat and bottle of water to class,booking essential.<br />

<strong>CORE PILATES/YOGA FLOW</strong><strong>:</strong> This class is based on the latest research in fascial trains incorporating James de Silva's Garuda work which takes the class to the next level.

<div class="SubheadingText" style="color: #51b66b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
East vs. West</div>
<br />In Vedic Sanskrit, the literal meaning of the word yoga is "to add", "to join", "to unite", or "to attach" from the root yuj, In the west and In the modern world we have become quite successful in our external achievements--we have created powerful technologies and a variety of products, we are obsessed with accumulating power, wealth, property and objects--and yet we have not been able to create either individual or social peace, wisdom, or happiness. We have only to look around and see the destructiveness of our weapons, the emptiness of our pleasures and entertainments, the misuse of our material and personal resources, the disparities between rich and poor, and above all, the loneliness and violence of our modern world. We see that amid all our success in the external world, we have accomplished little of lasting value.</div>
<br /><div>
So is Yoga really just about the asana, stretching and meditating? Last week I visited Dharavi slums, Mumbai with <a href="" shape="rect">www.realitytoursandtravel.com</a> there were no Yoga studios or Asana practice there. Dharavi is the largest slum in the world and is a thriving recycle and business portal. They recycle everything from plastic bottles to paint cans, have bakeries, make clothes, bags, shoes etc. It is home to 1 million people, it has 10 thousand industries and 8 thousand owners living on site. Its turnover is 665 US Million dollars per annum; an average house size is 10 square meters in which 5 people live. There are 500- 600 toilet blocks for 1 million people, 1140 people use each toilet per day, and the water is only available for 4 hours every morning in which they have to fill all containers.<br />
<br />
<img align="left" border="0" height="180" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.4" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/deleted_image.gif" vspace="5" width="254" />These people are proud, not one of them begged, their daily life and struggles is the "The Real Yoga of India". What we take for granted in the West is a mindful practice in the East. You just have to watch them play with their rice and Dahl before eating to savor every mouthful, appreciate and not waste a single drop of water. Our problems are simply first world problems and not in reality with third world problems. Food Banks, smoking, drinking and socializing are all privileges of the West, so we must not complain.<br />
<br />
<br /> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">But what can a Yoga practice do for us in the West? A stable meditative posture helps us create a serene breath and calm mind. A good meditative posture should be comfortable and stable, ensuring that the head, neck, and trunk are erect and in a straight line. If the body is uncomfortable, it makes the mind agitated and distracted. The second kinds of postures are practiced to perfect the body, making it limber and free from disease. These postures stimulate specific muscles and nerves and have very beneficial effects. In our daily lives, meditation can be very helpful in</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> eliminating many physical and psychological problems.</span><br />
A significant amount of the disease we experience is actually either directly or indirectly the result of conflicts, repression, or emotional distress arising in the conscious or unconscious mind. Meditation helps us to become aware of these conflicts and to resolve them, establishing tranquility and peace. In this way, meditation becomes a powerful resource for facing the challenges of daily life.<br />

Moving and Shaking in Goa</div>
<br />I was lucky enough to participate in Goa's Contact Dance festival. Seven days of moving in ways I've never moved before. Contact Improvisation is a dance form originally referred to as an "art-sport" in which the point of contact with another dancer provides the starting point for a movement exploration. It is about sharing weight, rolling, suspending, falling, passive and active, energy and awareness.<br />
<img border="0" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s2.postimg.org/acmnv46ah/IMG_0077.jpg" vspace="5" width="568" /><br /><br />
"Contact Improvisation is a dance form, originated by American choreographer Steve Paxton in 1972, based on the communication between two or more moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion-gravity, momentum, inertia. The body, in order to open to these sensations, must learn to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. Practice includes rolling, falling, being upside down. Following a physical point of contact, supporting and giving weight to a partner.<br />

<strong>CLINICAL PILATES: </strong>About 8 in 10 people have one or more bouts of low back pain. In most cases, it is not due to a serious disease or serious back problem, and the exact cause of the pain is not clear. This is called nonspecific lower back pain. The usual advice is to keep active, and do normal activities as much as possible. In most cases, the pain disappears within six weeks but may come back (recur) from time to time. Chronic (persistent) pain develops in some cases and further treatment may then be needed. Clinical Pilates is taught by an STOTT ISP (injury-specialist populations) teacher or an APPI physio trained teacher. This class is suitable for both post and ante - natal mums .This class is limited in numbers to ensure individual attention. Please bring a Yoga mat and bottle of water to class,booking essential.<br />

East vs. West</div>
<br />In Vedic Sanskrit, the literal meaning of the word yoga is "to add", "to join", "to unite", or "to attach" from the root yuj, In the west and In the modern world we have become quite successful in our external achievements--we have created powerful technologies and a variety of products, we are obsessed with accumulating power, wealth, property and objects--and yet we have not been able to create either individual or social peace, wisdom, or happiness. We have only to look around and see the destructiveness of our weapons, the emptiness of our pleasures and entertainments, the misuse of our material and personal resources, the disparities between rich and poor, and above all, the loneliness and violence of our modern world. We see that amid all our success in the external world, we have accomplished little of lasting value.</div>
<br /><div>
So is Yoga really just about the asana, stretching and meditating? Last week I visited Dharavi slums, Mumbai with <a href="" shape="rect">www.realitytoursandtravel.com</a> there were no Yoga studios or Asana practice there. Dharavi is the largest slum in the world and is a thriving recycle and business portal. They recycle everything from plastic bottles to paint cans, have bakeries, make clothes, bags, shoes etc. It is home to 1 million people, it has 10 thousand industries and 8 thousand owners living on site. Its turnover is 665 US Million dollars per annum; an average house size is 10 square meters in which 5 people live. There are 500- 600 toilet blocks for 1 million people, 1140 people use each toilet per day, and the water is only available for 4 hours every morning in which they have to fill all containers.<br />
<br />
<img align="left" border="0" height="180" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.4" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/deleted_image.gif" vspace="5" width="254" />These people are proud, not one of them begged, their daily life and struggles is the "The Real Yoga of India". What we take for granted in the West is a mindful practice in the East. You just have to watch them play with their rice and Dahl before eating to savor every mouthful, appreciate and not waste a single drop of water. Our problems are simply first world problems and not in reality with third world problems. Food Banks, smoking, drinking and socializing are all privileges of the West, so we must not complain.<br />
<br />
<br /> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">But what can a Yoga practice do for us in the West? A stable meditative posture helps us create a serene breath and calm mind. A good meditative posture should be comfortable and stable, ensuring that the head, neck, and trunk are erect and in a straight line. If the body is uncomfortable, it makes the mind agitated and distracted. The second kinds of postures are practiced to perfect the body, making it limber and free from disease. These postures stimulate specific muscles and nerves and have very beneficial effects. In our daily lives, meditation can be very helpful in</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> eliminating many physical and psychological problems.</span><br />
<img align="left" border="0" height="190" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.5" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/deleted_image.gif" vspace="5" width="254" />A significant amount of the disease we experience is actually either directly or indirectly the result of conflicts, repression, or emotional distress arising in the conscious or unconscious mind. Meditation helps us to become aware of these conflicts and to resolve them, establishing tranquility and peace. In this way, meditation becomes a powerful resource for facing the challenges of daily life.<br />

Moving and Shaking in Goa</div>
<br />I was lucky enough to participate in Goa's Contact Dance festival. Seven days of moving in ways I've never moved before. Contact Improvisation is a dance form originally referred to as an "art-sport" in which the point of contact with another dancer provides the starting point for a movement exploration. It is about sharing weight, rolling, suspending, falling, passive and active, energy and awareness.<br />
<img border="0" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s2.postimg.org/acmnv46ah/IMG_0077.jpg" vspace="5" width="568" /><br /><br />
"Contact Improvisation is a dance form, originated by American choreographer Steve Paxton in 1972, based on the communication between two or more moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion-gravity, momentum, inertia. The body, in order to open to these sensations, must learn to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. Practice includes rolling, falling, being upside down. Following a physical point of contact, supporting and giving weight to a partner.<br />

<i>Are you treating the Symptoms and not the Cause?</i><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
With 18 years experience of watching movement patterns and treating bodies, we really need to start addressing the body as a full kinetic chain. We are emotional, spiritual and mental beings. I long for the day when all medical practitioners and ourselves connect that niggling knee injury with the rest of the body.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div align="center" style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<img border="0" height="298" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://jillconyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Outside_WEB.jpg" vspace="5" width="298" /></div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Think of it like this, you are sat in an inflatable dingy that springs a leak, unless you do something quick the dingy will sink. Do you keep bowling out the water? Or do you plug the hole to stop the water coming in? Plugging the hole gets to the cause of the problem, where-as bailing out the water just deals with the effect (the injury) at first, we need to understand the cause as well so that we can ensure the injury does not reoccur or cause a different problem in the future through a faulty recruitment pattern or compensatory pattern.</span></div>
<div style="color: #1f6231; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="357" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://www.tohlejokes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Titanic.jpg" vspace="5" width="550" /></div>
<div align="center" style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">To give you more of an insight, I use 6 basic principals taught to me by Paul Chek , the founder of the Chek institute.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"> 1.T</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">HOUGHTS</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">: The mind-body expert Dr. Deepak Chopra has stated that we have between 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts per day and of those thoughts nearly 80% of them are negative. This is important to realize because almost every person is habitually invested in his or her thoughts. In others what we think is what we believe to be true about ourselves! Because thoughts are catabolic in nature, meaning they lead to breakdown of the body and use up a tremendous amount of resources (like working out), it's important that each of us finds a way to balance our thoughts with no-thought activities. Examples would be anything you enjoy that brings you closer to a state of no-mind like meditation, walks in nature, artwork, listening to inspirational music, sleep, etc. Remember that all choices are thoughts. So it's up to you as to what type of thoughts you want to invest in when it comes to food choices, amount of exercise, the people you hang out with and your life experiences.</span></div>
<div style="color: #1f6231; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
2. BREATHING: The average person breathes approximately 25,000 times per day. If you are stressed or you are a chest breather, the number of breaths increases up to 40,000 times per day. Some yogic and Chinese philosophies claim that each person is allotted a certain number of breaths per lifetime. Thus, a stressed person or person that has poor breathing mechanics essentially is taking years off their life. What I find interesting is that most people are focused on what they eat and how much they exercise, which is also important, but considering that if we don't have air we lose brain function after three minute and die after five minutes. So the body will do everything it can do keep itself alive using muscles and resources that aren't primarily designed for breathing which can lead to a host of health challenges. It has been shown that 70-75% of most visits to the GP are all related to incorrect breathing patterns. Another interesting fact is that improper breathing mechanics can lead to the deep spinal stabilizers to shut down! This may show up when you reach down to pick up your kids or groceries and your back goes out. Proper breathing mechanics is where 2/3 of the breath starts from the belly and the last 1/3 of the breath expands into the chest. Then let it out naturally. Just practicing proper breathing five minutes a day can go a long way to improving your health and keeping you out of the doctor's office.</div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
3. HYDRATION: Water makes up approximately 75% of your body and 85% of your brain tissue. Almost every chemical reaction and interaction in your body is dependent upon water. With just 1% of water loss your brain can show signs of malfunction, headache and fatigue according to "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj. For optimal body weight and performance, you must drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily and adjust that amount based on your level of physical and mental activity. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div align="left" style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
Many of the filtration systems take out the vital minerals found in natural water so add a pinch of organic sea salt to each litre bottle. Not so much to taste the salt, but enough to give it some body. Remember, dry mouth is one of your body's last cries for water so drink adequate amounts of high quality pure water each day.</div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4. </span><span style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">FOOD</span><span color="#000800" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">: <span style="font-size: 10pt;">We are as different on the inside as we are on the outside from person to person. Each of us has a unique cellular metabolism and makeup. Each person needs unique macronutrient proportions of fats, proteins, carbohydrates to facilitate optimal cellular and bodily functions. It is critical to remember that each meal, including fluids, should be balanced. Just as you wouldn't put diesel fuel into a gasoline engine and expect it to run optimally, you should not put the wrong fuels or mix in your body if you want it to run optimally and look your best. No matter what type of engine you have it's best to choose organic, unprocessed whole foods whenever possible. Otherwise, food can be a source of stress coming from the poisonous chemical pesticides the body has to work so hard to detoxify or store in your fat cells (yes, weight gain!) and malnutrition because conventional foods have been shown to be up to 40 times lower in vital nutrients that organically grown plant and animal foods.</span></span></div>

5. EXERCISE: My favorite philosophy when it comes to exercise is work hard, rest hard! Many people forget that the body gets stronger when you are resting and recovering, not while exercising. Therefore, if you don't allow adequate rest time between workouts, or if you simply work too much, you are never going to reap the benefits from your hard work in the gym. If the thought of working out makes you tired or you don't have the authentic desire to workout then it's best to do what my mentor Paul Chek calls "working-in" exercises like qigong, yoga, tai chi, sleep, slow walks ... something that you don't really have to think about and doesn't raise your heart rate or breathing rate and should feel like it's improving your digestion. The key point is to balance your working-in and working-out to meet your own movement needs, but no matter what you need I suggest getting 30 minutes of exercise daily to pump the body making it look great from the inside-out. </div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
6. SLEEP: Our bodies have natural built-in clocks intimately linked to the solar, lunar and celestial rhythms that direct our body's healing cycles. When you sleep, you release anabolic hormones to repair and regenerate. The body does its physical repair between the hours of 10pm and 2am and its mental/nervous system repair between the hours of 2am and 6am. Frequently going to bed after 10pm will reduce the body's healing time resulting in progressive fatigue, inability to recover from illness and injuries, and loss of balance and memory. I would have to say the most common complaint of clients, is that they are fatigued and want more energy. A great place to start is sleep. You may find that your best treatment approach to any current complaints could be as simple as going to bed by 10pm and sleep to 6am or longer if you need to catch up on lost sleep. </div>

<strong>CLINICAL PILATES: </strong>About 8 in 10 people have one or more bouts of low back pain. In most cases, it is not due to a serious disease or serious back problem, and the exact cause of the pain is not clear. This is called nonspecific lower back pain. The usual advice is to keep active, and do normal activities as much as possible. In most cases, the pain disappears within six weeks but may come back (recur) from time to time. Chronic (persistent) pain develops in some cases and further treatment may then be needed. Clinical Pilates is taught by an STOTT ISP (injury-specialist populations) teacher or an APPI physio trained teacher. This class is suitable for both post and ante - natal mums .This class is limited in numbers to ensure individual attention. Please bring a Yoga mat and bottle of water to class,booking essential.<br />

<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">A CHEK Practitioner bridges the gap between a Personal Trainer and Physiotherapist or Osteopath that looks at the entire human being as a holistic entity</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">If you imagine that a trainer is at one end of the spectrum prescribing health and exercise programs and a Physio is at the other end, rehabilitating chronic injuries and providing therapy, a CHEK Practitioner will bridge the gap between these two respected professions. Through an understanding of how our body systems integrate, on a physical, mental and emotional and chemical level, the CHEK practitioner addresses all of these where many do not and prescribe a health and exercise program based on these factors and the goals of the client.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #552864;">What is the CHEK approach?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">The approach I teach is based on the Corrective, Holistic, Exercise, Kinesiology system devised by Holistic Health Practitioner Paul Chek who originally trained as a Sports Massage Therapist, Neuromuscular Therapist (NMT) and trainer of the US Army Boxing Team.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">This system or approach is designed to address the person as a whole and analyzes the client's body from head to toe including diet, lifestyle and factors that can create more stress in the body. Stress has many faces and the accumulation of stress in the body may determine the amount of exercise, rest and or lifestyle changes the client needs to take in order to recover from pain or reach the goals they desire before they simply burn out!</span></div>

<div>
I'm so excited to be teaching two 30 minute sessions at the Yoga Show,Manchester.<strong> Join me on Friday 15th May from 4:45-5:15pm at the OM Yoga studio for - Spinal Revolution</strong></div>
<div>
"A Breakthrough In Back Science". The thoracic spine is built for rotation, flexion, and extension. It is highly mobile - or, rather, it has the potential for lots of mobility. Because of its mobility, the thoracic spine must be used, must be moved. But it has to be known.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
If people are unable to visualize and feel the movement of the thoracic spine, or if they're unable to even grasp the concept of its existence, they'll just attempt to twist, rotate, flex, and bend with something familiar to them: the lumbar spine. That's bad news. A movement system that gently works the entire body opening energy pathways through rhythmic, spiraling movements.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
Fluid movements that feel like dance are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, utilizing low stools and mats. All fitness levels, from novice to professional, can benefit from this system.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<strong>And...</strong></div>

<strong>Garuda Pilates on Friday 15th May 11.45-12.15pm and Sunday 17th May from 3:45-4:15pm at the Warrior open class</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
The benefits of Garuda include increased strength, flexibily, coordination and endurance with a greater sense of ease and wellbeing. Garuda draws deeply on mental focus and teaching relaxation through movement. Like yoga garuda also massages the internal organs and aids in detoxification.</div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;"><i>Your Posture and Your Pain</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #209cda; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<br /></div>
If we are in constant pain or are getting repetitive injuries, one of the key points we need to consider is posture. If our posture is out of sync, our organs won't sit right and our movement patterns wont execute correctly. I have a high number of clients who are either sat all day at a desk or doing intense sport e.g Cross - Fit, etc<br />
Cross fit, marathons and sitting for long periods of time are not incorrect but we need to ensure the body is ready to deal with these stresses. After all, exercise is a stress and the body cannot tell the difference between a divorce and exercise. Do you resonate with any of the postures below?<br />
<img border="0" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s4.postimg.org/e1p8lgjjh/Posture_2.png" vspace="5" width="568" /><span style="color: blue;">"Posture is the position from which movement begins and ends. Ideal posture is that state of muscular and skeletal balance which protects the supporting structures of the body against injury or progressive deformity, irrespective of the attitude in which these structures are working or resting. It is during a state of ideal posture that the musculoskeletal system will function most efficiently."</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Paul Chek</span><br />
I have chosen two postures to look at:<br />
<strong style="font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: underline;"><div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<strong style="font-size: 10pt;">Upper cross syndrome </strong></div>
</strong></div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">This figure shows the imbalance between the trunk flexes and trunk extensors. As the upper abdominal musculature becomes progressively stronger and shorter than their antagonist (opposite), the following postural faults can be seen.</span><br />
A :Short and tight upper abdominals<br />
B: Depressed sternum<br />
C: Forward head<br />
D: An increases thoracic Kyphosis, Often with its apex at T7 to T9.</div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="183" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s14.postimg.org/4jiqsfvgx/newsletter_april07b1.jpg" vspace="5" width="288" /> <em style="font-size: 10pt;"> </em></div>
<div>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Lower Cross Syndrome </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lower Cross Syndrome is characterised by shortening of the lumber erectors, Iliopsoas, rectus femoris and tensor fasciae latae with lengthening of the lower abdominal muscles, hamstrings and gluts. Most people with Lower Cross Syndrome also have Upper Cross Syndrome. This posture is frequently seen in exercisers who spend a lot of time in the gym exercising incorrectly, and using fixed axis machines. I am continually told by clients that they have short hamstrings, but is this really the case? Look below, in most cases the hamstrings will be overstretched into what feels and looks like 'short and tight' but they are actually 'long and taut' or 'long and weak'. Endless sit ups and crunches are not going to flatten the tummy at all with this posture, they will just increase the faulty firing patterns and work the over excited muscles.</span></div>
<div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<strong style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline;">Have we really progressed or have we regressed?</strong></div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;">
The tribal woman is able to balance pots and walk with lovely rhythmic gait pattern, look at her neck position,its a beautiful continuation of the thoracic.</div>
</div>
<img border="0" height="308" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s4.postimg.org/48n5cgnvx/Posture_3.png" vspace="5" width="275" /> <img border="0" height="308" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s4.postimg.org/cuzlojenh/Posture_4.png" vspace="5" width="275" /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Can</strong><strong> a correctible exercise programme can help?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">A corrective exercise programme will work on the body's imbalances with focus on the tonic and phasic muscle groups. The tonic muscles tend to be short and tight areas, the phasic muscles tend to be long and weak. Why not join me for a weekend of posture on bank holiday weekend at the Hacienda?</span><br />

<strong>Busy people ask yourself ?</strong></div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
Do you wake up groggy, tired and wishing you didn't have to go to work? Do you crave to lie in bed until 11 or 12am? Do you rush out of the door, coffee in one hand, muffin or slice of toast in the other, hair dripping wet because you 'haven't had time' to dry it and are you unable to stay awake on your commute?</div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Then, during your day at work, do you sit for 7-8 hours, staring at the computer screen or into space at meetings, needing a bunch of caffeine to stay awake, especially at during mid morning or around 3.30pm, wanting to be somewhere else, like a remote beach in the Pacific? Can you concentrate; are you anxious or stressed?</span></div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">And when you're too tired to go to the gym, do you come home, heat up a ready- meal and watch TV, before going to bed at midnight?</span></div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
Do you long for the weekend so that you can have a couple of days recovering from all this, but by Sunday afternoon all you can think about is Monday morning and five more days to go? Or are you the boss and long for less absenteeism and a more productive workforce? </div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">

This was the result of a recent study by researchers at Stockholm University and Karolinska Institutet which is being published in the</span></div>
<div style="color: #000800; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. T</em>he study showed that people who exercised during working hours still attained the same or higher production levels with fewer work hours. Experts explain that the increased productivity comes from the stamina which physical activity suffuses us with and also from less absenteeism owing to sickness. It is evident that physical activity strengthens our immune system.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
When we exercise, the levels of serotonin in the brain rise and endorphins are released that create natural energy in the body. This improves cardiovascular performance and our immune systems get a boost as well.</div>

<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">A CHEK Practitioner bridges the gap between a Personal Trainer and Physiotherapist or Osteopath that looks at the entire human being as a holistic entity</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">If you imagine that a trainer is at one end of the spectrum prescribing health and exercise programs and a Physio is at the other end, rehabilitating chronic injuries and providing therapy, a CHEK Practitioner will bridge the gap between these two respected professions. Through an understanding of how our body systems integrate, on a physical, mental and emotional and chemical level, the CHEK practitioner addresses all of these where many do not and prescribe a health and exercise program based on these factors and the goals of the client.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #552864;">What is the CHEK approach?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">The approach I teach is based on the Corrective, Holistic, Exercise, Kinesiology system devised by Holistic Health Practitioner Paul Chek who originally trained as a Sports Massage Therapist, Neuromuscular Therapist (NMT) and trainer of the US Army Boxing Team.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">This system or approach is designed to address the person as a whole and analyzes the client's body from head to toe including diet, lifestyle and factors that can create more stress in the body. Stress has many faces and the accumulation of stress in the body may determine the amount of exercise, rest and or lifestyle changes the client needs to take in order to recover from pain or reach the goals they desire before they simply burn out!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">The CHEK Institute is an elite educational and corrective exercise centre based in Vista, California. It is recognised as the world leader in functional and rehabilitative exercise conditioning amongst health and fitness professionals. Clients ranging from injured workers to professional athletes, see a CHEK practitioner and Exercise Coaches for individual evaluations and personal trainer programs.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">A CHEK Practitioner is taught how to recognize the signs and symptoms of disorders that may impede successful rehabilitation, and then to network with appropriate professionals to achieve the desired outcome. The practitioner is not expected to help everyone or claims to help everyone and so they will refer out to another health care practitioner when needed such as a Chiropractor, Osteopath, Physiotherapist, Doctor and people with specific skill set.</span></div>

If time is of the essence or your not a fan of going to the gym, why not book a home exercise programme. Combining Yoga/Pilates and my 18 years of experience, you will get a tailor made program and be fully assessed before and after biomechanically plus health and lifestyle habits.</div>

<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
A Breakthrough In Back Science". The thoracic spine is built for rotation, flexion, and extension. It is highly mobile - or, rather, it has the potential for lots of mobility. Because of its mobility, the thoracic spine must be used, must be moved. But it has to be known.</div>
<div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
If people are unable to visualize and feel the movement of the thoracic spine, or if they're unable to even grasp the concept of its existence, they'll just attempt to twist, rotate, flex, and bend with something familiar to them: the lumbar spine. That's bad news. A movement system that gently works the entire body opening energy pathways through rhythmic, spiraling movements.</div>

<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">
The summer solstice usually occurs on June 20/June 21/June 22 in the northern hemisphere and on December 21/December 22 in the southern hemisphere. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">
In Chinese astronomy, the phenomenon known as Xiazhi roughly corresponds to the summer solstice - it begins when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 90° and ends when its celestial longitude is 105°. Xiazhi usually begins around June 21, and ends around July 7, though the term sometimes refers in particular to the day when Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 90°. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
In the USA, Canada, and some other countries, the summer solstice is regarded as the start of summer. In other countries, including Ireland, the UK, China, and Japan, the summer solstice is regarded as midsummer. For example, in Ireland, summer begins on May 1 and ends on July 31. Similarly, traditional East Asian calendars refer to the summer solstice as the "extreme of summer" and not the start.</div>

<strong>THE PRE-CHRISTIAN SOLSTICE</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">
The solstice has been observed as a special moment of the annual cycle of the year since neolithic times. The concentration of the observance is not on the day as we reckon it (commencing at midnight or at dawn), but on the pre-Christian beginning of the day, which falls on the previous eve. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif;">
Today, Summer Solstice is still celebrated as a Wiccan sabbat (one of eight major seasonal festivals), called Litha. Every year, a celebration takes place at Stonehenge. This tradition dates back to pre-Christian fertility celebrations.</div>

Midsummer has been Christianized as the feast of Saint John the Baptist. In the 7th century, Saint Eligius warned the recently-Christianized inhabitants of Flanders against pagan solstitial celebrations:<br />"No Christian on the feast of Saint John or the solemnity of any other saint performs solestitia [summer solstice rites] or dancing or leaping or diabolical chants."<br />Despite the Saint's imprecations, modern Solstice celebrations contain a rich mix of Christian and Pagan elements.</div>

In Denmark the solstitial celebration is called Sankt Hans Aften ("St. John's Eve"). It was an official holiday until 1770 and, in accordance with the pre-Christian tradition of beginning the "day" at sunset, it takes place on the evening of June 23. On this evening, medieval wise men and women (the doctors of their day) would gather healing plants for use throughout the year (it was believed that plants picked on this night possessed special potency). The solstice has been celebrated in Denmark since the times of the Vikings by visiting healing water sources and making a large bonfire to ward away evil spirits. Speeches, picnics and songs are also traditional. In the 1920s a tradition of putting a witch made of straw and cloth on the bonfire emerged as a remembrance of the church's witchburnings from 1540 to 1693.<br />Midsummer's Eve is in Sweden and Finland considered the greatest festival of the year, comparable only with Walpurgis Night, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve. Before 1316, the summer solstice was called Ukon juhla, after an old Finnish god, Ukko. The biggest bonfire at a given celebration was called Ukko-kokko (the "bonfire of Ukko"). At present the midsummer holiday is known as Juhannus, or midsommar for the Swedish-speaking minority, and is the year's most notable occasion for drunkenness and revels. Will 'o wisps were believed to appear on this night and mark the location of hidden treasure. Because Midsummer is one of the times of the year when magic is believed to be the strongest, it is seen as a good night to perform rituals to look into the future. Today, young girls pick bouquets of seven or nine different flowers and put them under their pillow in the hope of dreaming about their future husband.<br />In Estonia and Latvia, Midsummer's Eve and St John's Day are two of the most important days in the calendar, marked by bonfires and parties. Traditional diversions include jumping over bonfires and flower-picking.<br />In Jersey, off the coast of Normandy, the custom known as Les cônes d'la Saint Jean was observed as late as the 1970s - horns or conch shells were blown. Ringing the bachîn (a large brass preserving pan) at midsummer to frighten away evil spirits survived as a custom on some farms until the 1940s and has been revived as a folk performance in the 21st century.<br />In parts of Norway, a solstice custom of arranging mock marriages, both between adults and between children, is still kept alive. The wedding was meant to symbolize the blossoming of new life. Such weddings are known to have taken place in the 1800s, but the custom is believed to be older.<br />In Great Britain, from the 13th century Midsummer was celebrated on Midsummer Eve with the lighting of bonfires, feasting and merrymaking. The tradition declined significantly during the Reformation, but persisted in rural areas up until the nineteenth century. Other Midsummer festivities had uneasy relations with the Reformed establishment. The Chester Midsummer Watch Parade, begun in 1498, was held at every summer solstice in years when the Chester Mystery Plays were not performed. Despite the cancellation of the plays in 1575, the parade continued; in 1599, however, the Lord Mayor ordered the parades banned and the costumes destroyed. The parade was permanently banned in 1675. The association of the solstice with dramatic performance was permanently cemented, however, by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.</div>

So rather than lieing on a Reformer bed for an hour, we have created a diverse multi plane sequence involving the three planes; sagittal, frontal and transverse. By using all the equipment clients will get a more balanced programme and also understand the essence of Joseph Pilates intentions. you will learn to understand your body better and enhance your motor skills.

<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">
The summer solstice usually occurs on June 20/June 21/June 22 in the northern hemisphere and on December 21/December 22 in the southern hemisphere. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">
In Chinese astronomy, the phenomenon known as Xiazhi roughly corresponds to the summer solstice - it begins when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 90° and ends when its celestial longitude is 105°. Xiazhi usually begins around June 21, and ends around July 7, though the term sometimes refers in particular to the day when Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 90°. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
In the USA, Canada, and some other countries, the summer solstice is regarded as the start of summer. In other countries, including Ireland, the UK, China, and Japan, the summer solstice is regarded as midsummer. For example, in Ireland, summer begins on May 1 and ends on July 31. Similarly, traditional East Asian calendars refer to the summer solstice as the "extreme of summer" and not the start.</div>

<strong>THE PRE-CHRISTIAN SOLSTICE</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">
The solstice has been observed as a special moment of the annual cycle of the year since neolithic times. The concentration of the observance is not on the day as we reckon it (commencing at midnight or at dawn), but on the pre-Christian beginning of the day, which falls on the previous eve. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif;">
Today, Summer Solstice is still celebrated as a Wiccan sabbat (one of eight major seasonal festivals), called Litha. Every year, a celebration takes place at Stonehenge. This tradition dates back to pre-Christian fertility celebrations.</div>

Midsummer has been Christianized as the feast of Saint John the Baptist. In the 7th century, Saint Eligius warned the recently-Christianized inhabitants of Flanders against pagan solstitial celebrations:<br />"No Christian on the feast of Saint John or the solemnity of any other saint performs solestitia [summer solstice rites] or dancing or leaping or diabolical chants."<br />Despite the Saint's imprecations, modern Solstice celebrations contain a rich mix of Christian and Pagan elements.</div>

In Denmark the solstitial celebration is called Sankt Hans Aften ("St. John's Eve"). It was an official holiday until 1770 and, in accordance with the pre-Christian tradition of beginning the "day" at sunset, it takes place on the evening of June 23. On this evening, medieval wise men and women (the doctors of their day) would gather healing plants for use throughout the year (it was believed that plants picked on this night possessed special potency). The solstice has been celebrated in Denmark since the times of the Vikings by visiting healing water sources and making a large bonfire to ward away evil spirits. Speeches, picnics and songs are also traditional. In the 1920s a tradition of putting a witch made of straw and cloth on the bonfire emerged as a remembrance of the church's witchburnings from 1540 to 1693.<br />Midsummer's Eve is in Sweden and Finland considered the greatest festival of the year, comparable only with Walpurgis Night, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve. Before 1316, the summer solstice was called Ukon juhla, after an old Finnish god, Ukko. The biggest bonfire at a given celebration was called Ukko-kokko (the "bonfire of Ukko"). At present the midsummer holiday is known as Juhannus, or midsommar for the Swedish-speaking minority, and is the year's most notable occasion for drunkenness and revels. Will 'o wisps were believed to appear on this night and mark the location of hidden treasure. Because Midsummer is one of the times of the year when magic is believed to be the strongest, it is seen as a good night to perform rituals to look into the future. Today, young girls pick bouquets of seven or nine different flowers and put them under their pillow in the hope of dreaming about their future husband.<br />In Estonia and Latvia, Midsummer's Eve and St John's Day are two of the most important days in the calendar, marked by bonfires and parties. Traditional diversions include jumping over bonfires and flower-picking.<br />In Jersey, off the coast of Normandy, the custom known as Les cônes d'la Saint Jean was observed as late as the 1970s - horns or conch shells were blown. Ringing the bachîn (a large brass preserving pan) at midsummer to frighten away evil spirits survived as a custom on some farms until the 1940s and has been revived as a folk performance in the 21st century.<br />In parts of Norway, a solstice custom of arranging mock marriages, both between adults and between children, is still kept alive. The wedding was meant to symbolize the blossoming of new life. Such weddings are known to have taken place in the 1800s, but the custom is believed to be older.<br />In Great Britain, from the 13th century Midsummer was celebrated on Midsummer Eve with the lighting of bonfires, feasting and merrymaking. The tradition declined significantly during the Reformation, but persisted in rural areas up until the nineteenth century. Other Midsummer festivities had uneasy relations with the Reformed establishment. The Chester Midsummer Watch Parade, begun in 1498, was held at every summer solstice in years when the Chester Mystery Plays were not performed. Despite the cancellation of the plays in 1575, the parade continued; in 1599, however, the Lord Mayor ordered the parades banned and the costumes destroyed. The parade was permanently banned in 1675. The association of the solstice with dramatic performance was permanently cemented, however, by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<div>
I'm so excited to be teaching two 30 minute sessions at the Yoga Show,Manchester.<strong> Join me on Friday 15th May from 4:45-5:15pm at the OM Yoga studio for - Spinal Revolution</strong></div>
<div>
"A Breakthrough In Back Science". The thoracic spine is built for rotation, flexion, and extension. It is highly mobile - or, rather, it has the potential for lots of mobility. Because of its mobility, the thoracic spine must be used, must be moved. But it has to be known.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
If people are unable to visualize and feel the movement of the thoracic spine, or if they're unable to even grasp the concept of its existence, they'll just attempt to twist, rotate, flex, and bend with something familiar to them: the lumbar spine. That's bad news. A movement system that gently works the entire body opening energy pathways through rhythmic, spiraling movements.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
Fluid movements that feel like dance are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, utilizing low stools and mats. All fitness levels, from novice to professional, can benefit from this system.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<strong>And...</strong></div>
<img border="0" height="268" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s21.postimg.org/ea379wr2v/5559571766_2e9b4ebac9.jpg" vspace="5" width="201" /> <br />

<strong>Garuda Pilates on Friday 15th May 11.45-12.15pm and Sunday 17th May from 3:45-4:15pm at the Warrior open class</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
The benefits of Garuda include increased strength, flexibily, coordination and endurance with a greater sense of ease and wellbeing. Garuda draws deeply on mental focus and teaching relaxation through movement. Like yoga garuda also massages the internal organs and aids in detoxification.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Garuda is a non stop flowing class that is challenging and mindful. You will leave feeling invigorated. It is suitable for anyone with some experience of yoga and or pilates. </span><a href="" shape="rect" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Watch a Garuda Class here.</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> Please bring a Yoga mat and bottle of water to class.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
In Chinese astronomy, the phenomenon known as Xiazhi roughly corresponds to the summer solstice - it begins when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 90° and ends when its celestial longitude is 105°. Xiazhi usually begins around June 21, and ends around July 7, though the term sometimes refers in particular to the day when Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 90°.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
In the USA, Canada, and some other countries, the summer solstice is regarded as the start of summer. In other countries, including Ireland, the UK, China, and Japan, the summer solstice is regarded as midsummer. For example, in Ireland, summer begins on May 1 and ends on July 31. Similarly, traditional East Asian calendars refer to the summer solstice as the "extreme of summer" and not the start.</div>

<strong>THE PRE-CHRISTIAN SOLSTICE</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
The solstice has been observed as a special moment of the annual cycle of the year since neolithic times. The concentration of the observance is not on the day as we reckon it (commencing at midnight or at dawn), but on the pre-Christian beginning of the day, which falls on the previous eve. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif;">
Today, Summer Solstice is still celebrated as a Wiccan sabbat (one of eight major seasonal festivals), called Litha. Every year, a celebration takes place at Stonehenge. This tradition dates back to pre-Christian fertility celebrations.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>CHRISTIANIZATION </strong></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Midsummer has been Christianized as the feast of Saint John the Baptist. In the 7th century, Saint Eligius warned the recently-Christianized inhabitants of Flanders against pagan solstitial celebrations:<br />"No Christian on the feast of Saint John or the solemnity of any other saint performs solestitia [summer solstice rites] or dancing or leaping or diabolical chants."<br />Despite the Saint's imprecations, modern Solstice celebrations contain a rich mix of Christian and Pagan elements.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>CULTURAL TRADITIONS</strong></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
In Denmark the solstitial celebration is called Sankt Hans Aften ("St. John's Eve"). It was an official holiday until 1770 and, in accordance with the pre-Christian tradition of beginning the "day" at sunset, it takes place on the evening of June 23. On this evening, medieval wise men and women (the doctors of their day) would gather healing plants for use throughout the year (it was believed that plants picked on this night possessed special potency). The solstice has been celebrated in Denmark since the times of the Vikings by visiting healing water sources and making a large bonfire to ward away evil spirits. Speeches, picnics and songs are also traditional. In the 1920s a tradition of putting a witch made of straw and cloth on the bonfire emerged as a remembrance of the church's witchburnings from 1540 to 1693.<br />Midsummer's Eve is in Sweden and Finland considered the greatest festival of the year, comparable only with Walpurgis Night, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve. Before 1316, the summer solstice was called Ukon juhla, after an old Finnish god, Ukko. The biggest bonfire at a given celebration was called Ukko-kokko (the "bonfire of Ukko"). At present the midsummer holiday is known as Juhannus, or midsommar for the Swedish-speaking minority, and is the year's most notable occasion for drunkenness and revels. Will 'o wisps were believed to appear on this night and mark the location of hidden treasure. Because Midsummer is one of the times of the year when magic is believed to be the strongest, it is seen as a good night to perform rituals to look into the future. Today, young girls pick bouquets of seven or nine different flowers and put them under their pillow in the hope of dreaming about their future husband.<br />In Estonia and Latvia, Midsummer's Eve and St John's Day are two of the most important days in the calendar, marked by bonfires and parties. Traditional diversions include jumping over bonfires and flower-picking.<br />In Jersey, off the coast of Normandy, the custom known as Les cônes d'la Saint Jean was observed as late as the 1970s - horns or conch shells were blown. Ringing the bachîn (a large brass preserving pan) at midsummer to frighten away evil spirits survived as a custom on some farms until the 1940s and has been revived as a folk performance in the 21st century.<br />In parts of Norway, a solstice custom of arranging mock marriages, both between adults and between children, is still kept alive. The wedding was meant to symbolize the blossoming of new life. Such weddings are known to have taken place in the 1800s, but the custom is believed to be older.<br />In Great Britain, from the 13th century Midsummer was celebrated on Midsummer Eve with the lighting of bonfires, feasting and merrymaking. The tradition declined significantly during the Reformation, but persisted in rural areas up until the nineteenth century. Other Midsummer festivities had uneasy relations with the Reformed establishment. The Chester Midsummer Watch Parade, begun in 1498, was held at every summer solstice in years when the Chester Mystery Plays were not performed. Despite the cancellation of the plays in 1575, the parade continued; in 1599, however, the Lord Mayor ordered the parades banned and the costumes destroyed. The parade was permanently banned in 1675. The association of the solstice with dramatic performance was permanently cemented, however, by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.</div>

<strong>CLINICAL PILATES: </strong>About 8 in 10 people have one or more bouts of low back pain. In most cases, it is not due to a serious disease or serious back problem, and the exact cause of the pain is not clear. This is called nonspecific lower back pain. The usual advice is to keep active, and do normal activities as much as possible. In most cases, the pain disappears within six weeks but may come back (recur) from time to time. Chronic (persistent) pain develops in some cases and further treatment may then be needed. Clinical Pilates is taught by an STOTT ISP (injury-specialist populations) teacher or an APPI physio trained teacher. This class is suitable for both post and ante - natal mums .This class is limited in numbers to ensure individual attention. Please bring a Yoga mat and bottle of water to class,booking essential.<br />

<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">If you imagine that a trainer is at one end of the spectrum prescribing health and exercise programs and a Physio is at the other end, rehabilitating chronic injuries and providing therapy, a CHEK Practitioner will bridge the gap between these two respected professions. Through an understanding of how our body systems integrate, on a physical, mental and emotional and chemical level, the CHEK practitioner addresses all of these where many do not and prescribe a health and exercise program based on these factors and the goals of the client.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">The approach I teach is based on the Corrective, Holistic, Exercise, Kinesiology system devised by Holistic Health Practitioner Paul Chek who originally trained as a Sports Massage Therapist, Neuromuscular Therapist (NMT) and trainer of the US Army Boxing Team.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times-New-Roman; font-size: 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial;">This system or approach is designed to address the person as a whole and analyzes the client's body from head to toe including diet, lifestyle and factors that can create more stress in the body. Stress has many faces and the accumulation of stress in the body may determine the amount of exercise, rest and or lifestyle changes the client needs to take in order to recover from pain or reach the goals they desire before they simply burn out!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">
The summer solstice usually occurs on June 20/June 21/June 22 in the northern hemisphere and on December 21/December 22 in the southern hemisphere. </div>

In Chinese astronomy, the phenomenon known as Xiazhi roughly corresponds to the summer solstice - it begins when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 90° and ends when its celestial longitude is 105°. Xiazhi usually begins around June 21, and ends around July 7, though the term sometimes refers in particular to the day when Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 90°. </div>

In the USA, Canada, and some other countries, the summer solstice is regarded as the start of summer. In other countries, including Ireland, the UK, China, and Japan, the summer solstice is regarded as midsummer. For example, in Ireland, summer begins on May 1 and ends on July 31. Similarly, traditional East Asian calendars refer to the summer solstice as the "extreme of summer" and not the start.</div>

<strong>THE PRE-CHRISTIAN SOLSTICE</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">
The solstice has been observed as a special moment of the annual cycle of the year since neolithic times. The concentration of the observance is not on the day as we reckon it (commencing at midnight or at dawn), but on the pre-Christian beginning of the day, which falls on the previous eve. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif;">
Today, Summer Solstice is still celebrated as a Wiccan sabbat (one of eight major seasonal festivals), called Litha. Every year, a celebration takes place at Stonehenge. This tradition dates back to pre-Christian fertility celebrations.</div>

Midsummer has been Christianized as the feast of Saint John the Baptist. In the 7th century, Saint Eligius warned the recently-Christianized inhabitants of Flanders against pagan solstitial celebrations:<br />"No Christian on the feast of Saint John or the solemnity of any other saint performs solestitia [summer solstice rites] or dancing or leaping or diabolical chants."<br />Despite the Saint's imprecations, modern Solstice celebrations contain a rich mix of Christian and Pagan elements.</div>

In Denmark the solstitial celebration is called Sankt Hans Aften ("St. John's Eve"). It was an official holiday until 1770 and, in accordance with the pre-Christian tradition of beginning the "day" at sunset, it takes place on the evening of June 23. On this evening, medieval wise men and women (the doctors of their day) would gather healing plants for use throughout the year (it was believed that plants picked on this night possessed special potency). The solstice has been celebrated in Denmark since the times of the Vikings by visiting healing water sources and making a large bonfire to ward away evil spirits. Speeches, picnics and songs are also traditional. In the 1920s a tradition of putting a witch made of straw and cloth on the bonfire emerged as a remembrance of the church's witchburnings from 1540 to 1693.<br />Midsummer's Eve is in Sweden and Finland considered the greatest festival of the year, comparable only with Walpurgis Night, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve. Before 1316, the summer solstice was called Ukon juhla, after an old Finnish god, Ukko. The biggest bonfire at a given celebration was called Ukko-kokko (the "bonfire of Ukko"). At present the midsummer holiday is known as Juhannus, or midsommar for the Swedish-speaking minority, and is the year's most notable occasion for drunkenness and revels. Will 'o wisps were believed to appear on this night and mark the location of hidden treasure. Because Midsummer is one of the times of the year when magic is believed to be the strongest, it is seen as a good night to perform rituals to look into the future. Today, young girls pick bouquets of seven or nine different flowers and put them under their pillow in the hope of dreaming about their future husband.<br />In Estonia and Latvia, Midsummer's Eve and St John's Day are two of the most important days in the calendar, marked by bonfires and parties. Traditional diversions include jumping over bonfires and flower-picking.<br />In Jersey, off the coast of Normandy, the custom known as Les cônes d'la Saint Jean was observed as late as the 1970s - horns or conch shells were blown. Ringing the bachîn (a large brass preserving pan) at midsummer to frighten away evil spirits survived as a custom on some farms until the 1940s and has been revived as a folk performance in the 21st century.<br />In parts of Norway, a solstice custom of arranging mock marriages, both between adults and between children, is still kept alive. The wedding was meant to symbolize the blossoming of new life. Such weddings are known to have taken place in the 1800s, but the custom is believed to be older.<br />In Great Britain, from the 13th century Midsummer was celebrated on Midsummer Eve with the lighting of bonfires, feasting and merrymaking. The tradition declined significantly during the Reformation, but persisted in rural areas up until the nineteenth century. Other Midsummer festivities had uneasy relations with the Reformed establishment. The Chester Midsummer Watch Parade, begun in 1498, was held at every summer solstice in years when the Chester Mystery Plays were not performed. Despite the cancellation of the plays in 1575, the parade continued; in 1599, however, the Lord Mayor ordered the parades banned and the costumes destroyed. The parade was permanently banned in 1675. The association of the solstice with dramatic performance was permanently cemented, however, by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.</div>

<b> Abs in or Abs Out</b></div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;">
A question that constantly arises in enquiries is <span style="color: blue;">"I want to flatten my abs, build core strength, get rid of this belly"</span>. Well first things first, flat abs starts in the kitchen i'm afraid. The quality of our tissues is determined by our breathing, sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement and stress levels. We are physical, emotional and spiritual beings, so all factors will effect us of course. So coming back to the topic or abs in or abs out, the video below is self explanatory. However if we do have an inflamed gut or permeable stomach lining this could be due to food intolerance. We may have fungus and parasites which 90 % of have without knowing. No wonder we never heal from injury, or are constantly suffering from lower back pain, IBS, joint problems or other digestive complaints. </div>

What can we do it about this and do we need to continue to suffer and be in pain? Have a pooched belly? Well NO is the answer if you are prepared to take responsibility for yourself.

We are all busy bees , rushing round from A to B and harnessing the monkey mind. Everyone you meet is busy, busy, busy and as a result of moving faster and faster, we go forwards and forwards with our posture. We are all on are cell phones, iPads etc etc </span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20.82666778564453px;">Major Betrand DeJarnette, a famous chiropractor developed the concept of RC factor . R stands for resistance, and C stands for contraction . Dejarnette showed, rightly, that whatever co contraction occurs (concentric) on one side of a joint, there must be equal and relatively opposing resistance in the antagonists for stabilisation of that, or any joint to occur.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20.82666778564453px;"><img border="0" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s14.postimg.org/c7sasrze9/Forward_Head.jpg" vspace="5" width="568" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', 'Arial MT Condensed Light', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20.82666778564453px;"><span style="line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">So our posture depicts the functionality of whats called the RC factor. As an instructor i don't want to over expose clients to exercises that don't require the body to generate balanced RC responses. Examples of such exercises would be crunches, because of the nature of the environment, such exercise require contraction, yet, due to externally applied stability from the floor, the need for resistance is reduced in proportion to the external stability provided. Such exercises have very little carry over into a functional environment. So in a nutshell the result is instability of any working joint or kinetic chain and ineffective transmission of both muscular forces and kinetic energy. Look at the pictures above, the eyes will always find the horizon, but look how the neck compensates. The RC factor will also probably increase dental work and orthodontics due to incorrect jaw neck relation plus poor eye sight that may be an effect due to constant strain.</span></span></div>

Pilates and the use of the Reformer will be of significant use for many individuals within our playing squad to ensure they are available for selection and able to compete in an optional state come game day!"</span>Adam Grainger<div>

Instability through the pelvis is a common cause of lower back pain. The cause is often postural; an anterior pelvic tilt (in plain English, a tendency to stick the bum out), which is often caused by tight hip flexors. This in turn shortens the lower back muscles and brings the hamstrings into a stretched position, leaving both vulnerable to injuries. Pilates is excellent for releasing the hip flexors, which will help bring the hips in to a more neutral position, and reduce strain through the back and hamstrings.</span></div>

The Reformer is piece of exercise equipment specifically designed for Pilates and is a fundamental element of many Pilates programmes. It is designed to challenge the body in a variety of different ways, but in all of them, control is paramount. Reformer Pilates gives more feedback to the athlete than traditional weights, machine-based or mat workouts. This feedback helps build awareness of where the limbs are in relation to the rest of the body, and how to correct their position whilst moving. Pilates will also build awareness of which muscles are working and how to activate the 'correct' muscles to provide movement and stability.These motor patterns are fine-tuned through repetition over time, and are directly transferable to the gym, pitch, court course or track.</div>

The body cannot generate powerful movements from a position of instability. Increased core stability is one of the key benefits of all Pilates programmes, enabling athletes to channel and maximise their power more effectively.The extra stability through the hips and core that Pilates develops can allow athletes to generate power from more unorthodox positions. A lot of exercises in Pilates are unilateral, generating strength and control in unstable positions even through an athlete's 'weak' side.</div>

Are you committed to get results? Can you take five lessons in the next four weeks ? If so i have the following places left on our Clinical Reformer equipment sessions starting this week.<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I started to do Pilates one month ago at the Pilates reformer studio in St Helens. I have been having one to one sessions once a week with Nisha Srivastava. I started to do the reformer Pilates as I heard good things about it and the many health benefits of doing the reformer Pilates. I've struggled the last year with a couple of injuries through sports and I was looking at trying the reformer Pilates as its an all over body workout without you isolating certain muscles. Basically by doing the reformer Pilates you get a all over body workout and depending how good you get you also get a bit of a cardio workout at the same time. Since I started doing the reformer Pilates one month ago I have noticed a few things , first of all my posture is better than it has ever been and I feel that I have grown as I am always standing straight and tall also I don't slouch anymore when standing or sitting I've found that without me thinking am always correcting myself to a better posture. I also feel that I have got more energy to deal with my busy schedule. I absolutely love doing the reformer Pilates and can feel the difference after only 5 sessions. Am looking forward to see how am feeling by 20 sessions because it's unbelievable how good it makes you feel as you can notice the benefits so soon after starting. Nisha is very highly trained and is top of her game. I would highly recommend Nisha to any one looking on improving there over all well being and physical benefits as the reformer Pilates can help you in so many ways.<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"> Richard Williams Client testimonial</span></span></div>

<strong>What is Clinical Pilates Mat ? </strong></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">
<br /><div>
<img align="left" border="0" height="240" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s21.postimg.org/9ecpnzmjb/images_41.jpg" vspace="5" width="159" />Doing Pilates mat on a half foam roller is great way to work on your core stability and strength. The half roller provides height and can assist with relaxing over exited muscles as well as assisting and firing up inhibited areas by providing an unstable surface. About 8 in 10 people have one or more bouts of low back pain. In most cases, it is not due to a serious disease or serious back problem, and the exact cause of the pain is not clear. This is called nonspecific lower back pain. </div>
<div>
<img align="right" border="0" height="217" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://s22.postimg.org/r21n48j01/images_43.jpg" vspace="5" width="320" /></div>
<div>
The usual advice is to keep active, and do normal activities as much as possible. In most cases, the pain disappears within six weeks but may come back (recur) from time to time. Chronic (persistent) pain develops in some cases and further treatment may then be needed.

Garuda combines the strength work of pilates, the breathwork and asana practices of yoga and the grace of dance. The benefits of Garuda include increased strength, flexibility, coordination and endurance with a greater sense of ease and wellbeing. </div>

For e.g the thigh muscles are the largest group of muscles in the body, they tend to do a lot of work without any conscious effort involved.From when we are babies with our legs in the air, to the time we crawl, to the time we walk, run or jump, the thigh muscles are continuously engaged as in the rest of the <div>

<div>
When the muscles of the upper thigh are dominate they tend to tilt the pelvis into anterior forward position. This in turn, tends to create a small arch in the lower back lengthening the lower abdominals and causing the hip flexors to become over excited and also stretch and accentuate the arch in the small of the back. Although the mid and upper abdominal may appear flat, they may not be working hard enough to counter the strength in the hip flexors that pull the spine forwards. The imbalance can cause considerable back pain." <a alt="http://www.yogaanatomy.co.uk/the-pelvic-driver/" href="http://www.yogaanatomy.co.uk/the-pelvic-driver/" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="color: blue;" target="_blank" track="on">Read the full article here</a></div>

The half roller provides height and can assist with relaxing over exited muscles as well as assisting and firing up inhibited areas by providing an unstable surface. About 8 in 10 people have one or more bouts of low back pain. In most cases, it is not due to a serious disease or serious back problem, and the exact cause of the pain is not clear. This is called nonspecific lower back pain. </div>

plain sailing.</div>

She said: <span style="color: blue;">"If
you're not confident when you first go in there and you don't know your
stuff then there's always a chance they might not get on and do it. You
have to be quite strict to start with - if you go in all soppy they
won't take you seriously at all.</span></div>

do get a bit of sniggering and messing about at times but you have to
be willing to have a bit of banter with them - they've got to enjoy it

"The
key thing is to let them know why it's important that they do it and
what benefits they can get out of it. My aim is always to focus their
minds and ensure they enjoy a quick recovery from a game or training
session - not to kill them off.</div>

"Typically,
it's the older players who get the most out of my sessions. It can help
prolong their careers. But I've seen real improvements and a change of
attitude from all the players.</div>

Well
we've had an exciting Movember month around the globe from celebrities
to sports stars getting into the groove of growing their tache.But what
actually is Movember and what does it mean <span _mce_style="color: #0000ff;" style="color: blue;">"Movember
is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men's
faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital
funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostrate cancer and
testicular cancer."</span></div>

In
today's society we are all quick to judge and pass the book of
responsibility to someone else. We require a
Doctor/Physio/Chiropractor/Osteopath etc etc When perhaps looking into
ourselves would help tremendously, if we could address our habits and
lifestyles cold turkey.</div>

The
west is so fast we have no time for anything or anyone, but we need to
make time. A few facts about how we can improve our health and the fight
against cancer in general. Fat content has actually gone down,
everything is low fat, but then why have we got bigger and more obese?
It's actually the sugar. Buying low fat is the worst thing you can do as
the product will be packed with sugars and artificial sweeteners. Over
the last 20 years, as intakes of sugar go up, obesity rates have
skyrocketed, leading many researchers to implicate access sugar in the
current obesity epidemic.</div>
<div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /> <img _mce_src="https://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs162/1102288672513/img/224.jpg" alt="Famous tache;s" border="0" height="300" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.224" src="https://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs162/1102288672513/img/224.jpg" vspace="5" width="620" /></div>

Yes
the negative effects of sugar even begin before they are turned to fat.
Sugar is the prime energy source for most cancers including prostrate
cancer. Most normal cells can adapt to an environment low in sugar and
use other energy sources- a process developed in evolution when people
would go through periods of starvation. However cancer, which grows
faster than normal cells, does not have the ability to adapt to low
sugar environments. Thus the more excess sugar consumed, the more the
tumour is stimulated. Indeed, several animal studies have shown that
cutting down in simple sugars actually slows the cancer growth.</div>
<div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<img _mce_src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://i.imgur.com/MQmG4.jpg?1" border="0" height="378" hspace="5" src="https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/tip/dispatcher?origImg=http://i.imgur.com/MQmG4.jpg?1" vspace="5" width="480" /></div>
<div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Excess
sugar intake is further linked to prostrate cancer growth through its
interactions with insulin. Upon consumption of sugar, the body produces
insulin, which helps to break down the sugar, ensuring that the sugar is
stored as needed. When too much sugar is consumed and the body produces
high levels of insulin to help process it, the cells can become immune
to the effects of insulin resulting in too high levels of sugar in the
blood- a common sign of metabolic syndrome and a strong risk factor for
diabetes. As I write this article here today, i'm gobsmacked at the lack
of information given out to cancer patients about sugar, if you need to
have it in your diet buy Stevia.</div>
<div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So key point to remember</div>
<ol>
<li>Oxidation and inflammation play important roles in the development of prostrate cancer</li>
<li>Anti
inflammatory and anti oxidant substances found in chemical fruits and
vegetables can counteract the damage caused by oxidation and
inflammation.</li>
<li>Carcinogens from charred meat can trigger chronic inflammation in prostate cancer</li>
<li>Sugar
is the primary energy source for cancer and stimulates production of
insulin, which is linked to an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease
and prostate cancer.</li>
</ol>
5. <span>Cutting back on sugar
and maintaining a healthy diet, and engaging in regular exercise regimen
can help slow the growth of cancer.</span> <a _mce_href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000381.htm" _mce_shape="rect" _mce_style="color: black; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000381.htm" shape="rect" style="color: black ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="_blank"> To read more about Sugar and Prostrate Cancer click here</a>North West Pilates & Yoga Centre Ltdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02638473909241216544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239447148787635672.post-31757640506324477852012-11-29T09:49:00.000-08:002012-11-29T09:49:01.032-08:00The Truth about Rugby PlayersA Nisha market - to read the full article, <a _mce_href="http://www.wigantoday.net/news/a-nisha-market-1-5172685" _mce_shape="rect" _mce_style="color: black; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.wigantoday.net/news/a-nisha-market-1-5172685" shape="rect" style="color: black ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="_blank">click here</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
England Rugby League Squad used Yoga as a form of post-match recovery
after their Welsh victory on Saturday. I taught them on the training
camp at Loughborough University Campus. We divided the squad into three
small groups and rotated them with swimming and weights with strength
and conditioner coach Mark Bitcom.</span></span></div>

Africa. The boys were very respectful and the integrity towards Yoga was

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Due
to the nature of rugby, there is a lot of Fascial tissue in the upper
quadrant area. This makes some of the postures difficult, but we are not
trying to achieve text book postures. It is most definitely about the
journey and the preparation of Pranayama with focus to the end result

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>It
sounds ideal for short men like Simon Cowell and Jamie Cullum who may
want to be taller than the ladies in their lives, while petite women
such as Kylie Minogue and Lea Michele could ditch their sky-high heels

<span>Fitness
chain Gymbox say they can have developed a workout that guarantees to
make you taller. They are so confident of their claim, they even offer
money back to anyone who tries it and doesn't grow at least 2cm. </span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span>Fitness trainer Pierre Pozzuto developed the gym class </span><span>which
involves a mix of pilates, yoga, strengthening and speed work - plus a
session on a scary-looking 15th century-inspired rack.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span><span style="color: blue;">'When I told a few people, they begged me to help them grow too and that's the aim with the A-Grow-Bics class.'</span> <img alt="Drawn out: Pierre, pictured left, said the device works by gently stretching the body once the muscles have been warmed up Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2221332/A-grow-bics-promises-add-inches-height--tall-story.html#ixzz2AVGjY2gZ Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook" border="0" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.219" src="https://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs162/1102288672513/img/219.jpg" vspace="5" width="618" /> </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span>Pierre said his class works by inducing the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) through repeated sprint exercises.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span>He said repeat sprinting also</span><span style="color: blue;"> 'causes micro fractures in the bones that repair in a week encouraging them to strengthen, remould and grow.' </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">The rack, yoga positions and i</span><span><span style="color: blue;">nversion
exercises, such as hanging upside down from the feet, are also said to
increase height 'by inducing spinal decompression which stimulates
growth by increasing the fluid capacity in the spinal disks'</span>, according to Pierre.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

No pain, no gain? The 15th century-inspired rack used during the gym sessions looks like a torture device</div>
<div>
</div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span>But Dr James Noake, an expert in sport and exercise medicine, told Style magazine he </span><span>was s</span><span>keptical about Pierre's claims.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span><span style="color: blue;">'The
discs between our vertebrae are made of tough material, with little
capacity for expansion, and the rigid join structures either side of
them will be resistant to lengthening</span>,' he said. </span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span>He added that the rack was<span style="color: blue;"> 'highly unlikely'</span> to permanently help someone become taller while encouraging micro fractures was <span style="color: blue;">'a little alarming'</span> and <span style="color: blue;">'unlikely'</span> to be caused by speed work in those with healthy bones.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span>But Gymbox insist they can add inches to anyone who follows Pierre's method.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span>Managing director Richard Hilton said: <span style="color: blue;">'People
join our gyms for all sorts of reasons, but one of the more unusual
requests our trainers often receive is for exercises to aid growth.
While we know this is a tall order, Pierre's techniques are head and
shoulders above the rest and really do work.</span> </span></div>
<div style="color: blue; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span>'We
are so confident in this class that we guarantee all participants will
grow by at least two centimetres - if not, we'll happily give them
their money back.' </span></div>

These are all signs of yo-yo behavior, the very thing that we are trying to get rid of.</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span>In order to overcome it, we must understand it<span> </span>and
we must recognise it in ourselves as well. I bet if you dig deep, you
will find an area of your family life or business where you jump from
one thing to another but never really get anything done. In these
situations, we are very easily influenced by what others say and do, we
can be motivated to have what they have, demotivated that we have it and
we don't, inspired, sceptical, there is a roller coaster of emotion
attached to the things that we are not fully committed to or confident
with.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span>At this time we really should not overlook our key strengths. Those things that are so natural to us, we take them for granted.</span></div>

<span><strong>The Leade</strong>r</span><span> </span><span>-
A leader leads by example and influences others. However, leadership is
also a two-way sword. A leader can influence others to follow/ obey
him. On the other hand, it's easy to get intimidated by a leader's aura
and maintain some distance. Therefore, being a leader can have varying
influence on various people.</span></div>

<span> </span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<strong>The Winner</strong><span> </span><span>-
Winners are the been-there-done-that individuals and businesses.
They've established a name for themselves by sheer virtue of their
achievements. In most cases, they'll have a positive influence on others
influencing them to achieve more.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span> </span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<strong>The Innovator</strong><span> </span><span>-
An innovator influences others by the virtue of his out of the box
thinking. He's a person who doesn't follow run-of-the-mill stuff and
somebody whom you can associate with producing the next big game changer
in any field.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span> </span><strong>The Believer</strong> -
A believer stands firm by what he believes is correct. He's a person
who can make others believe in him by the sheer virtue of his strong
thinking. However, a believer must match his beliefs with action.</div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<strong>The Follower</strong><span> </span><span>-
A follower is someone who looks up to others for guidance. He's more
likely to be influenced by others. A follower can in turn influence
others by his words or actions.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<strong>The Caregiver</strong><span> </span><span>-
A quick look at human history testifies that most people are likely to
be influenced by those who care for them. Whether its individuals or a
business which cares about its customers, those who take good care of
others are likely to be influential.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<strong>The Visionary</strong><span> </span><span>-
A visionary is one who thinks beyond the obvious and acts beyond the
conventional. He has no fear and influences others with his far-sighted
vision.</span></div>
