The Restore Method: Pilates Studio

I have been having the most amazing time in London; visiting University friends, and their families.

With five days down, countless glasses of wine and espresso martinis consumed; a diet predominantly composed of chips, and so many hugs doled out- I am nearing the end of this portion of my trip.

Throughout, I’ve been amazed, and beyond appreciative, of the resilience of my body and the understanding of my friends. As, I go from house to house, from restaurant to cafe, primarily running on fumes.

I’ve generally been unable to eat until late in the evening and I’m definitely a handful of pounds down from when I arrived. But the lack of judgement when I fail to order, the complete willingness to accommodate and the understanding on the occasions when I’ve collapsed has been beyond amazing; and, has given me a new perspective, I’m so thankful for.

Pretending to be a human marionette, today - on Halloween 🎃 - and everyday BUT whether you’re trussed up like a human puppet yourself, or not; remember (wherever you are! whatever you’re wearing! whoever you’re with) to bust a move today!

Light ramble; but, last night I came across this quote by Marty Rubin, who said “using your body to free your mind is a blessing bestowed by movement by action.”

With Halloween today, I was struck by the parallel between using movement as a method of freedom or escape, and our use of costumes to accomplish the same goal. Free your body 💪🦵free your mind 🧠
