   I'm often asked 'what's the difference between Pilates and Yoga?' 

Or 'which would I recommend?' Or told - my doctor told me to do Pilates...


I'm also told 'I'm not flexible enough to do yoga' or 'I find yoga more relaxing than Pilates'... 

and in Pilates - 'I want to work my core' (when they have shoulder or lower back pain they didn't mention at the beginning of class...)


This workshop explored both disciplines - the similarities and the differences and the benefits of each and both combined for differing needs at different times in our lives. I am now running this as a weekly zoom session as part of my monthly membership

Why struggle with back pain? Non- specific lower back pain affects many people and has many causes. Ofen the medical profession just suggest 'rest' or painkillers.  This rarely result in long term improvements, only short term relief.

Trigger Point Pilates can help with nerve and chronic pain. Developed by a practising  myofascial therapist, following years of research, this is getting real results for back issues - especially those caused by poor posture, weak stomach and pelvic floor muscles and tightness elsewhere in the body.

Wellness workshop

Our first workshop was a great success with 16 participants

Fit2Relax and KR Fitness Education ran this free day of workshops and activities funded by a London Borough of Newham Let's Get the Party Started grant. 


The day included a Fit2Relax gentle seated and standing workout - designed to help care for your spine as well as helping to detox mind and body. 


The importance of keeping hydrated for health and fitness and ways to do this were discussed in an interactive workshop and samples of  a range of herbal teas designed to help hydrate and detox your body. were available throughout the day and participants also took home a Fit2Relax reusable water bottle, to encourage them to drink more water and cut down on plastic.   


What is healthy eating and a 'balanced diet'? Karen at KR Fitness Education looked at current recommendations and food labeling, as well as goal setting.  In the afternoon we concentrated on food diaries and practical ways to change your eating habits.
