News & EventsWe are certainly whizzing our way through this year! We wanted to take a moment to acknowledge our team and all of our clients who have continued to keep body and mind healthy with us at Zone. We are grateful to our team who support eachother and their clients, and, we are grateful to our clients who have continued to prioritise their health and well-being. To those people on our Wait Lists, thank you for being so patient. Know that once you are in, you are in!!! There has been much chatter about what Pilates really is as more and more studios pop up. In short, Reformers do not Pilates make! Pilates is about Whole Body Health. It is about being educated in Principles of Movement, learning to tune into BodyMind and listen/respond to the messages your body gives you. Pilates can be rehab-oriented and it can be 'fitness' oriented and often a mix of both. We think Pilates is that thing you do that makes everything else you do better! Our advice is to do your homework on the studios you are looking at. Extensive Pilates Training, eg through Body Control or Polestar, takes over 18 months of comprehensive learning culminating in both written and practical exams, alongside hours and hours in a logbook of self-mastery & assistant teaching. So, pre-think what your goals/needs from starting into Pilates might be? Have a look around and see what suits you. The Move Over Cancer Campaign with The Cancer Rehab. Foundation - Pinc & Steel has kicked off again for this year. If you are keen to get involved visit moveovercancer.org.nz Cancer Rehabilitation is not a 'nice-to-have', it is an absolute 'need-to-have'. So many men and women diagnosed with cancer are left with Physical and Psychological barriers after the standard medical interventions of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and drug therapy. Many believe that this is just what they have to live with, when the opposite is true. There is much that can be done to help and we feel very priviledged to be a truly positive part of their journey with them. The Pinc and Steel Trust have created progressive cancer rehab programmes to enourage continued movement/exercise. These are called the 'second tier' programmes - Targeted Classes, Paddle On and Next Steps. These group classes aim to keep our Cancer Rehab clients moving on from their individual sessions. From there, there are Nationwide Pinc and Steel events running under the umbrella of 'Move Over Cancer'. These initiatives are so inspiring and so valuable and we see them working every time we get to help someone with Cancer in our studio. It is no wonder that the founder of Pinc and Steel, Lou James, made the Queen's New Years Honours List! Seriously deserved. That woman is a legend! Just a note to always stay diligent with your safety in the studio - for yourself, fellow clients and with respect to the apparatus. Many of you have been coming to the studio for a really long time and it is easy to get complacent. It is vital you stay focused on your movement, be aware of the ins and outs of the apparatus, be aware of what is around you and think through what you are doing and why. You will not only keep yourself, others and the apparatus safe but you will get better results in doing so. Thank you for your continued dedication to Pilates and to Physio - it is all about prioritising your health. It really does make life better! Tiddly Pom!
