Hi hi hi lovely humans

My posting and promoting game has been quite sporadic as of late🫪

I’ve been busy behind the scenes, figuring out which direction to take my business, how I want to show up as a teacher and educator and perhaps most importantly, how to create a relationship to movement that’s both sustainable, adaptable and brings JOY 🤭

The good news is, I’ve decided to stick around and I’ll be continuing to teach, share knowledge and geek out on the human body with you🧚

Though, you’ve probably clocked, it’s a goodbye to what has been and a hello to Move With Connie (oooh yes, we’ve levelled up!)

I’m super excited to be slowly stepping back into and showing up more publicly within the world of health and wellness. Nothing drastic as of yet but there will be more presence from me.

More insight will be arriving via our newsletter, starting up again from September (if you’d like to be added, send me a dm)🙂‍↕️

I hope to see, educate and move with your beautiful faces in the upcoming months

A snippet of what I taught this morning for the AJ bell Mat Pilates crew with @urwellbeing_

This particular side series was introduced after building the foot-block relationship at the beginning of the session, following that efficiency in the movement is being generated by the focused activation in the supporting foot-leg, rather than solely prioritising the leg that lifts🦶 🦵

here’s what I’ve been up to movement wise as of late ‼️

Pilates, yoga, running, strength training, swimming, walking…a little bit of this and a little bit of that🕺

all in all creating a delicious mixture of strength, adventure and joy

at its heart, fitness is about doing what makes you feel good, and you have the choice to do that by putting yourself out there! do the things that scare you, because you never know unless you try 🤭 taken in Manchester UK by @move.with.connie

oh boy, I am a sucker for some delicious posterior chain activation (PCA)🤭

PCA in Mat Pilates targets deep, hard to reach muscles in your back body (think glutes, hamstrings, spinal erectors, upper back…)

in short, it strengthens your back body!

and here’s HOW PCA in Mat Pilates can support you:

POSTURE: it helps to keep you upright and relieve tightness, counteracting the “hunch” position you might find yourself in more often than not (🫪)
BALANCE: it balances out abdominal work, supporting core engagement and helping to prevent compression in the lower back
POWER: it works with big juicy muscle groups and by learning how to engage them, your energy is used more efficiently and effectively across your body (ie. in actions like lifting, bending, walking, jumping)

if you don’t know, get to know‼️‼️

Here is some of the movement I’ve been up to lately 😎

A combination of strength, mobility, recovery and rest. All working to deepen the mind-body connection and create a sustainable and adaptable movement experience.

Movement isn’t a one size fits all approach and your relationship and capacity will change on an ongoing basis. But within this, a strong relationship to movement comes from consistency and simplicity. It’s about creating a rhythm that you can return to, one that feels attainable even when the motivation drops.

(BTW Pilates is a beautiful gateway into this🤫) taken in Manchester UK by @move.with.connie

Muddy run with the SW team last weekend☀️🕶️ 💪

Joining a group run/walk for charity is a beautiful motivation and starting point if you’re new to the world of running or fitness in general. They are often low-pressure, community-based and of course all in aid of a great cause!

There’s plenty available to give one a go!✨🧚 taken in Temple Newsam by @move.with.connie
