THE PRESENCE OF AUTUMN

Even though we have been blessed with an 'Indian Summer' over the last couple of weeks here in Toulouse, it is actually Autumn & today feels a little autumnal......

Each season brings a shift in many areas of our life, but particularly the well being of our bodies.

Autumn could be the time to start preparing ourselves for the colder months ahead & perhaps an opportunity to adopt new habits.

Pilates can help to support the immune systemm.  When we exercise the brain releases endorphine (the 'happy' hormone!)& recent research has shown that endorphins released through exercise increase the number, percentage and effectiveness of the immune cells.   

Anxiety & stress have a very negative effect on the body, so we need to get those happy hormones working!
