Wellness With a Smile / Pilates Janica

  Overrun, stressed, exhausted, tired, grumpy, unhappy, unhealthy, breathing problems, unfit, a diet that would need to be put in the bin... So many negative words that describe how a person can feel when they do not have a balance in life. Unfortunately almost every day I meet a person who has one or more of these symptoms, YES symptoms. Feeling stressed or anxious is an illness that takes time to heal. Sometimes weeks sometimes months. Simplicity is key in overall life as well as healing. If you wake up every morning dreading the day ahead there is something not right in your current situation.  Let your mind be calm instead of crowding it with millions of thoughts every second. Did you know an average person has over 50 000 thoughts a day? Someone telling you to stop thinking won't really be as simple as we all think (no pun intended).  This positive emptiness comes from little things like writing your thoughts down or having a cup of tea without using your phone at th...

  The possibility of working 4 days a week is an idea that has been launched.  The R, R and R approach. How would it help you as a person?   Unfortunately, quite a few people experience some form of stress in their lifetime, especially when they are employed in a fast pace environment. Headaches and stiffness in the muscles cause discomfort, sometimes to the point of excruciating pain. You try to drink plenty of water and move around during your day, but nothing seems to help.  How would a 4 day week reduce this? #TIME is the key.  Time to rest and Recover. Another key point for minimizing the effects of a working week is  Reflection. Taking that step back and thinking and/or writing down what was great about the past week, what did not go as well as it could. This clears the mind and it's then ready for the next phase. Regroup: How will the following week begin? Will you start nice and early with that lovely cup of coffee? What is good to get done. N...

Who is behind that pepsodent smile and energetic voice? It's me Pilates Janica . Teaching has been the driving force in my career for over 23 years and I have to say it is the best feeling when you realize that something you have taught has helped an individual to make them feel better, get rid of pains etc. I started off as a dancer and a dance instructor from ballet to modern dance + a qualification in Sports Massage Therapy .  A nice little combo where both careers benefit each other.   Travelling has always been my passion and this has led me to teach retreats abroad. Collaborating with two wonderful travel agencies has given me an insight on not just how holiday trips are made but the ways those places make it happen so easily for me and my clients to be able to travel to stunning locations and leave all our stress behind. When relocating I decided that it was time to get some more knowledge on how the human body works, so I entered college to study Sports Therapy ....

After I got hit by a van while driving my bicycle to work, I was even more sure about my life. To achieve greatness and live to the full. It´s the start of a new week. I have prepared my week quite well even if I say so myself. Meetings, classes of Pilates , Ballet and stretching during the week. I am doing my dream job and absolutely nothing takes me away from this. When I wake up in the morning I feel light on my feet, energetic and ready for each day. I was really meant to do what I do. Thank you to my mother who took me to dance classes.             A career was risen from that, which                         will last a lifetime.
