#63 What's in season this month, the June Pilates challenge and a frozen yoghurt recipe
The Weekly Dose
Week 1 of the summer challenge is completed - well done everyone! As Joseph Pilates once said ‘in 10 sessions you’ll feel a difference, in 20 you’ll see a difference and in 30 you’ll have a whole new body.’ Nothing makes me happier than creating fun, feel good classes to help you feel stronger, healthier and more confident in your body with movement that genuinely feels good and fits into your lifestyle anytime, anywhere. Pilates has transformed my relationship with exercise and is something I genuinely look forward to teaching everyday. Whether you fancy joining us live each week or catching up with the classes in your own time, I hope to see you on the mat soon (you can start your 7 day free trial via the link below).
Clinic wise, the legendary Lottie continues to support our clients to break free from the cycles of dieting, emotional eating, binge eating and disordered eating. It is the biggest privilege to work with incredible people, helping them build healthier relationships with food and enjoy the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. If you’re looking for 1:1 support, Lottie has availability to work with new clients from July so please don’t hesitate to book in a complimentary discovery call if you’re interested in working together.
LOVING | This Rosehip cleansing oil from Pai. I’m quite picky when it comes to skincare but this works like a dream and leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. Big fan.
THIS WEEK’S RECIPE: Frozen Yoghurt Bark
INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups yoghurt (I used thick plain Greek yoghurt)
1 tbsp honey (optional)
3 tbsp peanut butter (alternative nut butters would work just as well e.g. almond, cashew etc)
1 handful raspberries
DIRECTIONS
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Mix the yoghurt and honey together and spread the mixture evenly onto the lined baking tray.
Dollop spoonfuls of nut butter onto the yoghurt mixture and gently swirl it in.
Sprinkle the Raspberries on top and freeze overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
Slice into chunks and enjoy!
NOTES
Additional Toppings: cinnamon, blueberries, alternative nut butters, cacao nibs.
WHAT CLIENT’S SAY:
“I didn't realise at the beginning of this process just how vulnerable this experience would feel, or how emotional it could be. Lottie provides an incredibly safe, non-judgmental space to tackle any sensitive subject matter. She is patient and kind and a wonderful listener, who seeks to uplift and never shame.
Being able to be open and transparent about my relationship with food has made it easier to be receptive to the more educational, nutrition-based parts of our conversations, because I don't feel I have to be on the defensive. I feel more of an abundance mindset when it comes to eating well, versus one rooted in deprivation, and feel excited about striving for diverse, nutrient-dense meals. The entire process has been very encouraging, uplifting, and cathartic.”
