Coming back to my handstand practice and I’m reminded how important it is to BREATHE!!! We’re not talking huge deep belly breaths, but controlled sips of air through the nose (if you can!). This will help you conserve energy and stay CALM!! Which we all know is crucial for balance. (Second photo: I came down from my 40 mins of practice to find a very annoyed baby 😂)

Happy 2019 everyone!!! I’m sorry I’ve been a little MIA lately... we had a bit of a stressful few weeks due to a plumbing disaster, work stresses and holiday madness. On top of that, I was checked over by a physio and advised to “take it easy” for a few more weeks. I’m SO enjoying getting to know my baby girl and watching her grow - I know there’s PLENTY of time for training in the future. Being a breastfeeding mum with no outside childcare just means that I’m constantly on-call for my baby’s needs. I take my hat off to any single mums who manage this! Anyway, I’ll be able to carve out a bit more time to myself as Malin gets a bit less dependent on me, but it’s certainly an adjustment from how my training was before (when the only thing standing in my way at times was my own lack of motivation 🙈). Physically, I feel great and ready to jump back into my training but logistically this might take a little bit of creative baby time management. I wish you all much happiness and joy for the coming year. I can’t imagine 2019 topping last year!

Everyone getting involved in this afternoon’s training!

Endurance starting to get better - shoulders are stronger and joints feel better lubricated. Swipe to see sleepin’ babe.

Coming back to HS training postpartum is definitely a rediscovery of my body! Certain things feel really tight and underused (thoracic spinal extension, toe point!) and this position is not as easy and comfortable as before. I’m only doing a limited amount of reps and trying to listen to my body when things “don’t feel right” but would love to hear from any of you who have had babies and gone back to training!

First post-partum handstand featuring sprog and dog! Don’t worry, I’m not back to training yet, just wanted to see if I could still do a handstand! 🙈

Here she is! Our little Malin Mona Brodie-Jones. Born on the 6th October 10:22am weighing in at 3.76kg (8.3lbs). She is perfect and healthy and an absolute star. We love her so much already and she’s only a few hours old!

This is another one of my online students @littlejenbean . Jen came to me with a pretty great handstand foundation already - one of her goals was to get over her fear up jumping up onto her handbalance canes. After one month of coaching she’s managed to add QUITE a bit of height to her jump to handstand, (swipe for progress video) AND she’s become more solid and consistent! Well done Jen 👏🏻👏🏻 I’ll be back in late November/early December for online coaching so do get in touch then if you’re interested!

This is one of my fantastic online students @rthsiung who has been working with me for the past month before I go on my maternity leave. She has worked super hard and has made MASSIVE improvements in strength, balance and consistency. This is her first week’s training compared to her last (swipe for second video) Well done Rachel!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Two weeks to go!! Thanks for the fun shoot @leyla_rees
