7 weeks with the Paskowitz Surf Camp www.paskowitz.com crew in San Diego Campland on the Bay What an incredible experience, I met some wonderful people and made some friends for life ( sniff sniff ), I also got exhausted and exhilerated teaching kids to surf. Working alongside some amazing watermen, helping the autistic families and kids get into the water. Surfers Healing
Sleeping in a tent for 7 weeks, definately welcomed a snuggley bed. Now I have been away a week, I have struggled with the transition, living in such close proximities with people can be agitating at times but generally plenty of giggles and hilarious times were had. I am really proud that I took the plunge to do something out of my comfort zone! Reflection is key in any rewarding experience, I feel so blessed to have experienced a Southern Californian summer with the Paskowitz Crew. San Diego is such a buzzy town, great surf and lots to see. I learned so much about surf culture and its rich history, I have a new found appreciation for many surf crafts. Traveling is in my blood, I love being on the road, meeting new people, discovering new spots, testing my strength to step into the unknown, trust.
My travels now took me to L.A to see a special friend, now I am in Santa Cruz, with some wonderful surfing chicas, who have opened up there home to me, and dear old snowboarding friends. What a fabulous spot, very eco friendly, cool water, kelp in the ocean and bikes everywhere, fresh summer fruit, and waves on the way!
Love Love…x
San Francisco tomorrow – dreams do come true!

One of my Favourite teachers @the_pilates_journal One of my Favourite teachers @the_pilates_journal eXpO in Sydney this weekend said that Pilates came to her at a time in her life when things were a bit rocky, I felt emotions rise as I thought back to when I was introduced to the method, I was totally broken, broken body from a career in snowboarding on crutches & a broken heart as-well, unresolved issues. However what was a first time on a reformer w Ness @vanessavettepilates soon became my medicine to get me back on track walking again & comfortable to continue sports & my work. Soon I decided to train to become a teacher w @polestarpilatesnz & @mfpilates as my guide/mentor as well as many others. 
Fast forward I still teach Pilates it’s now 18 years since that first time introduced to Pilates, I now am diploma level certified & love continuing my education. 
This weekend being immersed with so many other passionate teachers & amazing speakers was incredible, so much to digest. 

Pilates with Rhythm & flow will help you arrive in a ‘flow state’ which I liken to riding a great wave, taking a good line on the mountain. The synergies with our body mind & spirit, can all be found with a good pilates practise. 

I genuinely love teaching pilates, and I love sharing this method w so many people I teach & help. It was so awesome to chat to other teachers at the eXpO & especially Ness & Keely from Gisborne NZ. Thanks so much @the_pilates_journal for a fantastic weekend.
