July's session was a chilly one, even colder than the June one. 

I didn't have high hopes for people to really show up so when 3 decided to brave the cold I was extremely happy and so proud of them!

Left to Right - Yoko, Justine, Johlet and Sue.

I introduced the ladies to the Magic Circle and they had a love hate relationship with it. 

Afterwards we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at our lovely host Grain Food and Wood!

That's right, a free Pilates session and free water and energy/health bar = BONUS!

Well done ladies!

Hope to see you at our next X-Plore Pilates!

Much love

Healthy Winter Fruits and Veggies

Winter has sneaked up on us faster than expected. I love Winter just as much as I love Summer. Each season has it's special qualities and moments. In Johannesburg, I love that we don't have wet winters but rather wet summers. Winter is the time of year when my favourite foods start popping up more often, like butter nut soup. I can eat that day in and day out. That made me think of some healthy and yummy winter fruits and veggies...
