What’s the connection?

Posted on by

mind, body, spirit and soul - word cloud on a digital tabletTo mark the launch of Sue Cooper’s Community Health and Wellbeing initiative, Newark’s Balance Studio will be hosting a free screening of the film The Connection – Mind Your Body on Friday 24 April.

The film explores the direct connection between our minds and our bodies, showing how frontier research is proving that we have more influence on our health than we ever thought possible. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in finding out how we can benefit by integrating the latest science in mind-body medicine into our everyday lives…

Invited by the incoming High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Dr Jas Bilkhu, to support him in the local community as Health and Wellbeing Ambassador, Sue will be discussing her initiative for the year ahead.

The screening and discussion take place between 10am and 12 noon at the studio in Paxton’s Court. Refreshments will be provided; admission is free but a voluntary donation to Nottinghamshire Hospice is requested.

Places are limited and advance booking is essential – contact Philippa Burnett (pilatesbyphilippa@btinternet.com) to make your reservation.

These girls can – can you?

This_Girl_Can_Logo_PMS_248We’re loving the ad promoting This Girl Can, the national Sport England campaign celebrating active women who are doing their thing no matter how well they do it – and letting nothing (not even sweat!) stand in their way.

Designed to inspire women to wiggle, jiggle, move and prove that judgement is a barrier that can be overcome, the initiative has been gathering support from individuals and clubs across the country and beyond since the ad first appeared on TV a few days ago.

good things come 2It’s aimed at encouraging women of all ages and abilities, shapes and sizes into sport or exercise, showcasing ‘real’ women to demonstrate that, although fear of judgement is stopping many of us from taking part in exercise, it really doesn’t have to.

And with “Sweating like a pig, feeling like a fox” and “I kick balls, deal with it” among the hard-hitting lines used, the campaign certainly doesn’t pull any punches(!) in its approach…

you don't have to go fastDefinitely an initiative and a topic the Girls Around Town will be exploring on the show when we’re back on air – well, what else would you expect when one of us is the updisputed Deadlift Queen of a leading Newark gym?!

And we’ll be inviting you to contribute to the discussion by sharing your own stories on air and on our Facebook page, so watch this space.

In the meantime, you can find out more about This Girl Can and how to get involved here.

If you haven’t already seen the ad, take a look now – it’s guaranteed to make you giggle. And if it doesn’t inspire you to wiggle, jiggle and ‘get your freak on’, then nothing will!
