*Overcoming Vertigo: An Empowered Journey through Multiple Medical Perspectives* Julie takes over Far 2 Fabulous! Episode 29. What if a simple family holiday could turn your world upside down? Join Julie Clark Nutrition on this week's episode as she recounts a profound experience from a recent vacation in Spain that led to an unexpected medical journey. Picture playing in the waves with your child, only to be hit by a massive wave that leaves you battling severe vertigo later that evening. Initially attributing it to a bit too much holiday cheer, Julie soon discovered the real culprit was Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

HIIT, or High-Intensity Interval Training, is a form of exercise characterized by short bursts of intense activity followed by periods of rest or lower-intensity exercise, designed to maximize calorie burn and improve cardiovascular fitness in a shorter amount of time. HIIT Pilates (or Cardio Pilates as I used to call it) is something I created about 8years ago now. It incorporates the efficiency and calorie burning of HIIT with the toning and strengthening of Pilates. It is a match made in heaven! We do this with fantastic music and adapt it with weights, tempo and an endless list of exercises and modifications. It is a very popular class. HIIT is suitable for individuals of varying fitness levels who seek efficient and effective workouts, as it can be adapted to accommodate beginners to advanced exercisers and tailored to specific goals, such as weight loss, cardiovascular health, or muscle toning. If you would love to try HIIT P, send me a message letting me know which class you would like to try and what email address to send it to, and I will send you the link to join us!

What will the day look like? The day will begin at 8:30 a.m. with an hour of gentle stretching. It is an intentionally easy start: if 8:30 is too early for you or you are running late, it immediately relieves the pressure. Just come in, unroll your mat, and join in the stretching when you can. Welcome and refreshments. There will be 4 workshops and a chance to journal and ask questions throughout the day. All the sessions are suitable for beginners and experienced folk alike. Pilates: Our practice will focus on uncurling our bodies from the long winter and opening them up like blooming spring blossoms. By the end, you can look forward to feeling stretched, toned, and connected to your body. Breathwork: Continuing with our theme, we will spring-clean our lungs and subconscious using different breathing patterns and cues. At the end of this, you will feel as light as a petal. SoundBath: As you lay there, allow the soundwaves to bathe away any remaining darkness from your winter. This seemingly sedate practice has everlasting benefits for your body, mind and spirit. By the end, your face will be smiling like a sunflower and every cell will be ringing like a bluebell! Meditation: I will lead you through various meditations that will complement the renewing experience you have enjoyed all day. This will give you time to process the day and hear what words of wisdom your intuition has for you as you go forward into Spring. Lunch and refreshments: There will be a beautiful plant-based lunch and some incredible sweet treats for afters. Water will be available throughout the day, and breaks with hot drinks will be provided. There is one extra treat that I will reveal on the day! We will finish around 6 pm. (The tide will be in, and the sunset is 6.08 pm, so if anyone fancies a sunset dip afterwards, wind-dependent, I will be going in, and you are very welcome to join me - or watch!!) Book now and join us! www.vitalityrooms.co.uk/vitality-rooms-experience/
