Honouring the Practice in a Pick-and-Mix World
Dear Teacher, We live in a time where movement practices are often shaped by trends. Where classes are blended, rebranded, and adapted to fit what’s popular or marketable. Where it’s easy to pick what we like… and quietly leave the rest behind. And yet, whether you teach yoga, Pilates, BODYBALANCE, or any form of mindful movement, there is still something deeper that sits underneath it all. A thread, a responsibility, perhaps a practice. This isn’t about following one lineage or doing things the “right” way. But it is about remembering that what we teach carries influence. How we guide people into their bodies, how we speak about effort and rest, how we hold space for breath, awareness, and change all matter. So, this month, I invite you to pause and reflect not just on what you’re teaching, but on how you’re holding it. Are you teaching from habit… or from intention? From performance… or from presence? From pressure… or from understanding? In a world that often rushes to simplify and sell…your depth is what sets you apart. You don’t need to be louder, and you don’t need to do more. You just need to stay rooted in what you believe this work is truly about. That’s what people feel. That’s what they remember, and that’s what keeps this work meaningful for you and for them. With respect for the path you walk, Ann-See xo

BODYBALANCE Essence
Did you know that the essence of the programme has shifted from "BODYBALANCE. The Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates workout that builds flexibility and strength and leaves you feeling centred and calm" to "Ideal for anyone and everyone, LES MILLS BODYBALANCE™ is a new generation yoga workout that will improve your mind, your body, and your life"? What are your thoughts?

I really like 104, it's challenging in a good way and there is plenty of time with each of the tracks. I normally I do tai chi warm-up but I'm really loving the yoga warm-up in 104 so I'm doing it for a change. In fact I love the whole release! I love how I feel after I've done body balance. I also teach Pilates and for me the 2 work well together.
BODYBALANCE 104
Hi! I've the pleasure of running the quarterly webinar this Sunday at 1215pm, along with Tine Boles. I'm also doing a practice session on June 22, in person and online, if you'd like to join in. Should I continue running these after this release?

Thanks for sharing this piece. I have heard of people having really bad experiences that are not acceptable, although I haven't had any myself. There will sadly always be some people who cause harm and let down the Yoga/Pilates fitness/community.
