<p>OK, this isn’t exactly a new fitness trend but is getting <em>a lot</em> of press. Harry Styles has reportedly said it&#8217;s the reason he is so <strong>damn</strong> buff (sorry got a bit carried away there). The Reformer machines help your body to find length and space whilst under spring tension. It&#8217;s not just a core workout, but also creates internal pressure to lengthen the spine, joints and muscles. And that leads to greater flexibility, strength, stamina and a more balanced posture. Try it at one of the <a href="https://thepilatesmovementstudio.co.uk/">Pilates Movement Studios</a> in Guildford and Godalming. Sadly we can’t promise Harry will be there.</p>

<p>You might of heard a little about Padel, which is one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

<p>A bit like modern meditation Breathwork is a scientifically proven transformative technique that uses a circular breathing pattern of deep and rapid breathing to guide you into an altered state and accesses the subconscious mind (known as a theta brainwave state.). Related to yoga it can help with grief healing, trauma release, sleep issues, anxiety, and depression. It has widely been attributed with boosting energy, rebalancing, and improving immunity as well as helping people let go of emotional blocks. <a href="https://www.somaspace.co.uk/classes">Soma Space</a> in Claygate offers 1-1 sessions with Joanna Porter who also teaches vinyasa flow style of yoga.</p>
