Sam here with the first of seven emails talking about Jon Kabat-Zinn's seven pillars of mindfulness: LETTING GO.

Did you know that our class 21/7 was created around the 7 Pillars of Mindfulness? When we sat down to create class number 17 we wanted something that really encompassed mindfulness. Something that included even more mindfulness awareness than our other classes (we already had lots of affirmations, gratitude, mindful minute).

I fell in love with you aged 5 when I'd get excited in the backseat of the car, looking for the huge cat on the high street! Who knew that I'd grow to love you even more than I did back then?

Most of the time Sam and I have a good idea as to what we want to write about each week, but this week I wasn't sure...Then I had a discussion with a lovely personal training client of mine about decision making and, the next day the Daily Calm on the Calm app was titled Indecision, so I decided the Universe was telling me something!

I’m currently in the process of packing to move house. I’m only going 10 minutes down the road from where I am now, but it’s 10 minutes closer to work and I’ll be sharing with a couple of SMASH regulars!

August is here and we are both working hard on ideas for the next chapter of SMASH London. It's really important to reflect on recent success, and not to get caught up in always wanting more that you forget to celebrate, so we want to share that success with you!

It’s that time of year – Holidays, Weddings, Festivals... They are mostly a lot of fun but, for some of us, events like this can raise our anxiety levels...

The summer holidays have started and it looks like some great weather is coming our way next week 😎

Have you ever trained outdoors? When it comes to our fitness training we often choose to train indoors because it's more convenient (especially in the UK).

Pride in London is a celebration of love and acceptance of LGBTQ+ people, as well as serving as a reminder that there are still changes needed for full acceptance. We are lucky as a country to be able to express who we are and have the freedom to be ourselves, but there are still so many countries where this is not the case.
