Pilates Changed The Way I Think About Movement

Uncategorized / By

Originally from the East Coast, Emily Lieginger grew up in Boston, Massachusetts. She worked as a public accountant before her husband and she moved to Tokyo in 2009 and then on to Hong Kong in 2011. “Since moving abroad I have been working at home to raise our three kids. Just this year my littlest is off to pre-school in the mornings. I’m experiencing a bit of empty nest syndrome, but not to worry, by 11:30 each morning the chaos has returned and my home is full again.”

Why a Liver Cleanse is NOT a Juice Cleanse

Uncategorized / By

Usually when people see the word “detox” they automatically think juice cleanse. However, a proper liver cleanse is very different from a juice cleanse; it is a food and herb cleanse, using carefully prescribed clean foods, herbs and nutrients. There is no need to starve to cleanse your liver! That’s the beauty of a proper liver and gallbladder cleanse, using the finest supplements only sold to registered homeopaths. To intensify the effects of the actual cleanse prescription, it is recommended that those on a liver cleanse take daily, physical activity to produce detoxifying sweat, however this is not crucial for the cleanse to be effective.

People retreat for as many reasons as there are retreats. The trick is to have an idea what you’re looking for and use the time you put your life on hold to kick start or speed up your physical fitness and flexibility, your mental peace, your emotional stability and spiritual healing. Sound like too much to ask for? Just escape your usual busy-ness, open yourself to healing and expect the unexpected.

Here at Flex we offer Yoga and Pilates classes as our core products. Many people ask us what the difference between yoga and Pilates is.

Your new centre of gravity with pre-natal pilates

Uncategorized / By

Modelone modelling agency founder, model, actress and micro-blogger Ana Rivera has called Hong Kong home for many years. “I was a ballet dancer since the age of six. I’m not a crazy fitness person but I do love the shape of a dancer’s body and I miss dancing a lot, so I thought it would be a no brainer to do Pilates.” However it took her some time to find a teacher with whom she really resonated. “A good friend introduced Flex to me and I felt at home right away there. It could not have been more perfect timing as I had just got pregnant and was looking for a place to exercise and it’s not so easy to find classes or teachers that know what you and your body are going through.”

Refreshing Rosella Tea

Uncategorized / By

Rosella (hibiscus) is in season right now and I’m enjoying drinking rosella tea at home. This tea can satiate your thirst very effectively so it is great to drink instead of commercial sports drinks. With strong anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties it can help with coughs and colds as it contains a significant amount of acid ascorbic (vitamin C). It is also good for reducing cholesterol and high blood pressure, relieving menstrual cramps and facilitating the digestion.
