If you’ve ever tried camping, you know the feeling of sleeping close to the earth, waking up with the daylight, and sensing nature all around you.
But if you find it hard to part with cleanliness, the comfort of a real bed, and a touch of beautiful aesthetics, then glamping might be just right for you.

And where better to experience it than Korasida in Evia — a beach that blends serenity, wild beauty, and the turquoise waters of the Aegean with a space in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings: Balance Tree.

A few days after Father’s Day and inspired by an article in the Canadian newspaper Herald (June 14, 2025), we return to a topic that has concerned us deeply throughout the year: the role of the father in our lives.

In our first piece on the subject, we highlighted the profound impact this figure has on our psyche. We spoke about strictness, distance, but also about the possibility of a new kind of father — more present, more available, more human. The role is changing. The question is: are we changing with it? Is society ready to make space for him? Not honorary space. Real space.

In my classes, you won’t find labels like “beginner” or “advanced.”
We don’t separate people based on how well they perform or how long they’ve been exercising.
Of course, this also helps with the flexibility of the schedule — but the real reason goes deeper:

My goal is to create a space where diversity isn’t an obstacle — it’s an opportunity.

Each person is different. With a different body, background, pace, potential, and needs.
So the “level of difficulty” is always personalized — not as a label, but as an approach.

As summer approaches, many people tend to treat exercise like school: “The season’s over—time for a break.” And just like that, when schools close, so do extracurricular activities — not just for kids, but for adults too.

But exercise isn’t a school subject. It doesn’t follow semesters, and it doesn’t take a summer break. It’s a lifelong habit, like brushing your teeth. Just because the weather gets warmer doesn’t mean your body no longer needs care — in fact, it needs it even more to stay energized, balanced, and healthy.

A personal reflection inspired by the May issue of Women’s Health UK

The May issue of Women’s Health UK includes several references to Pilates that, from my perspective as an instructor, ring deeply true. I witness the method’s effects daily — in my clients’ posture, their breath, and the way they move and carry themselves through life.

According to the article, Pilates was the fastest-growing form of exercise in 2024.
Brodie Wilkins playfully asks:
“What do frogs and mermaids have in common?” Or: “Is a teaser just a series preview, or maybe another Pilates move?”

At some point in your life, you might come face to face with a difficult question: “Of all the things I’m juggling, which ones are truly worth protecting?”

In a well-known speech, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, shared a metaphor that has inspired thousands around the world. He spoke about life as if you’re juggling five balls: work, family, health, friends, and soul.

There is a moment in every woman’s life that simply cannot be ignored. It doesn’t always come with pain, but it almost always comes with turmoil.

Maybe you wake up one morning and feel like a stranger in the life you’ve built. Maybe you look in the mirror and say: “Is this it?”

This inner shake-up, this silent question that’s never spoken aloud, is the midlife crisis.

And yet… behind this turmoil, the greatest gift of your life may be hidden: the opportunity to become the woman you’ve always dreamed of.

Aqua Pilates is a unique form of exercise that combines the principles of Pilates with the therapeutic benefits of water. Utilizing water resistance and hydrostatic pressure, it offers strength, stability, and cardiovascular improvement in a gentle yet effective way.

Why is Aqua Pilates So Valuable?

In his book Outlive, Peter Attia presents ten fundamental capabilities that ensure functionality and independence in everyday life.

The 10 Challenges:

    1.    Walking 2 kilometers uphill without fatigue.

    2.    Getting up off the floor without support.

    3.    Lifting a child in your arms.

    4.    Carrying two grocery bags over a distance of five city blocks.

Glute exercises are not just a women’s affair. After all, the main reason we work out is not solely for a well-shaped figure.
