A Gentle Reminder to Check In On Your Heart

May is May Measure Month, a worldwide campaign to raise awareness about the importance of blood pressure checks. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, yet it is one of the leading causes of heart problems and strokes. That is why early detection really matters.

Small Steps That Make a Big Difference

At VFJ Pilates, we are all about helping you move more, stress less, and look after your overall wellbeing. Taking a few minutes to check your blood pressure can be an important part of that. Whether you pop into a pharmacy, use a home monitor, or have it checked at your GP, it is a small step that can make a big difference.

Support Your Heart With Everyday Habits

You do not need to make sweeping changes overnight. Even gentle movement, regular relaxation, and a balanced lifestyle can help support a healthy heart. Pilates can be part of that routine, especially when paired with good sleep, hydration, and stress management. Our classes are designed to help you reconnect with your body, lower stress, and move in a way that feels good.

Let This Be Your Reminder

This May, let us take a moment to check in, with ourselves and with others. Encourage a friend to get their blood pressure checked, or simply take a pause and ask how your own heart is doing. A little awareness can go a long way.
