Words by Em Armstrong
In the heart of our Saltbush community, we all know the fiery, spicy, friend and that person we all have that love-hate relationship with…her radiating warmth, energy, and empowerment…the queen is none other than our beloved pilates instructor, Caz – the Queen of Heat. But now, as she faces a daunting battle with cancer, it’s our turn to be the source of her strength, just as she has been ours (getting us through that last pulse). This week, our theme revolves around honoring Caz, celebrating her fiery spirit, and rallying together to support her through her journey.
Caz: A Pillar of Strength and Inspiration:
Caz isn’t just a pilates instructor; she’s a mentor, a motivator, and a friend. Her vibrant energy infuses every session with positivity and determination. Through her guidance, she’s helped countless members of our community find strength, balance, and confidence within themselves. Her dedication to her craft and her unwavering support for each of us have made her an integral part of our Saltbush family.
Embracing the Spice: Pilates Flows with Caz:
Anyone who’s attended Caz’s classes online in The Saltbush Squad knows that they’re more than just workouts – they’re experiences. Her signature “spicy” pilates flows push us beyond our limits, challenging both our bodies and our minds. But amidst the intensity, there’s always laughter and encouragement (which are both needed to get us through). Caz’s classes aren’t just about physical fitness; they’re about empowerment, self-discovery, and joy.
Standing Together with Caz:
Now, as Caz embarks on her own journey with cancer treatment, along with her partner Ben who also is battling cancer, it’s our chance to show her that she’s not alone. Throughout this week, every class, every session, every interaction will be dedicated to supporting Caz and honoring her resilience. We’ll embrace her fiery spirit, channeling it into our workouts and our daily lives.
Supporting Caz’s Cause:
We know that times are financially tough for people, so if you can dig deep in your pockets, amazing, the link is below. But if you can’t dig deep, just find the mat, go for a walk and find movement and happiness in everyday life (as Caz does every day)!
Another non financial way to support the cause, is just by connecting or reaching out to someone you may know already who are going through Cancer, as love from friends and family is a gift that keeps giving.
So, in addition to our support, we’re also rallying behind Caz by raising funds for her partner Ben’s “The March Charge”. Cancer is a battle that no one should face alone, and Caz’s partner’s own struggle only emphasizes the importance of standing together to support them both.
Caz has always been our bright light, with her passion for movement, positivity, and her unwavering strength (on and off the mat). Now, as she navigates through her own challenges, it’s our turn to be her beacon of support.
Let’s come together as a community, embracing Caz’s spirit, and showing her that we’re with her every step of the way. Together, we can overcome any obstacle – because together, we are Saltbush strong. We love you Caz.
Big love. Em, and the entire Saltbush team and community xx
