Mirna's Aerobic studio

Glimmers are everywhere – tiny sparks of light scattered through even the most ordinary days, quietly waiting for us to notice them. But we have to train ourselves to notice them, to look for them, and to allow those small moments of goodness to count.

Like the first green leaves appearing on the trees in our front garden. Spring is not shouting yet. It is whispering. But the promise is there: warmer days, new beginnings and fresh life returning to branches that looked bare only a short while ago.

I think that's what Henri Matisse meant when he said: "There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”

And perhaps that is the real invitation of glimmers: not to wait for life to feel extraordinary, but to become more attentive to the ordinary moments that already hold something good.

Glimmers do not make our difficulties disappear. They do not clear an overcrowded diary or take away someone’s heartache. They do not pretend that life is always easy.

They simply remind us that the difficult thing is not the only thing.

If there is one thing we know how to do at Mirna’s Aerobic Studio, it is to turn an ordinary, freezing Tuesday night, into something rather extraordinary.

And so, after thirteen weeks of workouts, winter mornings, dark afternoons, staying accountable, sweat, laughter, challenges and a whole lot of determination, there was only one appropriate way to bring the curtain down on our Winter Challenge of 2026:

Movie Magic! And did our members deliver!

For one magical evening, our studio was transformed into our very own little Hollywood. There were pirates and movie stars, Marilyn Monroe, Private Benjamin, Bumblebee, Dracula, Cruella de Ville, and enough interesting characters to make you wonder whether you had accidentally walked onto a movie set instead of into an aerobic studio.

But underneath the costumes, the laughter and the silliness was something much more important: We were celebrating winter. Or, more accurately, we were celebrating the fact that we had conquered it.

Winter has a funny way of testing your commitment. The alarm goes off while it is still dark. The blankets suddenly develop supernatural powers. The couch becomes increasingly attractive. And there are many mornings and evenings when staying home seems like a perfectly reasonable life choice.

And yet, they came. They came to Step, bounce, lift and dance. They squatted, lunged, planked and showed up for one another. Week after week, they chose to keep moving.

And That’s a Wrap… on Winter! 🎬✨ - Mirna's Blog Lights. Camera. Celebration!

“Wat die hart van vol is loop die mond van oor”, lui die uitdrukking. Ek kan regtig nie anders nie – my ervaring verlede Woendsdag in die studio saam met die Kwêla-span, moet doodeenvoudig verewig word in my blog …

Ek wens daar was ‘n woord groter en ryker as ‘onvergeetlik’ of ‘ongelooflik’. Want albei voel heeltemal te klein vir wat ek die afgelope week beleef het.

Eendag, wanneer my koppie bewe daar op die ouetehuis se voorstoep, en Nina vra my oor die goeie ou dae, sal ek terugdink aan Woensdag as een van die heel, heel lekkerste en beste dae van my hele lewe.

Dit voel regtig nou nog asof ek op wolke loop.
