Cancer does not check your age before it knocks on the door.

Our client data is telling an important story. More older people are now living with cancer and seeking our care, with clients in their 70s making up 27% of those we support and people in their 80s a further 5%. It is a clear reminder of just how vital affordable, accessible therapies are later in life.

At the same time, we are seeing more younger people too. Clients in their 30s and 40s now make up 17% of our community, reflecting national trends of rising cancer diagnoses in people aged 20 to 49.

No matter the age or stage, we are here for our community.

If you or someone you know is living with cancer, now is a good time to explore affordable complementary therapies and support to help make each day more manageable, amd to know you dont need to face cancer alone.

If you know anyone with cancer…
you know cancer sucks.

Not in a dramatic way.
Not in a headline way.
But in the slow, everyday ways
no one prepares you for.

It steals energy before it steals hair.
It steals plans before it steals sleep.
It turns ordinary days
into waiting rooms
and calendar appointments
you never asked for.

Cancer doesn’t just show up in the body.
It shows up in conversations that trail off,
in meals left half-eaten,
in the way laughter sounds thinner
when you’re trying too hard to keep it normal.

If you know anyone with cancer,
you know how brave looks quiet.
How strength doesn’t always roar —
sometimes it just gets up again.

You learn that hope can exist
right beside fear.
That joy and grief
can share the same breath.

You learn how heavy
“Let me know if you need anything” feels
when you don’t even know
what you need yourself.

Cancer sucks because it teaches you
how fragile time really is.
How precious a good day feels.
How sacred an ordinary moment becomes.

And if you love someone fighting it,
you learn that love looks like staying.
Sitting in silence.
Holding hands when words feel useless.

Cancer sucks.
But so does pretending it doesn’t.

So if this poem hurts to read,
it’s because it’s written
from the middle of it —
from the places we don’t post about,
but carry every day.

For anyone fighting.
For anyone watching.
For anyone loving someone through it.

You are not weak for being tired.
You are not dramatic for being scared.
And you are not alone —
even when it feels like it.

Use it or lose it.

Muscles fade when they aren’t used. Balance is lost when it isn’t practiced. Independence slips away when strength isn’t preserved. Movement, even in its simplest forms, is the safeguard against decline.

Yep

🤷🏽‍♀️| ⁠We promise we can count… ⁠
⁠
You know that moment when your instructor says, Just 10 more… and somehow it turns into 30? 👀⁠
⁠
Pilates math isn’t about numbers; it’s about the shake, the burn, and pushing past what you thought was your limit. Trust us, we can count… we just choose not to. 😅⁠

So true

Students don’t know how introverted their teachers are. Most of us just have situational extroversion: when it’s’ time to stand in front of a group or teach into a camera, we have a switch that we can flip. It turns on action mode.

It’s a weird dichotomy, because most of us that became teachers did so because we fell in love with the quiet, internal experience of the practice. It’s nothing that we can’t manage, but, for most of us, learning to navigate the social landscape of teaching is the trickiest part of the job.
