“Why Pilates? 🤔

Pilates isn’t just about going through the motions of exercise. It’s actually about how you live in your body. 🧘‍♀️

Here’s what regular Pilates training can do for you:

🪑 Improve posture (especially if you’re sitting at a desk all day)
💪 Build strength you can actually use in everyday life
🧘‍♂️ Help you breathe better and move with more control
💛 Boost body awareness and leave you feeling more grounded

Whether you’re running marathons or running after kids, Pilates supports the way you move through life.

So, what actually is Pilates? 🤔

It was created over 100 years ago by Joseph Pilates, who first called it Contrology (because the whole idea was about moving with control and intention).

These days, Pilates is all about building strength, mobility and stability, while helping you feel more connected to how your body moves. It’smovement that supports you everywhere: in class, at your desk, running for the train, or just carrying the shopping.

There are different ways to practise Pilates too. You can do it on the mat with just your bodyweight, or on specialist equipment like the Reformer, Tower or Chair (more on those later!).

At its heart, Pilates is simple: mindful movement that makes you feel stronger, taller and more at home in your body. 💜

Joseph Pilates called it Contrology. We call it a return to self. ✨

It might sound like a fancy word, but it essentially means focusing on the body as a WHOLE. And that means your mind too.

🧠 + 💪 + 💫 = Pilates

This is what we're all about - not just how Pilates makes us feel physically, but mentally too. It's about more than just posture. How do your muscles feel after leaving a Pilates session? How does your mind feel, before your practice and after?

It's about power, presence and purpose. It's felt in the way you work, play and live.

Next up in our series is Training Academy Coordinator, Charlotte.

Meet Charlotte. A powerhouse of quiet strength, Charlotte brings resilience, empathy, and joy to every class she teaches. Living with a physical condition that affects her body, Pilates has been central to her ongoing rehab journey — not just physically, but mentally too.

It’s given her the tools to meet her body where it’s at, and the grace to keep showing up.

“Frustration might arise,” she says, “but I’m still so lucky I get to attend classes in a beautiful studio, led by intelligent instructors, surrounded by a fabulous community of clients, and let my body move in whatever capacity it has on the day.”

No time? 45 minutes is all it takes. ⏰

You don’t need to run marathons or sweat it out in the gym for hours. 45 minutes of Pilates gives your mind, muscles, and mobility far more than a week of “I’ll do it tomorrow.”

Reformer Pilates is as efficient as it gets: full-body focus, zero fluff, and maximum impact.
It’s not about having time. It’s about making it for you.

Next up in our series is Lead Instructor Kristen Marr.

For Kristen, Pilates is more than just a workout — it’s a way to build deep support from within and reconnect with yourself. ✨

“For me, Pilates is about honouring the body I live in — building strength in a way that feels kind, supportive, and sustainable.

A strong core isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s your centre, your stability, your strength. It protects your spine and helps you move through life with more ease.

Reformer Pilates in particular offers a gentle yet powerful way to create that deep connection. It's low-impact but high-return — suitable for every body, every age, every journey.

It’s where I go to feel grounded. To come home to myself.”
