Barbara’s Yoga & Pilates

I am passionate about the physical, emotional and mental benefits that regular movement brings. Come and move with me and see for yourself.

Wherever you are, whatever your history, adding Yoga, Pilates or both to your week will leave you feeling better. I have always loved to exercise from the simple joy of taking a walk and connecting with nature, but my particular passion lies in the power of connecting mind, body and breath which you will find in practicing Pilates and yoga. I am a level 3 qualified Mat Pilates instructor and Yoga Teacher and have also completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I am registered with the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity and am a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. I love to share the joy that movement, breath work and meditation can bring. I have been teaching locally for a number of years and hope to do so for many more!

It’s a busy time of year so it’s easy to make excuses not to exercise. “I don’t have time”, “How will I get [xyz] done if I come along?” or whatever reason your mind hooks onto. Add to that this endless striving for perfection that society increasingly pushes us to feel “I’m not flexible/strong/young/experienced enough” (fill in your own) and it’s just easier to stay at home and collapse in front of the TV. But this is just a little trick our minds like to play on us. Mostly you do have time and you definitely do not have to be perfect. All you need to be is open and ready to experience the joy and release that comes from a little movement.

So why not come along tonight? I still have spaces in both my classes (Pilates @ 6.30pm, Yoga at 7.45 pm, both at Watermead Village Hall). I’m also now booking for the remaining classes of the year (every Monday to 8 December inclusive).

To book or for any questions please email me at barbarasyogaandpilates@gmail.com.

I hope to see you later

We all know that exercise is good for us, but if you need a little motivation to come and join me in class here are a few specific benefits.

Why Pilates? Those of you who do Pilates regularly know it benefits you. Some of its proven benefits are increased core strength, which helps you move and feel better, improved body awareness (known as proprioception), which means you are less likely to injure yourself, improved mobility and flexibility and better balance. All of this adds up to moving better and feeling better.

Why yoga? Like Pilates yoga will help you tune in with your body and improve mobility, flexibility, balance and strength. With its focus on connecting mind, body and breath yoga has an even greater impact on your mental and emotional health too and helps redress the impact of the stresses of modern life.

Whichever you choose you will walk away feeling better (although I can’t promise you won’t ache!) all for an hour of your time. I still have spaces in both classes so, if you haven’t already, why not email me at barbarasyogaandpilates@gmail.com to find and more or even better, to book and come along tonight.

Yesterday we had an extra hour in bed as the clocks went back. Whilst that extra hour under the duvet was rather lovely, the nights drawing in can have a negative impact on our mental health, and, of course, the darker nights make it harder to simply get up (or out) and move.

The good news is that an hour of movement will not only benefit you physically but also mentally. The even better news is that you can do so without travelling far by joining me at the Watermead Village Hall for Pilates at 6.30pm tonight and/or Yoga at 7.45pm.

For more details of how to book (or to make a booking) please email me at barbarasyogaaandpilates@gmail.com. I’m currently taking bookings for the next 4 weeks (to 17 November).

20/10/2025

Happy Monday everyone, I’m now back from my holidays and so are my Yoga and Pilates classes. If you haven’t already, book in and come along tonight. As the nights draw in it’s so tempting to hibernate but you will feel so much better for a little movement and get to meet some other lovely people too. If you’ve taken a break from classes or haven’t yet got started, don’t wait for the new year, now is an ideal time to get started.

Bookings are currently open for the 5 Mondays to 17 November (bookings for the period to Christmas coming soon). Any questions about the classes or how to book, requests or anything else please get in touch at barbarasyogaandpilates@gmail.com.

I hope to hear from you, and even better, see you later.

It’s Monday so it’s time for some Pilates and Yoga. To quote Kino MacGregor (a well known yoga teacher) “Change only happens in the present moment. The past is already done. The future is just energy and intention.” So whether you’ve been on your mat recently or not, why not show up for yourself tonight (and next week) and make that change?

If you have any questions about how to book or anything else just get in touch by emailing barbarasyogaandpilates@gmail.com.

17/09/2025

Reminder: Yin Yoga tonight, 6.30pm @ Watermead Village Hall. Why not take an hour to reset and restore.

For book or for more details please email me at barbarasyogaandpilates@gmail.com or send me a message.

I hope to see you later.

It really does feel like we are moving into autumn this Monday morning doesn’t it?

Don’t let that become an excuse for spending your evenings sat in front of the TV. You have three opportunities to move with me this week. Pilates @ 6.30 pm and Yoga @ 7.45pm tonight and Yin Yoga @ 6.30pm on Wednesday (a yoga practice which provides a deep stretch and restorative experience through long

All are welcome - my classes are all mixed ability so why not get booked in? If you have any questions, whether about logistics, the timetable or the classes themselves please do get in touch at barbarasyogaandpilates@gmail.com

I hope to see you later and/or on Wednesday.

A quick reminder that classes are running as usual today (Pilates at 6.30 pm, Yoga at 7.45pm). I still have availability in both classes.

I know how hard it can be to get started or restarted with exercise, whether it’s because Pilates or Yoga are new to you or you’ve just taken some time away due to holidays, other commitments or injury, but the best time to get (re)started is always now. I can’t promise you won’t ache but I can promise you’ll feel better for it, get stronger and feel calmer (plus we always have fun). So get booked in and join me in the mat tonight.

I’m currently booking for all classes in September. That’s every Monday as above plus a trial Wednesday on 17 September (same timings as Mondays). The Yoga class will be Yin Yoga on that date (17th).;

I hope to hear from you. To book or for any questions please email barbarasyogaandpilates@gmail.com.

As the weather starts to change it’s even more of an incentive to get inside and get on your mat for some much needed Pilates or Yoga. So what’s on this September?

Mondays from tonight
After a week off enjoying the bank holiday sunshine classes resume as usual tonight with Pilates at 6.30pm and Yoga at 7.45pm. Bookings are open for every Monday in September so please do get in touch to book in.

NEW trial - Wednesday 3 and 17 September
Subject to receiving a minimum number of bookings I am planning to trial running classes on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month to give you a further opportunity to come along and find the joy that comes from moving your body in this way. I really hope this will work so please do book in and tell your friends.

The class timetable is as per Mondays except on 17 September the yoga class will be yin yoga. If you are unfamiliar with this style of yoga it’s a slow, meditative, restorative style of yoga, generally floor based, where poses are held for long periods giving our connective tissues a deep stretch. It helps improves overall mobility and brings our nervous system into its resting and restoring state. Why not come along and give it a try?

If you have any questions, whether it’s about the classes, the timetable or how to book please reply to this email. I can’t wait to see you.
