💙💙I know how much incontinence can make your life embarrassing and miserable.

I’ve worked with women who have told me how it has made them feel - ashamed, overwhelmed and isolated

If you’re constantly worrying about leaks you might ⬇️⬇️

✅Avoid social gatherings because you’re afraid of an accident in public.
✅Skip doing exercise in case certain movements trigger a leak.
✅Maybe you carry extra clothes and pads around.
✅Perhaps you plan your day around where the toilets are, limiting your freedom to move around.

These challenges can chip away at your self-esteem and make you feel like you’ve lost control of your own life.

👏My next transformational Pelvic Floor class starts on Thursday September 26. It’s online so no need to travel. Stay in the comfort of your own home.

You will feel the difference by Christmas!🤶

😊We know exercise is important for making the body more flexible, healthier and all-round…better.

What about the mind?👏

The way you move can also affect the way you think and feel. Think about it. When you feel tired and sad - you move more slowly. When you’re anxious you might rush around or the opposite - freeze.

🙆‍♀️So, there’s no getting away from it - regular exercise is good for you physically and mentally.

It's not just about breaking a sweat or feeling exhausted.

My Pilates classes offer a gentle yet effective way to improve your physical and mental health. Yes, I do push you to work hard, but always with your safety and comfort in mind.

For anyone going through tough times, …we’re a caring group of like-minded people, and my classes are a safe space to move and benefit from shifting your overwhelm and emotions to a more bearable place.🤭

Pelvic Floor Boot Camp September 2024 -

Carol has just finished my latest course…read on and see why she recommends the course ⬇️🙋‍♀️⬇️🙋‍♀️

28/08/2024

We’re skipping into Autumn…🍁 (look at these luscious blackberries) 😊

Or are we?

With the weather changing and getting cooler, for many of us this means we may feel stiffer and our joints ache that little bit more.

Skippings ‘off’ then 😃

You’ve heard it from me before and you’ll hear it again.

This means you need to move and stretch a little more gently to start with, before you attempt the bigger stuff.

Whether that's in a Pilates class, gardening, dancing or skipping 😃what you love to do.

Remember - a sprinkling of TLC first.

🔥Pilates new term starts again on Monday 2nd September - you can be sure of plenty of TLC along with the work!🔥

Are you struggling with chronic pain?

😧😧It’s not just the actual pain that get’s you down, is it?

Chronic pain can cause mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as problems with memory, sleep, and mood. It also leads to physical problems like reduced mobility, muscle weakness, fatigue, and a weaker immune system, which together lower the quality of life.

And no prizes for guessing what’s great for chronic pain 🤣🤣

Here are 5 types of chronic pain Pilates can help you with ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ and when you come to my classes or work with me 1:2:1 I assess you for your capability.

✅ Back Pain: Pilates uses gentle exercises that stretch and strengthen your back, neck, and hips. This helps improve your posture and ease tension in your back muscles, reducing pain.

✅ Neck Pain: Pilates exercises stretch and lengthen neck muscles, helping to improve your posture and ease tension. Gentle head and eye movements during these exercises can also help reduce strain.

✅ Knee Pain: Pilates strengthens the muscles around your knees, providing better support and reducing pain. It also improves flexibility, taking pressure off your knees and easing discomfort.

✅ Hip Pain: Pilates strengthens the muscles around your hip joint, giving more support and reducing pain. Increasing flexibility in your hips and thighs also helps take pressure off your hips.

✅ Shoulder Pain: Pilates exercises strengthen the muscles around your shoulder joint, providing better support and reducing pain. Improved flexibility in your shoulders and arms helps relieve pressure and strain.

You don’t have to put up with pain or emotional stress - my Pilates classes are fun and will help you get your life back.

Result!
