I teach Pilates classes in person and on line in a variety of locations across Edinburgh and have opened my own studio at New Swanston for 1:1 for mat-based therapy classes using a range of different equipment, including pilates toning rings, stability rollers, flexi-bands, weights and chi balls. Classes are also available using the Pilates Reformer, Pilates Chair and sone corrector which complements and enhances mat-based work and increases flexiblity, tone and strength to create a long and supple body.

Lifting weights is one of the best ways for us to preserve muscle mass.
We can strengthen our joints and promote better bone health.
The more lean muscle we have the faster the rate at which we burn calories.
Start with lighter weights with 10-15 reps ,2-3 sets with a 60 second rest between sets. Then gradually increase the intensity by 1/2 kg perhaps reducing the initial number of reps at first.
Feeling strong makes us feel confident 🏋️‍♂️

Morning Stiffness ?🫩

I have found hanging from a ‘push up’ bar is helpful for alleviating stiffness in my lower back.
I find it helps to stretch and decompress my spine creating space between the vertebrae whilst also maintaining height!

Try touching your toes before and after 😊

Bone Health is essential for women’s health. According to the Royal Osteoporosis Society one in two women over 50 are at risk of a bone fracture. In the first 5 years following menopause we can lose up to 20% of our bone density.
However there is a lot we can do to protect our bones in terms of strength training, nutrition, sleep health and managing our stress!

I am hoping to organise a charity event raising funds for the ROS in the near future.

Pilates Prop Survey

30 questionnaires were issued to my class members.
They were asked to rate their preferences and the effectiveness for using 8 different props we regularly use in our Pilates sessions. They were also asked to identify their exercise focus and goals. Note the correlation between prop preference, exercise focus and goals.
From the results it is clear members value the importance of core strength and strength training.
Strength has an impact on both 'balance' and 'posture'. We now recognise the importance of maintaining muscle strength and muscle mass as part of aging well.
However both mobility and flexibility are also key aspects, helping one to perform everyday activities of daily life as we get older.

I now aim to use the results of this survey to inform my teaching and practice.
