Online Pilates Every Monday at 6pm

If your body feels tight from sitting all day, this is for you.

We focus on simple, controlled movements. Core strength. Better posture. Gentle mobility. Nothing extreme. Just steady, effective work that helps you feel stronger and more supported in your body.

You can join from home. No pressure. No mirrors. No rushing out the door.

All levels welcome. You move at your own pace.

If you’ve been saying, “I should do something for myself,” this is your reminder.

Move to Mend is a gentle, progressive 6-week Chair Pilates block designed for the next 6 weeks to improve spinal mobility, strength, posture, and confidence in everyday movement.

Using slow, mindful movement and supported exercises, we’ll explore how your spine moves, how it supports you day to day, and how to help it feel more comfortable, strong, and resilient. This block is ideal if you experience stiffness, poor posture, back discomfort, or simply want to move with more ease and confidence.

Each week builds carefully on the last, allowing your body time to adapt while developing awareness, mobility, stability, and functional strength.

Weekly focus:

Week 1 – Posture & Self-Awareness
We begin by exploring posture, alignment, and awareness. Learn how your spine sits, moves, and supports you, laying the foundation for the weeks ahead.

Week 2 – Supple Spine (Mobility)
Gentle spinal mobility to encourage fluid movement, reduce stiffness, and help your spine feel more free and relaxed.

Week 3 – Stretchy Spine
Focused stretching to create space through the spine, improve flexibility, and release tension in a safe, supported way.

Week 4 – Strong Spine (Stability)
We introduce gentle strengthening and stability work to support your spine, improve posture, and build confidence in movement.

Week 5 – Spine Shine in Daily Living
Connecting what we’ve learned to everyday life, sitting, standing, reaching, walking, and moving with greater ease and control.

Week 6 – The Ultimate Spine Shine Combo
A feel-good session bringing mobility, stretch, strength, and functional movement together, celebrating how far your spine has come.

✔ Suitable for beginners
✔ Chair-based and fully supported
✔ Encourages confidence, comfort, and control
✔ Move at your own pace

Come and give your spine the care it deserves and let it shine.
Please feel free to join one of our classes; you don't need to book the full 6 weeks.

Push your heels into the floor and tighten your glutes and abdominal muscles as you lift your hips off the floor. Wow, what an amazing feeling.

Never underestimate the glute bridge! It's brilliant for the butt muscles.

If you’re waiting for the "perfect" time to start Pilates, or thinking your body has reached its "expiration date" for movement, this is your sign to roll out the mat.

The truth? Your body doesn't care if you're 25 or 75. It just wants to move! Whether you’re looking to get off the sofa with more ease, or you want to feel a bit more "knit together" in your core, Pilates meets you exactly where you are today.

Join us on one of our classes, Bolton-based.

Real Bodies Pilates is not about chasing exhaustion.
It’s about building understanding.

It’s for you if:

• You’re tired of workouts that feel chaotic
• You want to know why you’re doing each movement
• You care more about quality than intensity
• You want to be challenged, but not shamed
• You want foundations that actually make you stronger

This is where we slow down.
This is where we learn the principles.
This is where the basics become powerful.

Because strong bodies aren’t built on random exercises.
They’re built on solid foundations.

If you’ve ever felt out of place in traditional fitness spaces, this might be your room.

Comment “REAL” if this sounds like you and I’ll send you the details.

Simple but very effective if you are carrying a lot of tension in your neck!

All you have to do is:

Sit Tall: Drop your shoulders away from your ears.
The Tilt: Gently lower your right ear toward your right shoulder.
Add Weight: For a deeper release, place your right hand lightly on top of your head (don't pull!).
Reach: Extend your left arm toward the floor to feel the line of tension melt away.

Leanne Tip: Keep your jaw relaxed! Clenching makes the stretch less effective. Hold your tongue at the roof of your mouth. (Just try not to talk, or you will sound hilarious) ha ha

Hope this helps.

Box breath is amazing. Try this a few times when you notice stress, or when your body just isn't feeling quite itself, it's soooo good!

Here's how to do it:

1. Sit comfortably: You can sit in a chair or on the floor. Just make sure your back is straight.
2. Exhale completely: Let all the air out of your lungs.
3. Inhale slowly: Breathe in through your nose for a count of 4. Focus on filling your belly with air.
4. Hold your breath: Hold your breath for a count of 4.
5. Exhale slowly: Breathe out through your mouth for a count of 4.
6. Hold your breath again: Hold your breath for a count of 4.
7. Repeat: Do this for a few minutes.

This breathing technique helps calm your nervous system. When you're stressed, your breathing becomes shallow and rapid. The box breath slows down your breathing, which signals to your brain that you're safe and relaxed.

Save this for when you need it, it feels amazing.
