Weโ€™ve been teaching balance in classes for decades.
Not circus tricks ๐ŸŽช
Real, practical, usable balance for everyday life.
The kind that helps you step confidently off a kerb, walk uneven paths, climb stairs, react quickly, stay steady, and keep doing the things you love for longer.
Today was no exception.
30 minutes of standing balance and strength work. No equipment. Nothing fancy. Just everything simple enough to practise at home.
But alongside the movements comes the โ€˜whyโ€™ ๐Ÿค”
The anatomy behind it.
How balance is influenced by strength, coordination, vision, reaction time and confidence.
How disruptors work.
Why the hips matter. Why the feet matter. Why we need to challenge the system in order to maintain it.
Because balance isnโ€™t something we either have or donโ€™t have.
Itโ€™s something we practise, or gradually lose ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
But the good news? The body responds incredibly well when we give it the right input.

So book your FREE taster class at Gresford Trust Memorial Hall, and see what a difference it can make ๐Ÿ‘

Such a fabulous night listening to Wrexham AFC CEO, Michael Williamson speak about the โ€˜Wrexham Storyโ€™.

The journey so far, the plans fit the future and the building of the community that reaches far beyond the football.
It was funny and a little emotional at times too.
Looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.

And with the lighter mornings and longer evenings, itโ€™s the perfect time to get outside a little more.
Walking and Pilates work beautifully together - strength, mobility and balance all coming together.
Iโ€™m out most days with the Pilates pup, so if youโ€™re nearby and would like to join me, youโ€™d be very welcome ๐Ÿถ
Or feel free to join me for a walk in the mountains (with optional swim) one weekend

In anticipation of the of lashing rain that was promised (which happened all night), the pup and I headed out super early for a good walk and swim.
Now itโ€™s glorious ๐ŸŒ, so weโ€™re chilling with copious amounts of tea โ˜•๏ธ
Weโ€™ll head out again tonight when it gets quieter again

And for me, itโ€™s never really been about Pilates for Pilatesโ€™ sake.
Itโ€™s about what it allows you to do beyond the studio.
For me, like today, thatโ€™s climbing mountains with the Pilates Pup, finding lakes and waterfalls tucked away off the path โ›ฐ๏ธ
Scrambling, clambering, stepping over rocks, balancing on uneven ground.
Not thinking twice about whether my body can manage it.
Thatโ€™s the work.
Not perfect exercises. Not chasing a shape. Not spicy. Not burn.
But building a body thatโ€™s strong, responsive, and capable.
Pilates gives you that;
๐Ÿ’ช The strength to pull yourself up.
๐Ÿ’ช The control to step down safely.
๐Ÿ’ช The balance when the ground isnโ€™t steady.
๐Ÿ’ช The awareness to move well when it matters.
So today isnโ€™t about celebrating Pilates as a method.
Itโ€™s about celebrating what it gives you the freedom to do.

What does Pilates allow you to enjoy in life?
