Yesterday the door bell rang and I received this amazing bouquet of flowers from a client. Pilates is for everyone, gentle physio-led pilates can be just what you need after a long illness. The power of feeling movement and breathe is a gift I love to give.

In my physio-led reformer clinic I often see patients who have been injured using the reformer… more often than not by progressing too quickly to advanced moves. The strength in Pilates is found through learning to listen to your body and often through seemingly simple exercises on the reformer. Always look for a Pilates teacher who has trained with a recognised institute or even better, a physio with 25 years of Pilates experience 😁

The most common difficulty for those new to Pilates is understanding the breathing...I usually teach people that when you are learning the movements that the most inportant thing to do is just to breathe!
Once you are more familiar with the movements then the breathing suddenly starts to make sense. This is a great explanation..
