✨Just a little reminder: As the colder days are drawing in, remember to bring a comfy blanket with to classes if you feel you need one. The heating will always be on to keep the halls cosy but it’s always a good idea to keep extra warm especially for ease of movement. ✨

❓“Are you breathing?”❓
It’s a question I ask in most of my sessions… and it’s usually followed by a few scattered giggles and a “nope!”

When it comes to Pilates breathing techniques, I’ll admit I’m pretty relaxed about it. If you’re finding it tricky to focus on your thoracic breathing and your movements at the same time — that’s okay with me! It takes some practice to really be at one with it so do not worry ✨

But since I’ve caught you mid-scroll (and possibly checking whether you’re breathing 😆), let’s take a moment to practice some thoracic breathing together ⬇️

You can stay seated or lie down on your back for this one.

✅ Prepare: Place your hands across your lower ribs to help you visualise the movement.

↔️ Inhale through your nose, imagining your ribs expanding outwards like an umbrella opening. ☂️
If you feel your chest puffing up like a pigeon 🐦, try again — this time, think about your breath expanding your ribcage sideways and backwards, rather than lifting the chest forward.

🌬️ Exhale through your mouth, gently drawing your centre inwards as you breathe out. This helps activate your deep core and prepares your body for movement.

And… repeat!

✨Those little breathing cues aren’t just there to keep you from turning blue — they actually help you engage your muscles more effectively and build that magical mind–body connection that makes every movement feel smoother, stronger, and more intentional 💜✨

If you ever need more clarity with your breathing during classes, don’t hesitate to let me know- I am always happy to help!

If Your Hip Clicks — Don’t Panic ⬇️

If your hip “clicks” or “cracks” when you move, you’re definitely not alone. Mine has done it for as long as I can remember! It doesn’t hurt, but it still takes me by surprise sometimes.

Here’s the thing — a clicking hip isn’t usually something to worry about if there’s no pain, swelling, or loss of movement following said click. It’s often just your body’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m moving in a slightly tight or misaligned way.”

✨ Common causes of a clicking hip:
• Tight hip flexors (often the case with desk workers)
• A tight IT band rubbing over the hip bone (sounds soooo painful but isn’t always the case!)
• Weak glutes or deep core muscles that don’t stabilize the joint quite as well as they should.
• Sometimes, it’s just the shape of your hip joint or a harmless tendon crossover.

✅ How you can help:
• Add gentle hip mobility work — think hip circles, 90/90 transitions, or controlled leg swings which will help to gently strengthen the muscles surrounding your hips.
• Stretch your hip flexors and glutes regularly- both stretching and strengthening play an important role in this!
• Trying to move around more if you find yourself sat for a long portion of the day- if you can!

If your hip doesn’t hurt, it’s generally fine — just a quirky (and snappy) reminder to keep your hips mobile and strong. But if it ever becomes painful, catches, or swells up, it’s worth getting checked by a physio.

Your body’s little “clicks” are often just cues for better movement — not red flags 🚩
