Your Time Pilates, London (2026)

Will you just look at this 😭
One of my PCRM students sent me this earlier…
Her sister is going in for a hysterectomy this week.
So she’s taken what she’s learned inside PCRM
adapted it
and put together both prehab and rehab support for her.
Real person. Real situation. Not a textbook case.
(FYI 'Berating' is actually Better Breathing and 'PFFLF' stands for Pelvic Floor For Life Framework - both advanced education modules)
But what got me…
was seeing the templates I created being used like this.
Not starting from scratch
Not getting stuck on decision overwhelm
Just:
👉 take it
👉 tweak it
👉 make it your own
👉 and actually help someone
THAT is what I’m talking about.
This is what happens when you stop just learning
and actually start applying it.
Spring cohort for PCRM closes today.

This nearly made me p**s myself with excitement!
Just had to share this with you!
Angela just said to me:
“I actually feel like a specialist now… not just someone with a Level 3.”
And if you’d heard her when she first started…
She was:
• overwhelmed, juggling kids and working 4 days a week in another job
• trying to build her Pilates business on the side
• constantly second guessing herself
• comparing herself to other instructors online
• wanting to specialise in postnatal but not feeling confident enough to actually own it
She knew she wanted this to be her thing…
but didn’t fully trust herself yet.
Now?
She has:
• a clear postnatal niche
• the knowledge to actually assess and support real clients
• structure to follow instead of guessing
• and most importantly… she actually feels like she knows what she’s doing
That shift from:
👉 “I think I know this…”
to
👉 “I actually understand this”
is EVERYTHING.
Because that’s the difference between:
• holding back
• undercharging
• staying in mixed classes
and actually stepping into being the person women go to.
THIS. THIS PEOPLE IS WHY I GET OUT OF BED EVERY DAY.
To make life-changing changes to the women in my world –
whether you’re a mum rebuilding strength after birth…
or an instructor who’s done the training but still doesn’t fully trust herself yet.
Because you deserve to feel like you actually know what you’re doing.
Can we give Angela a massive high five please 🙌
And be honest…
Are you feeling more ‘Angela BEFORE’ or ‘Angela AFTER’ right now?

I know a lot of you here are also on my email list…
And sometimes it’s just easier to have a conversation here than it is replying to an email.
So let’s do that this week.
I’m really curious where are you at right now with your postnatal teaching?
A - I’ve got the knowledge but I’m struggling to get clients / fill things
B - I’m doing bits but feel like I’m winging it and there are gaps
C - I’m mostly teaching general classes but starting to notice I need more postnatal-specific knowledge
D - I’m curious but not doing anything with it yet
No right answer — just interested to see where everyone’s at.

I don’t think I’ve actually said this properly yet…
I’m so fu***ng excited about this Spring round of PCRM.
Not just because of the people already in…
But because I’ve changed a few things that I wish I’d had when I started.
One thing that always p**sed me off about courses was:
You buy it
You start it
…and then quietly don’t finish it
Not because you don’t care
But because life gets busy
And no one is actually helping you apply it
So this round is different.
More support
More accountability
More “do the thing” energy
And (because it’s my birthday this week 🥳) I’ve added a 12-month payment option for the first time.
Which just makes it way more doable for a lot of people.
Anyway — I’m buzzing about it.
If you’re reading this thinking
“what actually is PCRM and why is she so hyped?”
Just drop me a message and I’ll talk you through it

Is it just me or does everything feel a bit fu***ng weird ATM and people are not doing things the way they used to?
Maybe it because the world feels like it’s on fire 🔥but what I’m noticing (with both mums and instructors) is people are thinking a lot longer and harder before investing in themselves or their business.
Which makes total sense. There’s so much uncertainty around everything.
But, I’m also still seeing lots of people feeling fed up, bored and frustrated with things staying the same.
So I’m curious…🧐
Where are you at right now when it comes to making moves in your business?
A. ❤ Parking it for now, it’s too overwhelming and I don’t like change
B. 💛Thinking about it but for later in the year
C. 💚Ready to shake some s**t up and just need the right thing to support me
Drop me a letter in the comments.
There’s not wrong answer, I’m just curious to see if it’s just me or you’re feeling the same too!

Quick question: when do your postnatal clients leak?
Is it when they're lying perfectly still on a mat doing textbook-perfect Kegels?

Or is it when they're sneezing at the school gate, catching a falling toddler, or lifting a buggy over a kerb?

Yeah. Thought so.

So why are we training pelvic floors like they only need to work in perfect conditions?

Here's what most postnatal training doesn't tell you:

Pelvic floor work isn't just about squeezing in isolation.

It's about load. Pressure. Real-life movement. The chaos of actually being a mum.

And if you're only teaching static holds and controlled breathing?

You're missing the entire point.

Mums need to be able to sneeze without thinking about it. They need to lift without crossing their fingers. They need to laugh without panic.

That requires a completely different approach to pelvic floor work.

Beyond Kegels will show you how to teach pelvic floor strength in context - not in a vacuum.

For £39, you'll understand:
- How load and pressure affect pelvic floor behaviour
- Why real-life movement changes everything
- How to teach pelvic floor work that actually transfers to daily life

No more lying still and squeezing.

Let's teach pelvic floors to work when it actually matters.

👉 Sign up for the workshop. https://yourtimepilates.thrivecart.com/beyond-kegels/

Your clients deserve better than theory that doesn't hold up in real life.

I’m VERY excited about this! 🔥
Beyond Kegels is officially live. WHOOP!
If you’ve ever:
• Felt that 🤢 panic when a client mentions leaking
• Thought “is this weak… or tight?”
• Defaulted to “squeeze and lift” and hoped for the best 🤞
• Wondered if you’re helping… or quietly making it worse
This is for you.
This isn’t another free workshop that points out everything you’re doing wrong and then vanishes unless you remortgage your house.
It’s 60 minutes.
It’s practical.
It’s £39.
And you’ll leave actually understanding what you’re looking at when it comes to pelvic floors.
Inside we’ll cover:
- Hypotonic vs hypertonic presentations (how they show up in real clients)
- Why leakage doesn’t automatically mean weakness
- What to cue instead of endless Kegels
- How to teach pelvic floor work inside your normal classes
- When to refer – without spiralling
🗓 12th March – 11am UK
🎥 Replay available
📜 CPD training

Most pre & postnatal qualifications are a bit sheeet.
Let me tell you what's wrong with most of them.

They’re built for everyone.
Yoga teachers.
PTs.
Fitness instructors.
Group exercise coaches.
Zumba teachers.

And somewhere in there… oh yeah. Pilates instructors too.
Which means you spend half the bloody course translating.
“Don’t do sit-ups.”
– Ok… but what about Roll Up?
– Is Chest Lift the same?
– Why are we talking about deadlifts? I don’t even own a barbell.

It’s like learning French from a textbook written for Spanish speakers. Technically possible. Completely exhausting.

So we did something about it.
Lara and I built a Level 3 Pre & Postnatal Qualification designed specifically for Pilates instructors.
No translation required.
No generic fitness waffle.
No “movement professional” vagueness.

Just Pilates.
For Pilates teachers.
Teaching Pilates.

Here’s who’s behind it:
Lara – prenatal specialist, qualification lead, yoga teacher, massage therapist, Pilates instructor. Total anatomy geek. Handles the educational design, assessment and accreditation side (because she is brilliantly organised and I am… not).

Me – postnatal specialist. Creator of the Postnatal Core Rehab Method. Mum via IVF and two C-sections. I teach postnatal clients every single week. I care about what works in real life, not what looks pretty on Instagram.

Together, we built this to:
✓ Speak your language – Pilates repertoire, Pilates framework, Pilates context
✓ Combine proper education with real human support
✓ Give you insurance coverage and foundational confidence
✓ Set you up for deeper specialisation if – and only if – you want it

This qualification is designed to prepare you to teach straightforward prenatal and postnatal clients well – and to know exactly where your scope begins and ends.

It’s not a tick-box CPD.
It’s not corporate.
It’s not a portal you’re left alone with.
It’s two practising instructors teaching you what we actually do.

Options:
Self-Study – £297 early bird
Supported – £597 early bird (includes in-person workshops + real-life teaching practice)
Early bird ends Friday 13th at 10am.

After that it goes up by £200.
The course isn’t disappearing.
But the lower price is.

If you’ve been waiting for something that actually feels built for Pilates instructors – not generic, not “close enough” – this is it.
Drop “PPN” below and I’ll send you the details Or check them out here.👇
