✨ Hello from Lucy Purrier Physio Pilates ✨

I’ve been a little quiet on here recently… but that’s because I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring you something new and exciting! 💻🧘‍♀️

Back in 2013, I started with a paper diary — writing out every class by hand each week. Last year, with over 100 lovely clients and dozens of weekly swaps, I upgraded to a digital spreadsheet. Better… but still very time-consuming!

Now I’m thrilled to say that online booking is live thanks to ClassSwap 🎉

You can now:
✅ Book pay-as-you-go single Pilates classes
✅ Book the rest of term easily
✅ Swap classes yourself — up to 12 hours before the start time

It’s simple, flexible and designed to make things easier for all of us 🙌

Thank you for bearing with me during this transition — and here’s to a smoother way to stay strong, mobile and connected 💛

Thank you to my photographic stars in this class and for the great photo 💛

💬 “I would recommend Lucy’s Pilates classes as very good rehabilitation after back surgery. I joined 4 months post-surgery, 3 years ago and am still attending. I’ve had excellent attention to help me recover, stay mobile and return to work in the NHS. Lucy personalises the exercises, answers queries and takes care of you. The classes are also fun and meeting each week builds friendships.” Thank you Helen, nurse, NHS.

🧡 Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing back pain, or just want to move more freely, my physiotherapist-led Pilates classes are tailored to support you.

Pilates Social Success at The Bricklayers!
What a lovely afternoon we had for our recent end of term Pilates social at The Bricklayers in Ashley Cross! Over 20 of us gathered for drinks, snacks, and delicious lunches—with lots of happy chatter, laughter and of course plenty of talk about Pilates, movement and healthy living.

It’s so special to see friendships growing beyond the mat. Thank you to everyone who came and made it such a warm and joyful event.

No recent photo to share this time—as always, I’m respectful of privacy and some in this recent group had opted out of photos.

I’m excited to share that three more Pilates socials are planned for the summer term—one in Broadstone and two more in Ashley Cross. More details coming soon to those in my Pilates community.

Smile Through Pilates – A Special Thank You to Ann

Did you know that smiling during Pilates can enhance your practice? A simple smile can relax facial tension, reduce stress, and create a positive connection between mind and body. At Lucy Purrier Physio Pilates, I love to bring joy to movement, and today, I want to share a special moment of gratitude.

A big thank you to Ann, one of my lovely clients, for sharing a wonderful Spike Milligan poem with me. Just like Pilates, poetry has a way of lifting the spirit and bringing people together. It’s little moments like these that make our classes so special!

So, let’s keep smiling—through movement, through laughter, and through the joy of being together.
