💪 Adding a Little Weight to Your Pilates Practice

We’ve been using weights in class this week — I often love using the weighted balls, but the dumbbells have worked so well!

In Pilates, we don’t need to go heavy — even a small amount of resistance (around 1–1.5 kg) can make a big difference. It helps to:
✨ Build strength and tone through the arms and shoulders
✨ Add challenge to the core and stability work
✨ Improve bone health and muscle endurance
✨ Bring a little variety and freshness to familiar movements

It’s amazing how a light weight can completely change how an exercise feels — encouraging control, awareness, and deeper engagement without losing that mindful Pilates flow.

Small Steps, Big Change 🧘‍♀️💪

After 15 years of teaching yoga & Pilates, one truth stands out: transformation doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from showing up.

It’s not about intensity; it’s about consistency.
Even 10 minutes a day can create lasting change in your body and mind.

✨ Start small
🧘‍♂️ Link practice to daily habits
📅 Celebrate showing up

Progress lives in the quiet commitment you make to yourself.
Start today — one breath, one stretch, one step at a time.

🧘‍♀️ Is Yoga Dead?

I read a comment today that said “Yoga is dead.”
I have to admit, it made me pause.

Yoga has been around for thousands of years — some say between two and five thousand and I think it’s safe to say it’s going to outlive a lot of things (including most of our modern fitness trends!).

That said, it’s interesting how the focus shifts over time. Pilates, especially Reformer, is definitely having a big moment right now. My own business has naturally become more Pilates-heavy, not through intention, but simply through where the demand has been.

But yoga? Yoga still has a deep and important place in our world. It’s the practice that connects us back to ourselves — body, mind, and breath.

So, I’m curious… what’s your preference — yoga or Pilates? And do you think yoga is really “dead”?

🧘‍♀️ Join me tonight for both:
✨ Yoga — a grounding, mindful flow to help you unwind
💪 Pilates — to build strength and stability from the inside out

There are spaces available in both classes tonight — I’d love to see you there! 💫

✨ Back Health & Strength Guide ✨

Back discomfort is something most of us will face — but it doesn’t have to stick around. These 3 simple exercises can help you build strength, support your spine, and improve your posture — all from the comfort of home.

💥 1. Spine Curl / Bridge
✔️ Mobilises the spine
✔️ Strengthens glutes & hamstrings
🧠 Tip: Move slowly and keep the ribs soft. Focus on control, not height.

💥 2. Bird Dog
✔️ Builds spinal stability
✔️ Engages deep core and back muscles
🧠 Tip: Imagine balancing a glass of water on your back — smooth and steady wins.

💥 3. Prone Back Extension (Cobra Lift)
✔️ Strengthens spinal extensors
✔️ Opens up the chest
🧠 Tip: Think about length, not height. Keep your shoulders relaxed and spine long.

Why These Moves Matter:
They target mobility, stability, and strength — the essential trio for a healthier back. Especially in a world of sitting, lifting, and screen time, this balance is key.

✨ Simple doesn’t mean ineffective. Done consistently, these exercises can make a real difference in how your back feels — and how you move through daily life.

💬 Add them to your weekly routine — your spine will thank you!

🙌 Life can be loud. 🙌

Distractions, decisions, and endless to-do lists can leave the mind feeling cluttered — making it harder to focus, stay calm, or even get a good night’s sleep.

One of the most powerful tools I’ve found — both personally and through teaching — is yoga.

While many people think of yoga as purely physical, it’s also a mental reset. It’s a way to create space in the mind — to breathe, to pause, and to return to clarity.

Over the years, I’ve seen how stepping onto the mat regularly helps people feel not just stronger and more flexible, but also clearer, calmer, and more capable of navigating life’s everyday challenges.

🧘‍♀️ The mat isn’t just a place to stretch — it’s a place to come home to yourself.
