Millstream Pilates Body Control Pilates Classes in Benson + Dorchester On Thames

The Pilates method can work for everyone and for all fitness levels, whether you’re managing on-going spine and joint problems and taking your first steps to improving mobility, or you’re recovering from sports injuries and would like to use your body more effectively, minimalise injury and strengthen the body to enhance performance. Or you're simply looking for an effective way to exercise, strengthen the core muscles of the body and improve your posture.

A couple of weekend ago I had the absolute joy and privilege of being a part of a group of amazing women, learning from each other and sharing as the amazing took us through the complete Cadillac course.

One of the best learning experiences I’ve had ❤️ thank you ladies!

Can’t wait to share the Tower joy with all my clients!!

Never tried it!?! Only ever tried the reformer ?? I’ll let you into a little secret…. I think it’s better than the reformer!!

More freedom of planes, more creativity, more control required… more range more stretch!

Come and have a play!

Just trying to work out my feelings toward this!

Initially insulated that Aldi feel that such a comprehensive piece of equipment can be done justice at this level of manufacturing. Not to even head down the road of discussing the safety aspects involved!

Dismay that they think it’s possible for consumers to be able to ‘coach’ theirselves at a level that creates sustainable and lasting benefits that will keep them using this for more than 5 minutes.

And then I realised, that’s it!!

People - Aldi are taking advantage of your ‘quick fix’ dopamine hits!!!

Don’t be duped by them or line their pockets!!

You CAN NOT ‘effectively’ teach your self Reformer.
But you can get a ‘quick fix’ injure yourself either because you have no idea what you’re doing or the equipment is so poorly manufactured as you’re banging your body weight against it again and again.

I’ve been qualified for 4 years and I’m still learning and going on courses. And that’s after 13 years of teaching Pilates.

Don’t be fooled by quick fix cheap crap… it’s just there to fill a 5 minute consumer phase and line the pockets of without your well being in mind.

THIS IS NOT REFORMER PILATES 😘

Of all the countries I’ve travelled to, England has the best sunsets! Well, maybe Ibiza will rival it 🤣

In our beautiful venue in Benson, we get to watch it and feel its energy as we move. Or maybe it’s a great distraction from thigh stretch!

No more lights on until October!

Exciting news for Pilates in Dorchester from January!

We have a new venue for Millstream Pilates Clients.... I'm very excited to share that we'll be moving to The Snug Barn at Bishops Court Farm! Bishop's Court Farm

Current classes run on a Wednesday at 17:30.
As this class is always full, with a waiting list, I'm delighted to announce we'll be setting up an additional class at 18:40.

It's already half full, please let me know if you'd like a space? It will start from January as a beginners class. No 121 induction required unless you'd like one.

I'm sure most of you know the farm with the Alpaca's and Alapcino who loves a cuddle?!

Keith's newly converted barn has underfloor heating, air conditioning all of which are ground sourced.

There are some great Jazz nights hosted here already!

The wonderful Snug Cafe will be providing a cash honours drinks bar for us too.

It’s not often I blow my own trumpet but this made me super proud today, not just of the work I do but of the clients I work with…. I took a punt on my 93 year old being ‘worthy’ of a hip replacement.

Knowing I could be risking my integrity with the surgeon due to his age.

But Mikes options were ‘life shortened due to immobility and reduced quality of life’ or ‘risk surgery and prepare as well as possible’

We took the 2nd option…. ❤️ and so did his surgeon!

No one should be judged by their age.

Today we meet again, 11 weeks post surgery and now our next journey begins post op recovery!

Wait for the next vid…. He’ll blow your mind!

Thanks and Kyle Blackburn!
