“Some instructors are worried where the industry is heading…”

I’m one of those instructors.

Pilates was never about performance, twin-set athleisure wear, branded grippy socks and selfies in front of curvy mirrors.

On an almost weekly basis I receive emails from newly qualified instructors who’ve recently ‘quit their corporate job to follow their passion and be a Pilates teacher.’ I admire their passion. But I also I politely let them know Move Well probably isn’t the right fit for them, and wish them all the best on their journey.

Because passion doesn’t equal real-life knowledge. Learning exercises doesn’t equal understanding how to see bodies. Textbooks don’t teach about pathologies, pain, life stages, nervous system regulation, injury management, holding space for whatever people bring, wherever stage of life they are at.

Teachers are made in the studio. It takes many years, many bodies, many personal injuries, many life experiences and many trainings to really understand safe and efficient movement on all bodies. And practicing teaching to fellow Pilates students on your course just doesn’t cut it.

Before ‘the boom’ new teachers were taken on as apprentices. They had to earn their stripes by observing many hours of live classes in studio, do menial tasks like cleaning reformers, work on their own practice as a perk and privilege whenever time allowed.

But with demand comes sh*tty short cuts, and that’s where the industry seems to find itself.

It saddens me when I have to explain to people why Move Well isn’t about bum sculpting or fancy choreography. It saddens me when visitors tell me after class, ‘it didn’t feel very hard’, with disappointment in their voice. It saddens me that people expect burn and shred on the reformer. That’s not what they get at Move Well.

I’m grateful to have my regulars who really get it. 💖 I’m grateful to be able to help people move better and feel better, without the need to punish their body or look a certain way.

I’ll continue to show up for my amazing movers, wherever the industry ends up.

What a superstar is. Not only did she absolutely smash the , she also raised a bucketload of money for the incredible Martin House Children’s Hospice .

Just 5 years ago Vicky felt hopeless, frustrated with her body, and like her core would never recover from the birth of her twins.

She joined our weekly Core & More class and committed to healing her diastasis-recti and recovering from her twin pregnancy.

Her patience, hard work and presence have really paid off.

Vicky and her incredible colleagues show up week after week on zoom to do Pilates with me, and every one of them is a master mover. Strong, mobile, stable, focused and respectful of their body’s capabilities, they are a pleasure to teach.

Our next pregnancy yoga course starts on Tuesday 5 May at Move Well Studio, Pure Treatment Rooms in the heart of Wetherby.

Our pregnancy yoga classes are the ideal way to connect to your changing body and your growing baby.

Suitable from first scan to birth date, the classes focuses on building strength, supporting your pelvic floor and ensuring your core stays strong and supportive as you move through pregnancy and beyond.

We allow plenty of time for relaxed, informal chat so you can share experiences in a safe, non-judgemental space as you get to know other expectant mums from the area.

Each class includes guided breathing practices to help ease away anxiety, reduce stress and prepare your body and mind for birth.

We finish every class with a guided relaxation to help you melt away stress and get the best night’s sleep imaginable.

Just 8 spaces available so be sure to book your spot today at www.movewellstudio.co.uk

Nervous about trying reformer Pilates?

Intimidated by the scary looking equipment?

Maybe you’ve heard the hype and know Pilates could be really beneficial, but you’re worried you won’t be able to do it.

It’s no fun being the new kid, but I want to reassure you there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

We offer small group classes that are suitable for all bodies, regardless of age, gender, size and ability.

We all started somewhere. The hardest step is walking into the studio.

But once you've done that, you will see that we are a friendly bunch, and you'll be made very welcoming. Everyone in the class was a beginner at some point, and everyone knows how it feels to pluck up the courage to attend their first class.

It’s okay to be tucked in the corner of the room, where nobody (except me!) can see you.

It’s okay to just stop and watch an exercise for a while, then join in when you feel ready.

It’s okay to slow down an exercise, modify it, speak up if something doesn’t feel right, ask questions, laugh at yourself.

You’ll be encouraged to listen to your body, and to work with it in a way that feels nourishing and delicious. We absolutely don’t subscribe to the ‘no pain no gain’ model, in fact we couldn’t be further from that ethos.

The exercises are controlled, gentle, sometimes a little spicy, but absolutely accessible. They will help you improve your posture, untangle stiffness, access muscles you didn’t even know you had (in the best possible way), and leaving you feeling longer, lighter and more in tune with your body.

Many of our incredible movers are managing an injury, so you will be supported to find the most efficient way to move, and to give your body the best possible chance of recovery.

If this sounds like your sort of space, we would love to welcome you to Move Well Studio.

We offer Reformer Pilates classes 5 days a week, as well as Mat Pilates, yoga and core-rehab based classes and courses. We also offer classes for pregnancy, and for mums with new babies.

🌟 If you’re new to Move Well, you can take advantage of our 3-class intro offer for just £28. The offer is for any class on our schedule, so you can mix and match and find the right fit. 🌟

We can’t wait to help you to move well and feel better.��Louisa ��👩‍💻 www.movewellstudio.co.uk�📧 louisa@movewellstudio.co.uk

✨ Are you ready to move beyond “squeeze and engage.” ✨

1 in 3 women struggles with pelvic floor issues… yet most of the time, we’re still taught to spot-treat symptoms instead of understanding what’s really going on.

This practical, movement-based workshop is for yoga and Pilates teachers, fitness instructors, and hands-on therapists who want to go deeper — to help clients move, feel and heal in a truly connected way. 💫

We’ll explore:

🌿 Why prolapse, diastasis, incontinence and pelvic pain really happen

💨 How breath can either help or hinder recovery

🦶 How feet, posture and alignment affect the pelvic floor

💬 Why “engage your abs” might be doing more harm than good (and what to say instead!)

We won’t be ticking off exercises from a list. Instead we will be learning how to read the body, feel the connections, and teach movement that actually changes symptoms.

You’ll walk away feeling confident, informed and embodied — ready to support clients (and yourself!) with more awareness and ease.

🔥 Spaces are limited — don’t get left behind using outdated cues.
