🧗‍♂️

Sunday reset = climbing wall adventure with friends 🧗‍♀️💪

I tried climbing in my teens/20s but never had the strength (or the stomach for heights 😅).

Fast forward 30+ years and thanks to Pilates, I’ve built the strength, stability, and mobility I need to give climbing another go.

What I love is how the two complement each other:

✨ Pilates mobility → helps me move better through complex climbing routes.

✨ Climbing strength → carries back into my Pilates practice (and even makes desk time more comfortable!).

If you’re curious about how Pilates can support YOU in everyday life (whether it’s sports, hobbies, or just feeling stronger day to day), I’ve got a few drop-in spaces this week:

📅 Tuesday 5:30pm – Gentle Flow Pilates
📅 Tuesday 7pm – Mixed Ability Pilates
📅 Wednesday 8pm – Mixed Ability Foam Roller Pilates
📅 Saturday 9:15am – Gentle Flow Pilates

Email me if you’d like to book a spot — would love to see you on the mat! ✨

🌿 Self-Care Reminder 🌿

How has your weekend been?

Have you managed to carve out a little time just for you, as well as for everyone else in your life?

Mine has been a full one — catching up with relatives visiting from Wales, helping prepare my childhood home to sell, and of course, the usual weekend chores. Today also holds extra meaning as it marks 12 years since my Dad passed away, so finding a moment for myself felt especially important.

For me, that precious time came in the form of an early morning 1km swim at the local lido — 30 minutes to breathe, reflect, and remember. 💙

Self-care doesn’t always need to be big or elaborate. It could just as easily be 30 minutes with a book, or a gentle pilates session. The important thing is making space for you.

✨ How have you taken care of yourself this weekend? ✨

If your self-care therapy is Pilates and you haven’t booked a class this week, I have drop in spaces in the following classes:

Tuesday 5:30pm - Garden Studio
Gentle Flow Pilates

Saturday 8:00am - Garden Studio
Pilates 4 Back Care

I belive that movement is vital to wellbeing and pride myself in making sure I offer classes suitable for a mix of abilities.

I have been practicing Pilates for 17 years and became a qualified instructor in 2011. I am passionate about Pilates and would love to share my passion with you in one of my classes.

To My Summer Pilates Crew

Thank you for joining me, near and far,
Online this summer, you’ve all raised the bar.
You’ve moved, you’ve twisted, you’ve bent with grace,
Each roll-down, roll-up—a smile on your face.

You’ve plié’d and planked, perfected your pike,
Sworn at the screen (which I think you might like 😉)
You’ve talked back, you’ve laughed, you’ve shown up true—
Over fifty of you, my Pilates crew!

From home, from holidays, even from work,
You kept your bodies moving—no excuse to shirk.
As summer fades and the days turn new,
My online library grows with fresh moves to pursue.

Join me in person, or virtually still,
More classes, more options, more strength to build.
To grow more flexible, connect within,
A new season begins—let the movement begin!

🌟 Foam Roller Pilates 🌟

✨ Online – Anytime, Anywhere�Access 40+ Foam Roller classes PLUS over 200 Pilates, Barre & Relaxation sessions — perfect for building strength, easing tension, and fitting movement into your day, wherever you are.

✨ In Person – Wednesdays at 8pm

Join my Mixed Ability Foam Roller Pilates class this Autumn Term (now open to book!) 🍂 This class uses the roller to release tension, mobilise the spine, and build deep core strength. The shoulder release series is a must if you’re spending long hours at a desk — instant relief you’ll feel immediately! 💻✨

The roller also adds a gentle instability that challenges your core and upgrades classic mat work. You’ll leave feeling taller, stronger, and more open through your back and shoulders.
