My little studio is in my garden and a couple of weeks ago my neighbour commented on how much laughter she hears. She said “I hear it and think “she must have the best job in the world”.

Hearing that made my week. 😊

If you want to join us for movement and community and often lots of laughter get in touch as a few spots have become available with people off on travels over summer.

I have classes suitable for people new to Pilates but in pretty good overall health, classes for those looking for a bigger challenge and more strength work and classes for those who want to take it really easy with some gentle movement and stretching.

Drop me a line to enquire. Small focused groups with tailored teaching. £78 for a block of six weeks.

I have had a last minute space come up in a class on Thursday morning at 10.30am. It is a much gentler, slower paced class and would suit someone older looking to loosen aches and pains and gain strength safely.

Please drop me a line if you’d like to join this lovely group.

It is a six week block for £78 in a small group of four or five.

Rise & Shine for Pilates 🌅

I’m debating starting another early morning class, 7am or 7.30am start, likely a Monday or Thursday. Would you like in?

My classes are very much “Pilates for Normal People” There is so much Pilates content about that’s all about the aesthetic and how people look but here we’re just helping people move better, stay fit through their aches and pains and relax in a small friendly group. I don’t take myself too seriously but I do want everybody that comes into my big Pilates shed to leave feeling better than when they arrived. That’s my only goal every day. If we learn something about ourselves and how we move all the better. If we learn something about someone else in the group brilliant. If we make someone smile or even laugh then big gold star. But this is relaxed, it’s fun, but it’s also personal, movement education and its community. It’s life.

Last class of the block for most groups next week and I have two spaces on a Wednesday evening at 5pm (the sunniest class of the week for the next couple of months, maybe even qualifies as “Hot Pilates”). If you’d like to nab a space in that one for the next six weeks just let m know.

I read about this on Andrew Huberman’s Instagram last week and have been doing it ever since. Four simple journal prompts to start the day.

I often think I’d like to journal more and go through fits and starts of doing something and nothing. But I can see this one lasting and possibly progressing.

Since starting it I am feeling like I’ve had a little win if the day’s plan is followed though (and I don’t overfill this I put down the basic outline of the day), I also feel like I’ve grown just in picking out something to watch out for and then it’s a prompt to myself to notice when that crops up (and I’m already noticing these things cropping up less as if by noting them first thing I’ve nipped it in the bud at the start of the day) and having something (small) to strive for I feel like I’m going above and beyond with what was just an easy win really.

I’d really recommend this practice and it takes me less than a minute each morning.

My husband, the great garage-tinkerer, has started a side hustle doing bike repairs. He is an absolute expert in anything with wheels, and machinery generally, plus bikes are his greatest love (maybe after his spaniel) so they’ll always be in safe hands. He can collect and drop off, so extra convenient if the bike isn’t useable.

Please like his page and if you need any bike work drop him a line.

Bicycle repairs at home or work in York and surrounding areas. Too busy during the day? Can’t get to the bike shop? Need a quick turnaround? Bikes collected and often repaired and returned in the same evening. Prices are low, no job too small.

Want to come and join our awesome gang in my little studio?

I have two spaces for the next six week block, 9am and 5pm Wednesday. Both would suit someone with experience or a beginner if they are without any major injuries.

Six week block starts 9th April (no class 16th April) and it’s £78 for the block.

Small, tailored, super friendly classes.

DM me if you have any questions or if you’d like a space and if you already come to a class please feel free to share this with your friends and help me fill the slots.

Fact. If you bring me homemade rhubarb crumble to class (or any other cake which she also does frequently) you’ll always be my favourite 😆

Monday morning people reminder. No classes today while I go for my knee scan.

If anybody knows they won’t be able to make their class this week please do let me know ASAP so that any spaces that come up can be offered to those who have missed today.

Thanks for your understanding you lovely people.

⭐️ Wednesday 5pm suitable for a beginner.

We have very small class sizes with just five, lovely, friendly people in each class and operate on a six week block with each block being £78

If you’d like to take a space please drop me a line.

How pretty does it look out there today. Studio all set for classes starting back tomorrow. However I am still somewhat incapacitated from my skiing accident.

Every class this week will be a gentle unwinding after the Christmas break. Unwinding body and mind, easing into the new year.

I’ll mostly be sitting on a chair and pointing and obviously smiling and encouraging too. 🪑 🦵 🩼

Not how I intended to start 2025. I bust my knee on the slopes yesterday.

Expect Pilates to be brought to you on crutches for the first week of the year at least.

I am absolutely gutted, I was having an awesome time just before I went down. Now just trying to find silver linings; absolute rest rather than exhausting myself, gorgeous views to feast my eyes on, being waited on, time to read.

I hope everybody else has had a better start to 2025.
