Mat ✨ Reformer ✨ Together

Pilates isn’t about choosing sides — it’s about synergy 🤍
Mat Pilates builds deep core strength, control, and body awareness using just you and the floor. Reformer Pilates adds supportive resistance, variety, and challenge through the springs and movement of the machine.
When they work together, magic happens

✨
• Mat sharpens technique and connection
• Reformer enhances strength, mobility, and flow
• Both improve posture, balance, and confidence
• Each makes the other even better

Different tools. Same principles. One strong, balanced body 💫

There’s no “better” — just what supports you best. And sometimes, that’s a little bit of both.

What we got up to this week 👇
VARIATIONS OF CAT 😺
You might not be familiar with these variations — the original Cat movement doesn’t always give you the optimal range of motion.
By adding a little more restriction and tone, we can change the movement to include asymmetrical patterns, an emphasis on ground reaction force, and a flowing, rotational moment.
The result?
✨ More fluidity
✨ More stretch
✨ More mobility
Small changes. Big movement benefits.
❤️
PILATES SWIMMING — WITH AN ASTON PARADIGM LENS 🌊
Classic Pilates Swimming is all about extension and coordination.
But when we apply the Aston Paradigm, the movement
evolves.

Instead of rigid, symmetrical lifting, we introduce:
• Asymmetry and spirals through the body
• Ground reaction force to create lift rather than force it
• A sense of yield, push, and reach to support fluid motion

✨ More flow
✨ More mobility
✨ More intelligent strength

Swimming becomes less about holding…
and more about moving well.

❤️
Pilates Spine Reach — through the Aston Paradigm 🌿
Spine Reach becomes less about stretching to an end range and more about yielding, spiraling, and organizing from the ground up.
By allowing asymmetry, weight shift, and subtle rotation, the spine decompresses naturally and the movement feels fluid rather than forced.
✨ More ease
✨ More mobility
✨ Smarter spinal movement

As long as you know how to organise with control, you don't have to sucomb to rigid forms of movement.

Movement is medicine

As the year winds down, I’ll soon be taking a little festive break 🎄✨

I’m so proud and grateful for the progress every single one of you has made this year 🤍

Remember, it’s not about who can do the hardest movement — that’s not what creates an experienced student. An experienced student knows how to adapt, how to listen to their body, and how to move with awareness and good form.

Using props isn’t cheating 🎁 — it’s smart movement. Not every exercise suits everybody, and props help make the movement work for us.

Thank you for showing up, learning, and moving with intention. Wishing you rest, joy, and a little festive magic ✨💫

I’ve been a little quiet on here lately — life has been busy in the best way. I squeezed in a holiday, moved house, and in the weeks leading up to it all I was up at 5am most mornings working on my portfolio while training as a Reformers Pilates teacher. Lots happening… but all good things. ✨

I filmed this little moment because mornings like this fill my soul. Sunshine, stillness, and a beautiful start at Old Park Farm. 🌞🌾
