Move freely and with confidence.

This week we’re focusing on balance through lots of unpredictable movement. The goal is to help us navigate unstable surfaces and improve reaction time—so we’re better prepared to catch ourselves if we stumble or fall.
Balance is essential. As we balance, we’re constantly shifting and readjusting our body weight. Stillness isn’t the goal—adaptability is.

I found Pilates at 14 because of a lower back condition.
Someone handed me the Michael King Pilates book — and it changed everything.

That book travelled the world with me when I toured with Holiday on Ice.

Pilates didn’t just support my career… it kept me pain free.
As I began studying movement more deeply, I realised something important:

➡️ Strength alone isn’t enough
➡️ We need flexible strength
➡️ Strength in all pathways of movement

That curiosity took me to Lake Tahoe, USA, where I learned how to work with the body, not against it.

Here’s the irony:
When we try to make the body move symmetrically, we often create more imbalance.

Healing comes from embracing asymmetry and honouring our unique design — not forcing bodies to conform to manuals.

Pilates healed my back.
The only time my neck, shoulder, or back pain returns?
When I teach advanced mat work — not from weakness, but from unnecessary upper-body load.

Most people coming to Pilates have:
• bulging discs
• osteoporosis
• neck & shoulder pain

They don’t need more compression.

They need intelligent movement.

And intelligent movement starts with:
✨ seeing
✨ feeling
✨ awareness
Because when you’re aware…
you move with intelligence, not force.

Reformer Pilates is a powerful way to enhance your mat work ✨

The reformer helps assist your movement, giving you feedback, support, and resistance where you need it most. This allows you to really understand the mechanics of each exercise so you can perform your mat work with more precision, control, and confidence.

By building strength, alignment, and body awareness on the reformer, you’ll notice your mat practice feels clearer, stronger, and more intentional 💪🧘‍♀️

Reformer Timetable:

🗓 Tuesday – Beginner Flow | 2pm
🗓 Wednesday – Beginner Flow | 2pm
🗓 Thursday – Modified | 2pm
🗓 Thursday – Beginner Flow | 6pm
🗓 Thursday – Beginner Flow | 7pm
🗓 Friday – Beginner Flow | 2pm

Your mat practice will thank you 🤍

Your nervous system is listening.
Pilates speak softly. 🧠✨

Most workouts tell your body to push harder.
Pilates teaches it to feel safer.

Here’s how 👇

🌀 Slow, controlled movement
Gentle precision tells your nervous system you’re not in danger—shifting you out of fight-or-flight and into regulation.

🌬️ Intentional breathing
Pilates breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering stress hormones and calming the mind.

🧘‍♀️ Mind-body connection
Focused movement increases body awareness, helping your brain trust your body again.

⚖️ Improved posture & alignment
When your body moves efficiently, your nervous system doesn’t have to stay on high alert.

🔁 Consistency over intensity
Regular Pilates builds resilience—your system learns it can respond, not react.

Pilates isn’t just exercise.
It’s nervous system care. 💫

Your body doesn’t need more pressure.

It needs support.

Save this for your next mindful movement reminder 🤍

Reformer Pilates actually came before mat work.

Joseph Pilates designed the Reformer first, using springs to both support and challenge the body. The original idea wasn’t to make things harder — it was to help people move better. The springs assisted proper alignment, built strength safely, and taught the body correct movement patterns.

Once strength, control, and awareness were developed on the Reformer, mat work followed. By then, the body was prepared to support itself without assistance.

The Reformer was the foundation —
the mat was the test.
✨ Movement with purpose, from the very beginning.

✨ Move with awareness. Heal with intention. ✨
I love teaching people how to see and feel imbalance in everyday life — and giving them the tools to correct it, move better, and improve overall wellbeing.
This is more than a Pilates class.

It’s movement coaching — where we explore how you move every day, not just on the mat. A supportive space to learn, grow, and evolve 💫
