Caroline's Power Pilates, Aqua, Fitness and Life

Pilates needs a mind and body connection. Breath is a main fundamental + live your movement❤️ It truly is an all over body workout.

I am a qualified PILATES, AQUA POWER PILATES, FITNESS & FREESTYLE GROUP EX. Instructor with over 25 yrs teaching experience in health & fitness with your safety and enjoyment as my top priority. PILATES helps make the body stronger, longer and leaner, helps aid flexibility ,muscle strength, balance and posture. Using the CORE [ correctly ] as the main source of control in all disciplines, but especially in PILATES also helps strengthen the abdominal's which in turn helps lower back issues and so much more. Really in short working from the inside out.�

My classes are aimed at all levels of fitness and age groups. Open to all, with a STRONG emphasis on SAFETY and CLEAR TEACHING POINTS. Participants are encouraged to work to their own fitness level, resting down when necessary. Modifications are given where possible for all Movements, making the classes achievable for all fitness levels and and abilities. I encourage Precision, flow, breath and mind connection throughout class, we also do balance, strength and cardio with time for stretch and relaxation. at the end of all of our classes, whether PILATES, FITNESS or AQUA. My SEA POWER PILATES
class is a "one of its kind " High Interval fitness class in the sea. The classes lasts for 45 mins and you do not go outside of your depth. Please always check with a health professional before you embark on any new fitness regime or class you are thinking of attending for the first time, especially, if you have not been doing any structured exercise classes before. Classes are friendly and inviting with great people from all walks of life in them and coming alone should, I hope not be a problem. Now for the SEA POWER PILATES class. Class times

Hope you all had a nice weekend.🙏🏻
Movie tip for you ANGELA on Netflix now it is as Spanish movie with subtitles, 6 episode's, but it is definitely one you will want to binge.
It's excellent I think!
Popped down for a workout this morning with my dumbbells,l very icy 🥶 wind chill but lovely.
I watched a gentleman man walk in to the left of me, he was so clearly freezing but was just getting himself prepared to dip down over his head, he popped up so quickly I feel he may have got a shock from the cold and he was out and gone.
It's important to take your time entering cold water, 🌊 especially as we go towards the winter season.
Cold 🥶 water shock is not pleasant and
wearing a hat in the cold is still beneficial because the head is sensitive to cold and can cause the body's core temperature to drop.
Take a little time to allow the body temperature to acclimatize to the cold water temperature, before going under the water without a hat, just a thought 💭
I had resin to call a hotel reception and after various attempts unluckily got a Virtual Receptionist.
OMG 😱 it was 20 minutes of the most frustrating time of my weekend🤯
It was without doubt AI and just kept repeating itself over and over with the same info, I have come into contact phone wise with them before and felt exactly the same but this was definitely the worst.😫
By the end of it I just wanted to cry, 😭 I longed to just speak to a human being and it will only get worse I fear.🤬
There is something called disengagement Theory and I think it is in quiet, but full flow and has been for sometime now!
Society will try and make people feel their age, putting society in little boxes, even down to how you exercise, what you do, what will suit your age bracket,🤷🏻 such as classes for over 40's, over 50's, or those ridiculous names like Silver Surfers,Gently
Does It and need I go one.
I detest that, of course people need to work to their own fitness level and abilities always but you don't need to be segregated to particular things.
I know there is a notion that Pilates for example is for older people who cannot do aerobic, or circuits,or harder physical classes so untrue.
I have seen in my teaching experience those of all ages who believe themselves to be fit, strong and have been doing lots of strength work, then they are in Pilates movements and have difficulty maintaining the positions, so Pilates can be as challenging as you want it to be and that's down to a teacher to be able to cover all abilities in a class, as no two people are the same and regardless of fitness achieved will still have differing abilities in all classes.
There is so much more to be remembered when helping people to be healthier in all ways,
I digress.😜
Take care enjoy your evening.❤️🫂

Well guys a busy week that was!😜
Well done to all classes indoors, outdoors and of course in the sea🌊.
The weather was all over the place,🌨️☁️💨🌞 but we were very lucky especially with our outdoor classes! 😀
The sun was shining for Park 🏞️ class and being a teacher who usually watches and monitors my classes, to the best of my ability, it was just lovely for me to get down on my mat 💪🏻and join in with the floor work this morning. 🌅
Although the sea 🌊 was supposedly around 9° as Debbie read somewhere.....I don't usually check it myself as it is what it is, we are either going in, or we are not.... it was lovely!
However the wind🌬️ was strong💪🏻 with a real chill to it, freezing and relentless, 🥶
but it didn't stop US, a tough class, even though I say so myself but just amazing and we love our dumbells,😍 but noodles are excellent for our strength work also!
All and everything I can get our hands too for all of our classes and that's the way they have always been!
None of us are getting any younger
I believe what doesn't challenge you, doesn't change you!❤️
However always remembering to work to your own ability and ALWAYS Listen 👂🏻 to your own body!@
In my teaching experience I am sure I say this everyday but human nature is a very strange thing you know!🤷🏻
Well done to you all, thank you for all your efforts, your attendance to classes and for just being You!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lots of love to you all!

Hi everyone 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻
I mentioned this very quick and delicious Orzo dish to you in class.🤩
As you know I am a great fan of my simple, none complicated pressure cooker and used it to cut down on time.....what would take around 45 minutes to cook in the oven.... was finished In about 12 minutes🤷🏻 beautiful and so full of flavour.
Not to nice a day today😕
Just look at that weather.🌨️🌂☁️
Have a good day and take care.xx❤️🫂

Life Post.
Hi everyone 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻
Firstly I do hope you are all well and staying dry in that beautiful 😍 rain.
I was listening to a discussion about the pros regarding AI and found myself asking the radio why there is not more truth being offered to the general public about the negative side and it's use!🤯
Obviously this is my opinion!
The anxiety surrounding AI (certainly artificial, in no way intelligent) often speaks to the fear of a 'impending' or 'looming' existential threat. This is wrong; it is already here: Large language models and AI assistants are already being installed on your phones, they are helping students write their university essays and job applicants writing their applications, and even AI therapists driving our most vulnerable into taking their own lives. Governments are already in active discussions about feeding your medical and voting information to these models (see more on US military and intelligence company Palantir and it's ambitions for the UK NHS), and not one of these political bodies have taken the responsibility of educating themselves about the real moral and ethical concerns of letting these amoral tech interests run roughshod through every civic service you depend on. It will not stop; not without fierce regulation, comprehensive education for all, pressure on politicians who continue remain ignorant on these matters, and naming and shaming when companies callously continue to insinuate their AI algorithms into every aspect of our infrastructure.
Stay safe in the weather to day! 🙏🏻
I will update for classes tomorrow but I think they will go ahead as normal.💪🏻🏊🏻
Have a good day and keep your heart up.xx❤️

It is such a tough watch, I gave up in the end!!Tonight, 8pm Disclosure,Care Home Undercover.
Oh my God, absolutely horrific....although with what Maurice told me he experienced in a home in Bangor with my mum's friend... it doesn't surprise me, but makes me physically sick to see how one human will treat another.
How is this still being allowed to happen to our loved ones in some of these places and those with no one to speak for them?
It's down right cruelty, so inhuman and how do those perpetrating these things live with themselves????
😠🤬

Our Story

I am a qualified PILATES & FREESTYLE Group Exercise instructor and teaching for over 20 years has thrown up many misconceptions surrounding the discipline; that Pilates is easy, only for women or for older people, only a stretching class and only for those with back problems and other related issues.

This could not be further from the truth. It is my belief that anyone can benefit from Pilates, it places emphasis on working the abdominal core, strengthening the body from the inside out. It enhances movement and flexibility and can help improve quality of life. It can be as gentle or as challenging as you wish.

While Pilates is a fantastic way of strengthening the core, it is also an effective and holistic full-body workout. Pilates is suitable for all ages and experience levels.

Participants in all classes are encouraged to work at their own pace and movements can be modified to allow them to work for everyone. If you've never considered a class before, or find yourself sitting on the fence, consider this your push. There has never been a better time to experience Pilates and discover what it could do for you.
