I am dedicated, self-motivated, and a proactive Fitness Pilates Instructor, with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills gained through working in the fitness industry for over 20 years, customer service and training environment organisations.

January Reset: Going Back to Basics with Fitness Pilates
New Year classes are a brilliant opportunity to take things right back to basics — both in technique and in concept. In a fitness world that’s constantly evolving with new trends and formats, revisiting the fundamentals is powerful, even for the most experienced regulars. January is the perfect time to reset movement quality, deepen understanding, and rebuild strong foundations.

• Learn a new way to move your body
• Improve strength and endurance
• Maintain mobility and alleviate pain
• Support your joints
• Strengthen your core
• Improve balance and co-ordination
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• You will start to look and feel great after just a few sessions

I'll help you understand how to breathe properly, how to engage and exercise your pelvic floor and show you how your core can support you not just with exercise, but with everyday life.

Timetable of classes from 5th January 2026

Monday Stisted Village Hall 0930-1015 & ZOOM 1100-1145
Tuesday BSC 0930-1015
Wednesday Wethersfield Village Hall 1100-1145
Thursday Coggeshall Village Hall 1100-1145 & Stisted Village Hall 1500-1545 Chair Pilates (1st Thursday of the month)

If you would like to join any of the classes you can just turn up and pay as you go, however if you would like to contact me beforehand then please do so.
Here’s to a very positive and healthy 2026
It’s time to put yourself first and become the best version of YOU

HOW TO REGULATE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

These are 1-minute tips to help regulate your nervous system.

If you forget them copy down the ones that resonate with you and add them to your notes on your phone then you can pull out your notes and try one or two to help.

Quick Nervous System Reset Tools for the Christmas Break

❤️Hands Over Eyes Reset
Gently place both palms over your eyes and breathe slowly for 60 seconds to reduce sensory overload and calm the nervous system.

❤️Jawline Tapping
Lightly tap along the jawline with your fingertips for 30–60 seconds to release jaw tension and facial holding.

❤️Physiological Sigh
Inhale through the nose, top up the breath, then sigh audibly through the mouth to quickly lower stress levels.

❤️Humming Reset
Hum at a comfortable pitch for 30–60 seconds to stimulate the vagus nerve.

❤️Adrenal Cocktail
Water with a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon (or coconut water). Optional: add Camu-Camu powder mid-afternoon to support hydration and stress response.

❤️Standing Somatic Sway
Stand tall and gently sway side to side for one minute, allowing the body to find its own rhythm.

❤️Standing Shake-Out
Softly shake the arms, hands, and shoulders for 20–30 seconds to help discharge tension.

❤️Feet Press & Release
Press your feet firmly into the floor for 10 seconds, release, and notice the support beneath you.

❤️Peripheral Vision Reset (Eyes Only)
Keep the head still and slowly move the eyes left and right, noticing the edges of your vision — this signals safety to the brain.

❤️Soft Gaze Widening
Gently widen your gaze and notice what’s around you rather than focusing on one point.

❤️Hand-on-Chest Breathing
One hand on the chest, one on the belly — breathe slowly for five calm breaths.

❤️Rock & Reset (Standing or Seated)
Gentle rhythmic rocking reassures the nervous system and supports regulation.

❤️Jaw Massage or Tapping
Massage or tap the jaw and temples for 30 seconds to reduce clenching and facial tension.

❤️Slow-Motion Minute
Move at half your normal speed for one minute — walking, cooking, or tidying.

❤️Legs-Up Reset
Lie on your back with your legs elevated on a chair or wall for 2–3 minutes to calm the body.

Have a great 'festive' week

Pilates @ Coggeshall Village Hall Thursdays 1100-1145
Todays class was the Tinsel Workout.
Pilates exercises but with a fun element by holding a piece of tinsel. This was a great little resource in place of the yoga straps or bands, especially at this time of year. It certainly kept their arms parallel in some of the Pilates exercises.
If you would like to attend a class in the future, then please do get in touch.
The last class of 2025 will be next week which is a slower based Pilates class by candle-light. A time to relax and reflect of the year we are leaving behind.

Please do get in touch if you have any questions.
Have a lovely weekend

The Tinsel Workout
What a great way to start a new week in the festive spirit, with a Pilates workout using tinsel.
Something new, a full body workout using a piece of tinsel to help you stretch, increase your mobility, and strength. The Tinsel Workout is a fun Christmas workout and great for all abilities.
