I'm very much hoping that the cherry blossom tree in our garden isn't currently wonderfully aligned to the seasons because it's performing a final hurrah before leaving us – we've watched it struggle since we've been here and I've fed it over the years with my homegrown 'worm tea' (natural plant food from my wormery), until it's become a real focal point (not hard, as our garden is pretty small!) and is now letting its healthy, bright red leaves drop. This is such a beautiful time of year, watching the trees go through their autumnal evolution – there's something so magical about all the colours; it never gets old!

I'm always banging on to my children about the importance of a hearty breakfast – in our house Greek yoghurt, nuts, oats, eggs and fruit all feature in a big way in the morning. I appreciate this is not a one-size-fits-all scenario, but personally I find that feeding my body and my brain first thing gives me the energy I need to take me through to lunch and beyond. What's your breakfast of choice?

Whatever you're planning on doing with your pumpkins this weekend, remember that the seeds are absolutely beautiful roasted (and very good for you) and the flesh (that you are most likely going to be scooping out, right?) makes a very tasty soup if simmered with vegetable stock, carrots, potato, onions, cream – olive oil and croutons to serve. Yum.

Here at studio.life we offer full-length Reformer classes for all ages and abilities, taught by teachers with many years' experience. The resistance of the springs and pulleys builds strength in the core, which provides a foundation for the entire body. From there comes muscle tone, flexibility, improved posture, injury prevention, reduced stress, more focus... I could go on but why not come and see for yourself?

Autumn is a great time for soups and stews, especially after a long day, and this is a great way to pack in the veg, beans and pulses. Harder to include when the weather starts to close in are the raw options, but I often find that bowls of colourful slices of things can be just as enticing, even as comfort food. What are your favourite autumn meals?

Matwork Pilates really is a superpower. Here at studio.life we offer five different matwork classes throughout the week, all providing a low-impact, full-body workout to increase strength, minimise chance of injury and alleviate chronic pain, among other benefits. Straighten that spine and move your body with mindfulness – why not come along and give it a try?

Let's give a little nod to autumn – I've been trying to pay more attention to the colours nature's giving us at this time of year. The many shades of green, and the bright, primary colours of the summer, are slowly making way for all the warm bronzes, reds and golds. The air smells smokier, in a good way, and the sky seems to get a little lower at the edges. Time for a big forest walk!

Let's talk about resistance in Pilates. Using a Reformer correctly strengthens the core, increases muscle tone and improves posture, as well as helping to build up endurance, all by using the machine's springs for resistance – customised appropriately and used in the right way. Let's make a start!

The seasons are changing, summer is behind us and the moon is huge! I, for one, am looking forward to the clocks going back, watching the leaves change, lighting the wood burner, making hot chocolate to drink round the fire pit with my boys and getting stuck in to my new favourite thing – reading Dickens! Rock and roll I hear you cry!

Before I was a Pilates instructor, I was a professional photographer, and as that world evolved digitally, I fell out of love with certain aspects of it. Over the last decade I've been able to piece back together the parts I truly love about it, and am hoping to make a return to it in my own way, just for the love of it, without compromise. What passions – old or new – will you explore?

Not only is Reformer Pilates fantastic for posture and balance, it also increases muscle strength and overall stamina. Why not come along to a session at the studio, where we can guide you through the most appropriate exercises, and line you up with a plan to improve and maintain your health going forward?
