JR Pilates

Welcome to JR Pilates Physio-Led Pilates based in Hadleigh, Essex. Based at St Barnabas Church, Hadleigh, Essex.

Our class runs on Wednesday evenings from 7:30-830pm.

26/02/2026

✨ Warm up with us ✨
At the beginning of each class, we ALWAYS warm up for between 10-15 minutes. A warm-up isn’t just “getting hot”, it prepares the body and nervous system for movement. During a warm up we:
* Activate the muscles we are going to use throughout the session
* In turn this increases blood flow to the muscles and primes the nervous system
* We work through our range of movement at most joints
* Enhance coordination and movement control
* Improve performance in the session that follows
* Reduce the risk of any injury or flare up to current injury

Because our classes are led by a qualified physiotherapist, we can adapt the exercises to those with injury or illness. However, we welcome anyone of any ability as the class can be tailored to individuals and we give a variety of options throughout the class to make it easier or harder.

We have spaces at our next class which is Wednesday 4th March at 7:30pm. Please DM me to book or email me on jrpilates@yahoo.com.

P.S. This video is just over 10 minutes into 10 seconds!

A little preview of tomorrow’s physiotherapy-led Pilates class ✨

The class isn’t just about what you do in the room — it’s about giving you the tools to move better outside of it too.
We focus on understanding your body, improving technique, and learning exercises you can safely practise on your own between sessions.

Building consistency through self-practice is where real strength, confidence and long-term change happens 🤍

🕢 7:30–8:30pm
🧘‍♀️ All levels welcome

We love switching it up in JR Pilates classes✨

Heres a little snippet from something a little different in our physio-led pilates class this week 🤍
We brought out the Pilates balls and took the work into standing focus in on balance, ankle stability, pelvic control and functional strength! Standing work is just as effective… and I’m sure your glutes definitely agreed 🔥

Our next class is Wednesday 11th February - don’t forget to book your spot to avoid disappointment due to limited availability 📞

The Clam | Physio-Led Pilates

The clam may look simple, but when performed correctly it’s a powerful exercise for hip stability and pelvic control.

✨ Why we use it in Physio led Pilates:
• Activates gluteus medius & minimus
• Supports pelvic and lumbar stability
• Improves hip control for walking, running & single-leg tasks
• Commonly used in rehab for low back pain, hip pain & knee pain

🧠 Key technique cues:
✔ Side-lying, hips stacked and spine neutral
✔ Engage deep core before moving
✔ Keep feet together, open from the hip (not the lower back)
✔ Slow, controlled movement — quality over range
✔ Avoid rolling the pelvis backwards

🔄 Progressions:
• Add band resistance
• Try adding leg extension (as in the video)
• Try adding reverse clam (as in the video)

This is a staple in my Physio-led Pilates classes, ensuring movements are purposeful, controlled, and safe for all abilities.

📍 Join us in class to move better, feel stronger & build resilience

Our next class is Wednesday 21st January 7:30pm at St Barnabas Church, Hadleigh, Essex 🐚

✨ Pilates Ball Flow ✨
A little sneak peek from last week’s session. I LOVE the Pilates ball as it adds so much versatility to our classes; making some exercises more challenging and facilitating others bringing the perfect mix of challenge and support. 💛🧘‍♀️

Don’t forget — we’re back on the mat tomorrow!
Same time, same place. Let’s move together. 🤍

🍃 The JR Pilates squad worked super hard tonight… here’s a snippet of other class ‘swimming’ 🏊🏽

🏊🏽‍♀️ The Swimming Pilates exercise is a classic mat movement that strengthens the back extensors, glutes, hamstrings, and core, while improving spinal stability and coordination.

🧠 Key Technique Cues
• Keep your pelvis steady—no rocking side to side.
• Stretch long through the fingertips and toes.
• Keep ribs drawn in and core lifted.
• Movement should feel like a lengthening, not crunching the lower back.
• Keep shoulder blades drawn down towards waist

💪 Benefits
• Strengthens the entire posterior chain (back of body)
• Activates the gluteal muscles
• Improves core stability and dissociates hip extension from core control
• Enhances spinal extension
• Promotes better posture
• Builds coordination and breath control

Don’t forget to get booked in for our next class which is on Wednesday 26th of November. Now is the perfect time to book a block of four sessions at £11 a class (£44 at time of booking) in the run-up to our Christmas break 🎄

🤍Everyone smashed tonights class which included one of my favorite finishers…. Hundreds! 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣

💥 Why We LOVE Hundreds 💥

If you’ve ever done Pilates, you know the Hundreds mean business 😅 — but here’s why we can’t get enough of them!

💨 They wake up your whole body — arms pumping, abs firing, breath flowing.
🔥 Core on fire (in the best way) — hello, deep abs and powerhouse engagement!
🧠 Mind-body magic — the breathing rhythm keeps you focused and centered.

So next time your instructor says “Let’s finish with Hundreds,” just smile — they’re doing your core a huge favour🤪

“Describe JR Pilates in three words…” ✨

Each class is designed to improve strength, balance, posture, control of movement as well as empowering, motivating and focusing you on how your body moves. 💫
