Snapshot into the studio - side splits on the Reformer. Great exercise for balance, hip stability and strength.

I recently had to spend time working from home on a computer, at a desk, being completely involved in what I was doing time flew by and before I knew it, it was dark! When I got up I could hardly move - ok, I know what you are saying… why sit there for so long… true, but it did get me thinking about all those office workers / workers from home. Somehow you don’t think they would suffer as much but actually sitting still for long periods of time plays havoc on the body!
Let’s move! 💃🕺

Have you ever noticed someone trip, and no matter how much they stumble they never touch the floor?
Amazing right? How the body quickly reacts to given situations. We must continue to challenge the body with movement.
Balance, co-ordination, agility, flexibility, strength.
Use it or lose it 💃🕺

Rowing 1 on the Reformer - we had fun in class exploring the lift in the waist as you circle the arms. How much longer can you get your curve to lift up and out of your hips 🤔… whole new ball game 🙌

Who would have known that Suzanne has a history of back surgery 🤔
You go girl! 🔥🔥🔥

Unfortunately knee, hip and back surgery are all too common, but the good news is is that you can build strength and stability to support the joints and get you functional again.

It’s a shame but all too often we see people who have had surgery but feel lost in terms of what they should be doing to recover and they feel unsupported.

It’s not just about the surgery but also about finding the confidence to move again.
You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve 💪

Down Stretch - Reformer. This exercise would never have been available to her 2 years ago! Amazing! 🤩👏👏
This is determination and consistency.

Remember Pilates is an ongoing practice, everyday is a day to discover something new, if you just listen to your body.

Does anyone else feel sad that it’s all over? 🥲

Christmas doesn’t have to be all consuming and stressful, it’s what you make of it.

Stopping for a moment
Sharing
Reflecting
Laughing (a lot!)
Indulging (a little)
Enjoying the sparkle
Being silly

I hope you all had a good one what ever you got up to. 🎄🎄🎄🎉🎉🎉

Stabilize, stabilize, stabilize
A strong body is a stable body, less likely to get injured.
Function, mobility and strength are key for a happy body.

Little niggles left unchecked can soon turn into problems and even secondary problems.
Movement is key, get to know your body, what is normal for you? Is this the best it can be? What doesn't feel right? What feels really good?

Let's move! So ultimately you can run, dance and play! 😁💃🕺

Phil...What a legend!...💪🙌

Have you been using the gym a lot and think Pilates is a load of old rubbish?
You'd be surprised at how much Pilates can inform and improve your gym work.
Phil came to us with multiple issues, including hip, shoulder and knee. The change has been amazing, improved mobility, improved strength and most importantly no pain!.

How amazing is this...Love it!

"I can't do Pilates because I'm not flexible"

This is a common one....it's a shame that people shy away from Pilates because they think they need to be flexible.
That's like saying "I can't learn to drive a car because I can't drive" that's precisely why you need to learn, so that you can do the 'thing'

Pilates isn't all about flexibility, yes you will improve your range of motion but you will also gain so much more.

Agility, coordination, strength, balance....all these things come hand in hand with each other.

Pilates meets you where you are at, which is why everyone should be doing Pilates!
Pilates is a lifestyle to enhance your life. If you feel you are inflexible then it's a sign that your body is calling you to do something about it.
