Pilates with Vick - Recharge Move Recover

09/02/2026

Free Fundamentals of Pilates workshop Tuesday 17th February 6.15-7.15pm in St Theodore's Church Hall. Station Road Hampton.

Aimed at Beginners or Returners, or anyone who feels they'd like a Refresher of the Fundamentals with lots of time for questions and hands on coaching to help you feel confident starting or returning to class.

I host a regular mixed ability class at St Theodores on Tuesday's at this time, but this workshop will be specially focused on understanding the breathing, finding your pelvic floor and practicing how to use it altogether in exercises so you can get stronger, say goodbye to pain and move better even outside of class.

Please message me on 07905 373847 with any questions and to book your spot.
All you need to bring is yourself.
Vick 🙂

Waking up feeling a bit ‘crunchy’ lately? 🦴

If lower back stiffness or achy joints are holding you back, Pilates is like a 'service and tune-up' for your body.
By strengthening your core and stabilizing your spine, you’re basically doing DIY physio every time you step on the mat.

Let’s move from 'I can’t do that' to 'I feel so much better.' 🧘‍♂️💪

How freely are you able to move all the parts of your body?
Lack of movement in the body creates tension and friction and breeds pain.
Encouraging movement naturally creates freedom, joy, energy and power emotionally, physically and mentally.
How aware are you of your movement throughout the day, outside of the gym/class setting?
What have you done to try to create more movement in your day?
Have you got a body part that's not moving as freely as you'd like? Or even causing pain?

Doing nothing doesn’t just mean you don’t get better than you are now.

Doing nothing means you’ll actively lose fitness from where you are today:

💪 In five years’ time you’ll have lost around 5% of your muscle mass if over 30 - up to 15% over 70!

🚶🏻‍♀️Your ability to balance will reduce making you more likely to fall…and break a bone

🧎🏽‍♀️Lack of flexibility and mobility will make you more prone to injuries like frozen shoulder, or putting your back out.

How about, instead of doing nothing, you take action now and grab one of the last few spaces left for our Pilates classes?

- Practice balance to reduce risks of trips, slips and falls
- Learn stretches and releases to improve your flexibility and mobility.
- Increase your muscle strength and bone density to keep you doing things for yourself and reduce the risk of injury

Yes, there are only a few spaces left.

If you want one of them, hurry to the first comment and grab it quick, before they are all gone.

Breathing has never seemed difficult ever before until you come to a Pilates class.....right? 🤣

It's not just you, breathing is one of the most difficult things to master when you first start a new type of exercise - I still get reminded to "aand breaaatheee" by my coaches too.

Unfortunately stress and work and inactivity and poor sleep and and and ....life, means our body's have often gotten out of good efficient breathing habits.

This video will show you how to reset, relax and take control of breathing again.
Practising this type of breathing will help reduce stress and get you ready to exercise again.

Also....you can do it anywhere!
At your desk if your boss stresses you out,
In the car after dropping the kids at school,
Or just chilling on your sofa for a few minutes before your evening Netflix 😉

If you've been thinking about coming back to exercise or even trying Pilates, keep an eye out for the rest of my Fundamentals series, to get you confident and ready to walk back into class.

Share your videos with friends, family, and the world

What is Pilates anyway?

It's a way to connect with body so you can move better, be pain free, get stronger and keep doing all the fun stuff like playing with kids or dancing or BJJ........(and make the every day stuff easier like carrying the shopping bags in from the car, taking the hoover up the stairs, picking stuff up off the floor 😮)

Drop me a message if you want to know more 👇🏼

New classes starting Tuesday 28th and Thursday 30th January 10am at The Armoury

How are you getting on with 2025?

If you didn't quite get your exercise, fitness or movement resolutions started yet and are feeling a bit rubbish about it because you're still stiff and struggling with silly things like carrying the shopping or climbing the stairs (or reaching into the bottom drawer 🙈) then Don't Worry!!!! 🤗

You can now come and join me for my unique style of fun but related to real life pilates classes at The Armoury in Sutton.

- wear whatever you're comfortable in - no lycra required
- no one will be looking at you except me
- no one will know what they are doing because it's a New Class ✨️
- I want you to feel better when you leave so I won't be mean or embarrass you in class
- you just need to bring yourself and a bottle of water, we have everything else you need

I am very happy to answer any and all questions however silly they might feel so ask away 👇🏼

You are probably thinking the same as someone else and it'll help them out too 🙃

Find every little moment and minute you can to be present and breathe. Encourage the people around you to join in, no matter how young your old. Without rest and recovery all your hard work will just become burnout.

Is January a good time of year for you to reset?
Maybe, maybe not.
If it is do you have an intention you want to build on going forward?
For me, I find myself in a good place to start rebuilding my strength and my intention is to be more aware of that every day.
I started today with 45 minutes of my own pilates practice, purely for me, nonone else - no filming, no teaching, no demonstrating. Just me and my body and my mind reconnecting with my nervous system and my inner self.
Start small, love yourself more. 🙏
