Getting some help with class planning this week!πβ€οΈ
πͺ Letβs hear it for the boys!
Sometimes it works out that only the lads are in class. So we took some time to work on some of the more challenging exercises for them.
Here they are learning scissors. It requires control, a sense of opposition between the push and pull of the legs. Obviously the hamstrings are getting a stretch. But as you can see some are modifying by softening the knee to accommodate any tightness. I think they are doing a great job! ππ»

πͺπͺ Roll over on tower
Super proud of this beauty. From building strength after a back injury, this is her first attempt at roll over on the tower. This can be a daunting exercise, but after working on her spinal mobility and core strength, she shows lovely control here. π good job.
β½οΈRolling like a ball!
Same, same but different!
Working with this lovely couple on the same exercise but both have different needs.
Susan is working on opening her lower back and widening the back of the pelvis to help great a smoother roll. So you wil see she is holding her position differently.
Martin, also has a different position with his elbows connected to knees. This creates more work in the abdominals and really challenges his ability to maintain the position as he rolls back.
This is why I love Pilates! Our bodies are all so different. We don't have to avoid an exercise just because we find it tricky. We find ways around of, to make it happen. πͺ
Off for Easter this week. Love a little wander through the back lanes to the beach π.....Happy Easter All! See you next week. X
π Blast from the past, still love this pic!
Our beautiful girl, still always guiding, protecting and grounding us through life β€
πͺ High intensity class!
I'm currently on a half term break. I will be back next week and have a few spaces for my online High intensity class. This beauty of a fat burner will get your heart pumping, muscles firing, deep core connected, it does blooming everything! I see some serious results with this class. It's Fridays @ 9.30am and will set you up for the day! First class free, please message to give it a try! S. X
πͺπͺ Leg Pull
Solid as a rock! Proud of this guy for nailing the prep for this exercise. We slightly lifted the pelvic position to give him more stability, as this is a tricky area for him. But as you can see, he performs this exercise with such grace and control I had to share it with you! Good work ππͺ
πͺπͺ Client wins π
I first met this lovely lady when I was 16! (That's a long time ago)π
So when she called me to say she wanted to do Pilates I was thrilled.
She came suffering with a back problem that was preventing her from working, walking a distance and exercising. We soon located that her posture was playing a massive part in the issue.
She has worked so so hard on all the exercises. But to see her do such a beautifully controlled short spine on the reformer makes me very, very happy. Well done!! X
πͺ The power of Pilates
I am so proud of this chap. He arrived with a chronic back issue that really affects his posture.
At first it was extremely difficult to get him upright, kneeling on the machine to strengthen his mid back. You can see from the first picture, his natural posture pulls him forward and his thoracic spine is excessively curved. The second photo, he has gained so much more strength and opened up his chest. He is able to maintain a strong, lengthened spine and perform the lat pull with confidence. πππ
Always amazes me that reformer Pilates is still so undiscovered by so many! The media then exposes it as the new fitness trend but it's been around sooooo long!
Joe Pilates created the reformer in the 1920"s. I tried the reformer in 1999 and have now been teaching for 23 years. It is something very special, if you ever get chance to use one, do it!!! Or get in touch if you would like to go on my waitlist for 1to1 sessions. β€
