Why Bridge House Pilates?

BHP was created when we moved to Frome, Somerset and into Bridge House. It seemed kismet that the namesake of our house included one of my favorite Pilates moves, the bridge. So important for back health. Raise your arms overhead and spine curl down for a lovely back stretch as well.

I hold 1-1s and small group classes here, so look for the Bridge House brass plaque out front if you’re visiting!

👋 Hey y’all! I just wanted to introduce myself for those new followers.
I’m Meaghan, a Pilates teacher based in Frome, Somerset, England. Although I’m originally from Texas so don’t be thrown by the accent!
I offer group classes and 1-1s in this lovely yellow studio (and a few up at RISE).
My specialisms include prenatal, postnatal, lower back pain and osteopenia / osteoporosis.
I came to Pilates because of back pain due to scoliosis and have never looked back (pun intended)!
I spent a decade as a desk jockey which only made my back pain worse, so I also offer 30 minute Desk Pilates and Ergonomics Workshops to get your teams moving virtually or IRL in Bath / Frome.
AND coming soon - a 6 week online, on-demand postnatal course.
Lots of fun things on offer, so watch this space for tips and tricks to get you moving 💫

A reminder from Evie and I to add some side bends to your day for a healthy spine.
We spend lots of time in the saggital plane (think moving front and back) so why not add some rotation and side bending in to allow your spine to move in ALL the different planes for a healthy back.

Spent the last 4 days training with and the lovely

Such an interesting way to look at the body and how everything is connected!

Get ready for some new moves to help your body function at its best and walk with myofascial ease.

10 Nov

BYO mat and small towel, I’ll bring the small equipment and exercises 💪

DM if you’d like to join the course!

Can highly recommend Frome to Radstock via the Colliers Way for a bike ride 🚴 especially when the autumn sun is on point👌

I’ve been trying to incorporate more cardio because even as a Pilates teacher I forget to look after myself sometimes!

Why not try incorporating a walk, bike, hike, swim, row, run, dance into your week. It does wonders for low back pain to add even short strolls each day (and of course Pilates!) It’s all about variety and finding movement that you love 🥰 so exercise doesn’t feel like a chore 🤸‍♀️

If you are experiencing back pain, I am a qualified BackCare professional and happy to help just send me a DM!
