Hi Everyone, it's time to reinflate your helium balloons and lace up your corsets. Check your inboxes for the rebooking email. :)

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well, and hopefully ready to start back at Pilates. I’m sure “most” of you are looking forward to getting back on the rollers 😂
Planning on starting back week beginning 19th August. I’ll send out an email nearer the time.
I wanted to get started back, there may be a class that I have to cancel for clinic/hospital appointments, but let’s get started back and see how it goes 🤞 xx

Added hip hop to our Monday night dance (ballet and tap) class. No stopping us 💪🏻😂🎶🤘

Pilates is for everyone, no matter your age, stage of life, or fitness level. Pilates is for general fitness, health, well being, or rehabilitation of injuries, pre or post surgery. Classes are suitable for beginners/improvers and taught by a Chartered Physiotherapist with a diploma in Mat Work Pilates. Classes are small and pre booked to make sure you get the attention you need. Limited spaces available.

What a quick week! Thank you for another lovely week of fun, laughter and commitment to your health and wellbeing. Have a great weekend, and see you all next week 👏👌☺️

Rebooking emails sent for the new block of Pilates classes.

Class plans prepared for this week......"Getting moving again......moves and stretches to counteract postures adopted over the festive season.....and reconnecting with your ever important corset muscles" .....and not forgetting bouncing on a big colourful gym ball 😉

Great start back to Ballet and Tap tonight…. And All That Jazz 🎩👯‍♂️👌

Happy New Year 🥳
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Pilates starts back this week, I’ll get an email sent out tomorrow with the dates.
Hope to see you all back, joining me in my 17th year of teaching Pilates 🥳🫣 xx

Fantastic feedback from a longstanding client.
***That's me signed off from orthopaedics, consultant was well pleased with my movement and xray was so balanced. Ros McKenna did say enthusiasm for rehab was essential and she believes every one should do at least 10 minutes pilates every day. To congratulate Lynne on her guidance and care. ***

What fantastic feedback! One of my new clients was in happy tears this morning, she hasn’t had to take any painkillers since her last class…. two weeks of Pilates 👌🥰

Just on the off chance, are any of you interested in beginners tap and ballet. Some spaces have opened up in our small (private group) class.
It’s good exercise and good fun.
DM for details xx

Great classes again this week.....I get as much wellbeing out of teaching the classes as you all do attending the classes. Thank you all for being such lovely clients 🙂 x

Great classes last week everyone, I suppose a wee bit of the “physioterrorist” came out in me 🤪🤔 This week is the last week in this block, so only five more weeks of Pilates before we finish up for Christmas 🎄 It has to be the exercise balls this week, it’s been a while; a favourite of many of you. 🥰😊

*** Spaces have opened up in the very popular Thursday morning class. ***

Realistic Pilates is for '"real" people with "real" bodies with "real" conditions.
The focus is on posture and alignment, aiming to put your body into its optimum position and train your muscles to hold it there.
Sometimes 'big' moves, for example "sit ups" or curling up, or holding both legs up in the air balancing on the base of your spine isn't really working your core, but instead you are using bigger "global" muscles rather than the smaller "local" muscles and possibly hurting your back in the process.
It doesn't have to be "no pain, no gain", sometimes "less is more" as you will often hear me saying.
Moves are modified to suit each individual client, working at their own level, challenging their body with each move rather than finding it a struggle and ending up using the wrong muscle groups.
Speaking and teaching Pilates as a Physiotherapist, it's so important to be aware of and use/train these muscles following treament with Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors.
Realistic Pilates can benefit so many clients, with a mulitude of "problems"/ conditions.
