Barefoot Flow

This week we were very sorry to say goodbye to both Jo and Elizabeth. Although we are sad to see them go, we wish them both all the very best for the future.

Business As Usual!

You may or may not have heard, but after 4 years, Jo is leaving Barefoot Flow! Jo successfully navigated Barefoot Flow through the choppy post-Covid waters and has created a very caring, respectful and fun Pilates business, that we all enjoy being a part of. Now, however, her husband has a wonderful new job opportunity, so they are leaving Tunbridge Wells and moving to sunny Cape Town. Although we are all very sorry to see her go, we wish them all the best for the future. Jo’s last classes will be on Saturday 29th June, make sure you’re booked in!

Elizabeth is also leaving Barefoot Flow, after 10 years, she has decided it’s time to reduce her hours and enjoy some leisure time - who can blame her! Her contribution to the smooth running of Barefoot Flow can’t be overestimated and I’m sure we all appreciate how much she has done over her years teaching here. Her last day of teaching is Wednesday 26th June.

Barefoot Flow will continue onwards, with ownership passing to Eloise, who has been teaching here since 2022. We hope that you will notice very little difference to your Pilates experience at Barefoot Flow; though some timetable changes are inevitable, these will be kept to a minimum. Classes are being reallocated to Eloise, Ali, Yasmin or Rachel at the moment so your favourite sessions should still be available and we are in the process of recruiting some new instructors as well, so watch out for some new faces coming soon! The future of Barefoot Flow is bright and we look forward to seeing you all either on the mat or the reformer very soon.

Jo and Elizabeth, we thank you both very much for all your hard work and dedication and, although we are very sorry to see you both go, we wish you the best of luck and happiness for the future.

The Barefoot Flow Team

Yep 👍🏻 adore your core, do pilates

Our Mat classes focus on classical pilates movements but we love accessories to assist and challenge - it’s like adding chocolate to your cappuccino

When your instructor says ‘okay this is going to be an easy flow’ they may not be telling the truth 😂

We couldn't agree more! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mat Power hour is always a great way to start the day - 7:30am Mon, Wed and Friday ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

With or without poles? The reformer is the perfect piece of equipment to help us improve and maintain our balance. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Playing around on the medicine balls - happy Friday everyone

No one wanted their faces in the photo so you get a room full of backsides! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The strength and dedication of our clients always amazes us and keeps us constantly having fun finding new ways to challenge them. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hope your Monday has gone smoothly, and less bumpy than single leg standing on the pilates cushion. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Have you ever wondered what we do in the studio when there are no classes? Well last Friday afternoon we spent time with Claire Reece, Osteopath and Stott Pilates Instructor from Bodycraft Clinic, fine tuning our knowledge on all things related to lower back pain. Although we may look very serious, it was a fun and insightful few hours. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The aftermath of a productive morning in the studio!

Love Pilates but also love a low impact cardio workout? If this sounds like you then you need to try Jump Board. Jump Board is a padded plate that replaces the foot bar on the reformer, which you 'jump' against providing a great non-weight bearing method to increase heart rate. Yes it is a full body workout.

We are so lucky to have such a gorgeous studio, even better when the sun is shining.

The Wednesday morning crew were on it this morning! We are very lucky to have clients how love Pilates as much as we do.

Mat Power Hour is always a good idea - it's never the same thanks to Jo's & Yasmin's love of accessories (which there are many).

Pilates is our happy hour, happy holiday weekend! Don't forget we are open on Monday.

The calm of the reformer room before a busy morning of classes - love where we work! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Like children (and pets) we do not have a favourite Pilates accessory but if we did the foam roller is up there. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mat or Reformer Pilates, which do you prefer? Please answer in the comments below. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The variations on the reformer are limitless so as instructors it's always fun to add accessories to the traditional Pilates repertoire - showing here the Maple Pole or Dowel. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
