Pilates Plus +

I mentioned last week that I had an announcement to make and this is it...

I have made the sad decision to close up shop at Pilates Plus. My family will always be my priority and there just isn't space in my life at the moment to keep things going with the level of service I'd be happy to provide to you.

I want my clients to know this hasn't been an easy decision for me to make and that I will miss every single one of you. I really do hope to be back at some point in the future when there is sufficient space in my life (and in my head) to manage it.

Thank you so much to every single one of you that has ever been to one of my classes, or supported me in some other way. I really will miss you all and I really do hope you continue with your Pilates journey.

On that note please see below for some options on where to look next!

I have reached out to a fellow instructor who is going to take over my Tuesday evening time slot at the community centre and also my beach spot so there will be a classes at the exact same times so no excuses 😊 You can book these direct with

The first beach class will be on the 21st May and it will be a special farewell from me and hello from Jo that we will run together. I would love as many of you to be there as possible so I get a chance to say goodbye and thank you in person, and so you get a chance to see how great is and hopefully decide to carry on with her as your instructor.

Full details on this event to follow soon. You can register your interest and ensure you get all the latest information by adding yourself (for free) to the class on my website and we will be in touch 😁 Link in my bio

Finally, anyone who had any class credits left should have heard from me already. If you haven't please send me a message.

is a wonderful caring and attentive teacher and I am very happy to be able to leave you with someone so capable. Please go now with my best wishes and check out her page and give it a follow!

Lots of love to you all! I am looking forward to being able to join you all in the class rather than at the front of it 🥹😘

In case you've missed the news the weather forecast is currently pretty HOT for the next few days here in the UK. Be sensible, don't exercise during the hottest parts of the day, have water with you at all times, and stay in the shade as much as possible.

I'm looking forward to getting out early on Sunday and enjoying the sea breeze before I go hide under a rock for the next 3 days!

Whether your ‘child’ is 4 or 40, you are considered post-Natal and it is never too late to seek improvement!

You do not need to put up with feeling less than your best.

It may be common amongst your friends but that does not mean you need to accept it!

Join our child friendly classes and stop having to choose between selfcare and childcare!

Perhaps you went back to your usual exercise too quickly? Maybe you never realised how important post-natal specific exercise was? Or you may have given birth recently?

If you need more focused care then these classes are perfect for you!

I’ve currently got two classes to choose from that are child friendly, which means babies/children are welcome to come along (you are, of course, also welcome to come alone if you’d prefer):

1. Post-natal specific classes at 9.30am every Tuesday morning at (these are aimed at new mums but anyone who feels they need/want to take things slowly are welcome);
2. Followed by mixed ability at 10.45am (these will also be post-natal/diastasis recti friendly classes).
Children are welcome to both.

If these times don't suit then pretty much any of my classes can be tailored to suit your needs.

Ease your aching muscles and get set for a good nights sleep with a half price deep tissue massage this January. 

Massage works wonderfully alongside your regular Pilates practice to help improve mobility.
 
I would not be surprised if you were not aware that I am a fully qualified Sports Massage Therapist as it is not something I have actively promoted before 🙈.  This is an area of my business I would like to try and expand during 2022 so I have created this truly special offer to kick things off!🎉
 
You can use the offer multiple times throughout January so try it early as I promise you will want more!

You can come to me or I can come to you.  Price will vary depending on your location.

This felt like a good post to follow on from yesterday…

Diastasis Recti (DR), the separation of the abdominals AND a weakened midline fascia, 🚫 CANNOT 🚫 be prevented during pregnancy!

DR is a natural adaptation of our bodies to make space for baby – it is both normal and expected (and pretty clever!) - plus uncontrollable things like genetics and location of the placenta factor in! BUT we can control how we train/move and even breathe during pregnancy to help lessen the severity of the DR.

The best way to prepare for postpartum recovery is to adjust pregnancy exercise first.

If someone promises you they can help prevent DR during pregnancy RUN!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Our next block of pre-natal / pregnancy Pilates classes starts next week.  DM if you’re interested in learning more!

Been told you've got abdominal separation? Are you confused about what exercises you should and shouldn't do? Not sure where to start?🤯

That’s where I come in!

Diastasis Recti does not need to be feared. Yes there will be some women who will need to be referred to a specialist physiotherapist but the majority just need the right support and guidance.

The key is PERSONALISED PROGRESSIONS.. not something you will get off of YouTube sorry! 👀. My 6 week programs will guide you step-by-step back to the movement you love. Whatever that may be 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏇🏿⛷🤽‍♀️🧗‍♀️🚴‍♀️💃🏻

Next block starts Tuesday 11th Jan. Book your spot now!
