"Sexed-up classes, dodgy machines: have we hit peak Pilates?
It’s the fastest-growing fitness phenomenon of 2024 and David Beckham says it has given him the ‘best body of his life’. But could new, unsafe versions of Pilates be its downfall?". Read the article in ...."Those sorts of classes can be a great workout. But don’t call them Pilates. If you want the adrenaline, the music, the pretty images for your social media… they’re not Pilates classes, they’re fitness classes. It’s ‘fitness on a reformer’. It’s ‘HIIT on a reformer’. Don’t call it Pilates.”. YES, YES AND YES! 💯 👋. Finally the penny has dropped that this new trend is not Pilates. It is disguised as Pilates, called Pilates but so far removed from the original work. 💁‍♀️Choose your studio and your teacher wisely. Too many machines in a studio is a warning sign 🛑, fast and furious classes another warning bell, disregard for safety and no precise cueing another one ⚠️, frequent changes in teachers is also an indicator. Finally claims that you will get a 🍑 bottom in 2 weeks or that you will have a "summer" body in 4 are all false. Your well being and your safety should always be the studio and the teacher's priority.

Free foot massage anyone? 👣. The sand exfoliates the sole of your feet. No need for a fancy foot scrub. Walking barefoot in the sand is bliss ✨. It strengthens your foot and your ankle joints too. Your foot will be going through its full range of motion. Your muscles will have to work harder in the sand. Plus it's so relaxing. Walking on the beach; the sound of the waves 🌊, the gentle breeze, the sun ☀️, the smell of salt, seaweed and iodine.... Take your shoes off next time you go to the seaside and feel the stress melt away 🕉️🧘‍♀️

Lots to be thankful for! ✨☀️🌿. Did you know that a single act of thoughtful gratitude produces an immediate 10% increase in happiness, and a 35% reduction in depressive symptoms? These effects disappeared within three to six months, which reminds us to practice gratitude over and over on the mat or elsewhere 🕉️♎🧘🏻‍♀️.
What are you grateful for? 🙏

Are you happy with your body? Perhaps yes, perhaps not. Maybe parts of it yes and maybe not others. Whatever your body looks like to you, it is worth your respect. It is the only one that you can work with. Over the years my body has changed with circumstances of life, with age, with what it was encountering at the time. It is a process. I have found that focusing on what my body can achieve rather than what it looks like is a game changer. Start moving mindfully and you might be amazed to discover how much it can do. Your body of yesterday is not the one you have today nor will your body of today be the one of tomorrow. Now is what you can act upon. You cannot change the past and you don't know the future. However how you think of and treat yourself now, including your body will influence your future. Keep moving with compassion! ❤️

Getting started is the hardest part of any endeavour. Once you find the courage to make that very first step, what comes after seems easier. You have to believe truly that you can and you will. Then one step at a time, you move on and progress. It's not an easy ride. Nothing good comes easy. With commitment, perseverance and consistency anything is possible. The same applies to fitness. My specialism is Pilates. If you'd like to start your Pilates journey, I am here to support you. Come and join my beginner class in Elmbridge Canoe Club on Wednesdays at 10:45. Small friendly, welcoming and inclusive group. Everyone is welcome regardless of level of fitness, ability, body shape, gender and/ or age Message me to book 💟.

My Story... In short :) See timetable below for schedule of classes

Hi everyone! I am a Body Control Pilates teacher and member of the Body Control Pilates Association. I am certified to teach mat and equipment (Reformer, Ladder Barrel, Wunda Chair, Cadillac and Springboard). I would describe myself as a contemporay eclectic teacher who loves creating and trying out different exercises. Using the principles of Pilates I am passionate about exploring movement using various resources such as primal movements, Yoga teachings, breathing techniques, balance training, standing work etc. I believe in teaching who I have in front of me rather than sticking to formula-type lesson plans. My style of teaching is inclusive, adapted and relaxing. I am a dedicated student of Yoga and Buddhist meditation in my spare time and I strive to bring some of these elements in my teaching.

Qualifications:
