A little Pilates update because I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately 😊

We’re a few weeks into our first term now and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how the Canyonleigh and Exeter classes are going already.

It’s been so lovely meeting new faces and watching everyone settle in, grow in confidence and start feeling stronger each week. I really love the little community that’s forming around these classes 🤍

And how beautiful is this space at Canyonleigh Retreat? Such a lovely place to start the week, especially with a coffee afterwards ☕️

There are a few spots available in both classes if you’ve been thinking about coming along.

📍 Mondays 10.30am – Canyonleigh Retreat
📍 Tuesdays 10.30am – Exeter Village Hall

Feel free to send me a message if you’d like more info 😊

I’m so excited to be starting a new mat Pilates class in Exeter ✨

I’ll be running an intro class on Tuesday 14th April, a chance to come along, try it and see if it feels right for you before committing.

From there, classes will run as an 8 week term starting Tuesday 28th April at 10.30am in Exeter. We’ll focus on building strength, stability and confidence over time.

I’m also looking to run more classes in the near future, possibly in different locations. I’m currently looking at Canyonleigh, but open to other areas too, so if you’re interested, I’d love to hear from you!

If you’d like to come along to the Exeter intro class, send me a message and I’ll share the details 💛

If the idea of a big Pilates class feels a bit intimidating, this might be just what you're looking for ✨

I’m now offering private and shared mat Pilates sessions from my private studio in Werai, just outside of Moss Vale.

These sessions are a lovely option if you’d prefer something smaller and more personal or if you’d feel more comfortable starting with someone you know.

Options include:
Private sessions (1:1)
Shared sessions (1:2)
Small private groups (1:3)

Sessions take place in my private studio in Werai and I can also travel to you across the Southern Highlands if you’d prefer Pilates in your own space.

If you have a larger group of friends who’d like to move together, private group sessions can also be arranged.

If Pilates has been sitting quietly in the back of your mind or you and a friend have been saying “we should try Pilates together”, this might be a lovely place to begin.

Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to chat about what might suit you.

Find the women who celebrate you.

The ones who cheer you on.
Who laugh with you.
Who remind you not to take life too seriously.

I feel incredibly grateful for the women in my life who bring that kind of energy.

Happy International Women’s Day 🤍

Speed can hide instability.
Slow shows you the truth.

The truth is where strength improves.

When you move slowly, you can feel what’s actually working and what isn’t.

That’s where real progress starts.
A reminder I’m coming back to this week 🤍

No one really prepares us for this stage.

We reach our peak bone density in early adulthood. From our mid-30s, we begin to lose a small amount each year. After menopause that rate of loss increases.

And most of the time, we don’t feel it happening.

There’s no obvious sign.
No ache that tells us something is changing.
It’s happening quietly in the background.

Bone is living tissue. It responds to load. To resistance. To progressive strength.

Which means this isn’t something we can just “wait and see” about.

Muscle strength, balance and weight-bearing work all play a role in protecting bone. And that’s what protects long-term independence.

Gentle movement has its place. But if we want to properly support our bones, strength needs to be part of the picture.

From April, I’ll be running a strength-focused bone health class in Exeter for women who want to train with longevity in mind.

Because feeling strong now is one thing.
Staying strong later matters just as much💛

I love that moment in class.

When everyone’s just in it. Breathing. Focusing. Working hard, but it doesn’t feel chaotic.

It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing it well.
And doing it with women who are showing up for themselves too.

No pressure. No competition. Just steady progress.

That’s the kind of space I’m building here.

If you’ve ever been curious about Pilates but felt unsure, feel free to message me. I’m always happy to chat 🤍

Control is the foundation of strength.

Five controlled reps will always do more than twenty rushed ones.

This is what I’m returning to in my own movement right now. Slowing down. Rebuilding foundations. Choosing quality over volume.

Strength isn’t just effort. It’s control.

If you can’t slow it down, you don’t quite own it yet.

A reminder I needed too.

Save this for your next session 🤍

Not everyone wants to walk into a busy studio.

Some people want space.
Clarity.
To actually understand what their body is doing.

If you’d rather move without pressure, comparison or trying to keep up, private 1:1 sessions might feel like a better fit.

We focus on foundations.
Stability first.
Strength that supports you long term.

No guessing.
No pushing through discomfort.
Just structured, thoughtful movement that makes sense for your body.

I teach from my home studio in Werai, Southern Highlands.

If you’re feeling unsure but curious, send me a message and we can chat 🤍

Pilates online can look intimidating sometimes.

Perfect lighting. Perfect outfits. Perfect bodies.

If you’re feeling stiff by the afternoon, a bit tired, or out of practice, it’s easy to think it’s not for you.

But Pilates was never meant to be about looking impressive.

For me, it’s about feeling steady again. It’s about hips that don’t ache by 3pm, a lower back that feels supported, and strength that carries you through everyday life.

Not for show. For longevity.

You don’t need to be flexible first. You don’t need to get fit before you start. You don’t need to keep up with anyone.

You just need a space that meets you where you are.

That’s the kind of space I’m building here.

I run small group mat classes and also offer private one-to-one sessions if you’d prefer something more individual.

If you’ve been quietly wondering whether Pilates might help, feel free to message me 🤍

Stability first. Everything else after.

We’re often in a hurry to progress. But when we slow down and build stability first, everything changes.

Movement feels steadier. Joints feel supported. Confidence builds naturally.

Do you strong but not quite steady?
