A little look inside Club Nest for you šŸ‘€šŸ¾

This is what Strong into Spring actually looks like in a lot of Nestie lounge rooms right now - mats rolled out, moves underway... and of course, some very committed four-legged co-instructors making sure nobody’s form slips while they’re not looking.

This is genuinely what it’s like. No studio, no gym gear, no getting in the car. Just you, your mat, and whoever else decides to join in (pets very much included).

If you’ve ever wondered what doing Pilates with us actually looks like day to day - this is it. Real homes, real moments, real movement, wherever you can fit it in.

If that’s something you’d love to try for yourself, I’m running a free class - 3 Simple Secrets to Moving with Ease Again - on 14, 16 & 17 September. Come see what it’s all about.

Comment SECRETS and I’ll send you the info ā˜ŗļø

Who else has a pet that loves to help with Pilates?? 🐶🐈

If you’ve been feeling stiff, stuck, or like your body just doesn’t move the way it used to - this one’s for you.

I’m running my signature free class for women 50+ who want to feel less stiff and start moving more freely again - no matter where you’re starting from. No experience needed. No equipment needed. Just you, showing up as you are.

This class is your very first step - not a full workout, just three simple secrets that help shift that stiffness and get your body moving again. It’s the starting point for so many women in our Nest community, and it might be yours too.

Comment ā€œSECRETSā€ below and I’ll send you the details to register.

Bring a friend who needs this too.

Stiff and sore? Let's change that! šŸ’«šŸŒø

I'm running my signature FREE online Pilates class for women 50+ - 3 Simple Secrets to Moving with Ease Again - and I'm not exaggerating when I say these three shifts have changed how hundreds of women feel in their bodies.

Three session times to choose from - September 14, 16 or 17 - so you can grab whichever one actually fits your week. And this is the last time this year I'll be running these classes live, so if you've been meaning to try Pilates, this is your chance.

Come exactly as you are - join from your couch, your lounge room floor, or even your bed. No equipment, no experience needed, no getting dressed up. Just you, wherever you're comfortable.

If mornings feel like a negotiation with your own body, or you've just noticed everything's gotten a bit tighter and harder than it used to be - these three secrets are exactly what's going to shift that.

Comment "SECRETS" and I'll send you everything you need to grab your spot. šŸ’¬

Let's move into spring feeling lighter, freer, and ready for whatever's next.

ā€œWithout thinking, I stood to put my socks on the other morning and I did not wobble anymore.ā€

That’s Helen, 58, from Mildura - and honestly, this is exactly why I do what I do.

She didn’t set out to test herself that morning. She wasn’t thinking about Pilates at all. She just noticed, almost in passing, that something her body used to struggle with had quietly gotten easier - without her even trying.

That’s what real, consistent movement does. It doesn’t announce itself. It just shows up one ordinary morning, in an ordinary moment, and you realise your body can do something it couldn’t before.

Helen does her classes as recordings, fitting them in around her own life - and she’s stuck with it, three classes a week, ā€œnothing gets in my way.ā€

If putting your socks on, bending down, or getting up off the floor has started to feel harder than it used to - this is what’s possible on the other side of a bit of consistent, gentle movement.

Pain isn’t something to push through - here’s what to do instead.

A Nestie recently asked me what to do when her elbow starts hurting during moves using hand weights. It’s such a good question, because the answer applies way beyond just the elbow.

Here’s what I’d try, in order:

Reduce the weight. Sometimes the simplest fix is the right one - drop down to a lighter set, or no weight at all for that particular move.

Ditch the weights altogether. Bodyweight is still real strengthening work. There’s no rule that says every move needs added load every time.

Shorten the lever. Bending the elbow more (rather than working with a straighter arm) reduces the strain on the joint while still working the same muscles.

Modifying a move isn’t giving up on it. It’s exactly how you keep showing up for your body, week after week, for the long run - which is the whole game.

If something doesn’t feel right in a class, don’t push through it and don’t abandon the move either. Just scale it back until it feels good again. That’s not doing Pilates ā€œwrongā€ - that’s doing it exactly right for you.

Club Nest is for women who want to keep up with the grandkids, get off the floor with ease, sit cross-legged again, feel steady on their feet - or just remember what it feels like to move without thinking twice about it.

These are our Nesties. Real women, living real, full lives - sewing retreats, overseas holidays, outback adventures, endless visits to the kids and grandkids, hours spent folded onto tiny chairs at toddler tea parties, caring for the people they love. All the things that make up this second half of life.

Every single one of them decided their body deserved to keep up with everything they wanted to do - not just get through the day, but actually enjoy it.

That’s what this is all about.

I’m so proud of all of our Nesties every single day šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ’–šŸ’–

You might have never realised this, but it’s something I want you to know.

This is a snippet from my Nest Notes newsletter this morning - and the words are more important than you think.

I believe this is the missing piece of the puzzle for so many women.

Yes, you need to be moving your body, strengthening, working on your balance and mobility. 100%.

But you don’t need to go from 0-100 in one step.

That’s how women burn out and give up.

That’s where so many programs leave you feeling deflated and incapable.

At Nest, our members journey usually starts here… They sign up to the free newsletter and start implementing my little tips and tricks into their day to day life - they slowly build up consistency - and they slowly begin to notice how tiny snippets of movement can actually make a noticeable difference in their body - particularly stiffness and flexibility. This gives them hope.

Then, when they sign up to Club Nest, they have the option to do 5-10 minute beginner classes to start off. Building up to 30 minute beginner classes. Then onto regular classes and strength focussed classes.

Ladies come into Club Nest at vastly different fitness and mobility levels. Nesties can literally stick with the short gentle flows and beginner classes and still notice positive changes in their body over time.

This is where we see proof of the exact statement in the screenshot above.

You don’t need to join a program and go hell for leather from the get go to notice results.

What you need to do is find something that you can confidently and consistently build on over time - knowing that every time you show up, you are literally improving your body every time, no matter how small the movement is.

At Nest, we understand what you need - and we understand that it takes time to get there. One tiny snippet of movement at a time. šŸ’–

Here's something I want you to hear today: those tiny moves you do from bed, they count. 🐣

Small, purposeful movement done consistently is exactly what shifts stiffness over time. You don't need to feel "ready" for the proper version, the small stuff often IS the proper version.

Tomorrow, Nest Notes wraps up our Gentle Movement series, and I've put every move from the last four weeks together into one free printable you can keep by your bed. Morning, evening, anytime, all in one place.

Not on the list yet? Comment NEWSLETTER and we'll get you sorted before it lands tomorrow.
