The best Pilates teachers don’t just teach exercises. They teach the person in front of them.

At Three Breaths, we believe great Pilates teaching goes far beyond a good playlist, a challenging workout or calling out instructions.

It’s about noticing the little things. How you’re moving, how you’re breathing, when you need more challenge and when you need a little more support.

It’s remembering how you moved last week. Recognising your progress before you’ve even noticed it yourself. Understanding that what you need from a class today might be completely different from what you needed yesterday.

We want you to feel like more than just another person on a reformer.

We want you to feel seen, understood, supported and genuinely cared for.

Because behind every great Pilates class should be a teacher who is paying attention, who understands movement and who never stops learning.

That’s the standard we believe in at Three Breaths. And it’s the standard we’ll always keep working towards. Huge thanks to Tracy Dawber Umhlanga Pilates, Merrithew lead instructor trainer for an incredible week of learning 💥 🤍

MORE THAN MOVEMENT. 🤎

Friday morning yoga & Pilates followed by coffee, croissants and a very good catch-up with our lovely members Jungle

And this is one of the things I love most about Three Breaths.

We’re not just a Pilates and yoga studio that happens to be in Clitheroe. This is our home, we love Clitheroe, we know the people, we support the independent businesses and we’re incredibly proud of the community we’ve built around our little studio.

Around that table were people of different ages, backgrounds and walks of life, including some brilliant local business owners. Friendships, connections and a genuine sense of people looking out for one another.

Of course, exceptional teaching and a beautiful studio experience will always be at the heart of Three Breaths. But it’s mornings like these that make it so much more than somewhere you come for a class.

And we’re doing it all again this Saturday, this time with our good friend Seb Mad Otter Club our talented Ribble Valley private chef, dropping his burritos to our Saturday morning Reformer classes.

We’re proud of the studio we’ve created. But the people? They’re what make it special.

And a little shout-out to some of the people & wonderful independent businesses in our Friday pic 🙌

Two years of Kathy 🤍

You don’t just feel seen by Kathy. You feel held. You feel cared for. And it comes from the most genuine and sincere place.

She’s kind, caring, absolutely hilarious and will always go the extra mile for anyone who needs her. Quite simply, she’s a legend, and loved by everyone.

Every Saturday morning she brings the vibes to Clitheroe, along with plenty of laughs and, of course, her now legendary sing-song Feet in Straps finale 🎶😂

Kathy, you are such a special part of Three Breaths and we absolutely adore you 🤍

🎂 We’re celebrating two years of Three Breaths Clitheroe with our first birthday events on Sunday 4th October 🤍

We’ll be starting the celebrations with a beautiful Sound Bath and Classical Mat class. Two special sessions designed to move, breathe and reset together.

🌟 These sessions are complimentary as a thank you for being part of our Three Breaths community 🤍

Both events are now fully booked, but you can still add yourself to the waitlist in case a space becomes available.

More birthday celebration announcements coming soon 👀

Whenever I look back over a class plan, I’m always amazed at just how much we fit into 50 minutes.

This week we warmed up on the mat with Teasers before moving into Stomach Massage & Footwork. Two rounds of planks made an appearance too, followed by this Long Box series with Pulling Straps into Teaser.

And, of course, we finished with Feet in Straps. Some things are non-negotiable 🤍

It was a tough class. But our members are strong 💪

They’re used to practising more advanced exercises, with layers and progressions so everyone has somewhere that feels good to work.

One of the principles we really focus on through STOTT PILATES is creating a balanced session that takes the spine through its different movement patterns, rather than simply stringing together exercises that feel hard.

So there’s thought behind the whole class. Flexion, extension, rotation and lateral flexion. Strength, mobility, & control.

The foundations come first. Then the layers. Then the progression.

And week after week, all of that practice adds up to some seriously strong, capable bodies.

This is Pilates at Three Breaths.

100 times walking through our doors. Hundreds of springs changed, socks forgotten, teasers attempted and “just one more” promises that turned out not to be true 🤣

But mostly, 100 times choosing to move, get stronger and take a little time for themselves.

It’s amazing what happens when showing up for yourself simply becomes part of what you do 💪

August. You were FULL. 🤍

Three boys. Six weeks of summer holidays. A business to run. And somehow… one of my favourite summers yet.

A big thank you to the brilliant sports clubs that kept the boys moving (and helped keep me sane 😂) TAG Sports North West Sale Sharks Foundation Junction 4 Skatepark SENDER BIKEPARK - MTB GUIDES AND COACHES

We squeezed in 10 days in Scotland. Mountains climbed, miles walked, paddleboards paddled, lochs swum and plenty of trying to keep up with three boys who NEVER get tired.

And it reminded me, yet again, why I do Pilates.

Not to be good at Pilates.

To be strong enough to do all of this.

To climb, carry, paddle, walk for miles and say yes when the boys want another adventure.

Meanwhile, Three Breaths had a seriously busy August. New faces through the doors, full classes and more members joining our 100 Club 🤍

And perhaps the best bit?

Realising I can disappear to Scotland with my family for 10 days and the studio carries on doing what it does best.

A brilliant team. A brilliant community. And a business I’m very proud of.

August was busy, chaotic, active and definitely not restful.

But it was bloody brilliant.

Turns out, you don’t always need a slower life.

Sometimes you just need a strong body to keep up with the one you’ve got. 🤍
