✨ A warm welcome back to everyone who has moved with me on the mat this week! ✨

It’s been so lovely to see you all again and to welcome some new faces too. 💛

This week we’ve been bringing together:

🌿 Pilates — to strengthen, align and support our bodies.

✨ FAMO fascia movement — to hydrate, connect and help us move with more freedom and ease.

🌬️ Breathwork — to reduce stress and help calm the nervous system.

A huge thank you for welcoming us so warmly into our new space at Reshape Chesterwell. 🧡 And, of course, it’s always so lovely to be back home at Stanway Lakelands Centre. 🤍

I’m feeling very grateful to be moving, breathing and connecting with you all each week.🙏

Here’s to another week of feeling stronger, freer and a little more grounded. ✨

🍁 Autumn Pilates classes — we’re back next week! 💫

Ready to move, breathe and feel good in your body this autumn? 🤍

My mixed-ability matwork Pilates classes are designed to help you move more freely, build strength and release stress, while also giving you a little time to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

We combine Pilates, fascia-focused movement and breathwork to help you feel stronger, more mobile and grounded — while supporting your nervous system too. 🌿

After nearly 10 years of teaching, I still love hearing how much this practice can positively impact everyday life — from feeling stronger and more comfortable in your body, to having more calm and ease in your day. ✨

🍂 The next block starts next week and is almost fully booked!

There are just a few remaining spaces in the Monday morning sessions at the lovely Lakelands Centre, Stanway.

If you’d like to find out more, secure a place or be added to the waiting list, just get in touch. 💌

I’d love to welcome you to class! 🤍

Slowing down and finding peace in nature is what it’s all about ✨🌿🤍

THIS is why we do breathwork at the end of every class…

🤍Calm the nervous system and shift the body out of “fight-or-flight” in minutes.

🤍Reduce the stress hormone cortisol

🤍Lower blood pressure

🤍Help sleep

🤍Optimise blood flow to the brain to help manage feelings of overwhelm.

🤍Sharpen daily focus.

🤍Slow, controlled exhalations activate the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress and depressive symptoms.

🤍To aid physical recovery - techniques like diaphragmatic breathing improve oxygen delivery & the removal of waste products (like lactic acid) from muscles post-exercise.

🤍We breathe for the exhausted Mamas at the end of term trying to do it all! 💛🫶💛
