Always learning 💛

Today I spent the day continuing my education with Jeannie Di Bon, studying The Integral Movement Method for Hypermobility.

We explored hypermobility in much more depth, including pain mechanisms, biomechanics, the nervous system and, importantly, how movement and exercise can be adapted to better support people with hypermobile bodies.

We also spent time learning more about Ehlers Danlos syndromes (EDS) and the wider picture of living with chronic illness and complex conditions, and how these can affect someone’s experience of pain, fatigue, movement and exercise.

One of the things I love about Pilates is that there really is no “one size fits all” approach. Two people can walk into a class with completely different bodies, histories, strengths and challenges, and understanding those differences helps me to teach the person in front of me, rather than simply teach an exercise.

Hypermobility is something I see regularly within my work, I also have it myself and it’s an area where thoughtful, appropriate movement can be incredibly valuable. It isn’t simply about being “really flexible”. Stability, strength, control, confidence in movement and understanding pain can all play an important part.

After many years of teaching, I still genuinely love learning more about our amazing bodies and bringing that knowledge back into my classes and 1:1 sessions to help you all as best I can 🌟

What a day! 🧘🏻‍♀️ 🧠 📚😁

✨ YOUR WEEK AT ONPOINTE PILATES ✨

September is here 🍂 and if you’ve been thinking about getting back into a routine, moving your body more, feeling stronger or simply doing something that’s just for you, this could be the perfect time.

We have friendly, mixed ability Pilates classes running throughout the week in Allington and South Darenth, plus options to join us online from home too.

At OnPointe Pilates, it’s not about being the most flexible person in the room. It’s about helping you:

✨ Move more freely
✨ Build strength and improve mobility
✨ Support your back, joints and posture
✨ Feel more confident in your body
✨ Take an hour out of your week for YOU
✨ Meet a lovely, welcoming community

And if you’ve never tried us before, your first taster class is completely FREE. 🤍

Have a look at our weekly timetable below 👇 and find a class that works for you.

🍂 BACK TO SCHOOL… BACK TO YOU? 🍂

The kids are heading back to school, summer is coming to an end, and suddenly we’re moving back into that familiar autumn routine.

But before the rest of the year disappears… what are you going to do for YOU?

There are still four whole months left of this year. Four months to feel stronger, move better, have more energy and make looking after yourself part of your week. 💛

If you’re feeling a little stiff, achy or worn out after the summer, or you simply know your body needs a bit more attention, this could be the perfect time to start Pilates.

At OnPointe Pilates, our classes are about so much more than an hour of exercise.

✨ Build strength and improve your core
✨ Move more freely and confidently
✨ Improve mobility, balance and posture
✨ Help with everyday aches and stiffness
✨ Take an hour out of your week that is genuinely for YOU
✨ Meet a lovely group of local people and have a laugh along the way!

Our Allington classes are usually full, so spaces don’t come up very often. But right now I have just 3 spaces available at St Nicholas Church Hall:

🩷 Monday 9:30–10:30am — 1 space
🩷 Wednesday 7:30–8:30pm — 2 spaces

And you don’t need to commit without knowing whether we’re right for you.

👉 Come and try a class completely FREE first!

Simply register for your free taster here:
https://bit.ly/FreeTasterOnPointePilates

You don’t need to already be flexible, fit or “good at Pilates”. You just need to come as you are. We’ll take it from there. 😊

Maybe September doesn’t need to be about setting yourself huge goals.

Maybe it’s simply about deciding that your body deserves an hour of your attention each week too.

🍂 Back to school. Back to routine. Back to YOU. 💛

☀️ Paddleboard Pilates on the lake 🏄‍♀️ 🧘‍♀️

What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning and enjoy the last weekend of August! 💛

We were so lucky with the weather today. The sunshine came back out, the lake was calm and we had the perfect conditions for our Paddleboard Pilates session.

It was brilliant to welcome back some familiar faces who haven’t been out on the lake for a while, as well as some new faces and a few people trying paddleboarding for the very first time!

After a little paddle around the lake, we linked ourselves together and settled in for a fun, gentle Pilates class on the boards.

It’s amazing how different even the simplest Pilates exercises feel when you take them onto the water! A little extra balance, plenty of core work, lots of concentration and quite a few laughs along the way. 😆 And most importantly… everyone stayed dry! 🙌😂

We finished with some lovely stretching, relaxation and a little mindfulness, taking a few moments to enjoy being outside in nature. 🌿

Thank you so much to everyone who joined me this morning, and a big welcome to those who were joining us for the first time. 💛

Here are a few photos of everyone in action… 📸

What a lovely way to round off August! ☀️💦

🌿 PILATES RETREAT AFTERNOON 🌿

Saturday 10th October | 1pm to 5pm

✨ BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN! ✨

Fancy stepping away from everyday life for a few hours?

An afternoon where you don’t need to rush anywhere, organise anything or think about your never ending to do list. Just four gorgeous hours to move your body, switch off, have some fun, try something different and enjoy some proper time for YOU. 🤍

That’s exactly what our OnPointe Pilates Retreat Afternoon is all about.

And I’m so excited because this time I’ll be joined by my lovely friend and fellow Pilates instructor Vivian. Vivian and I have been friends for over 10 years, and we’re bringing our experience together to create a really varied, fun and relaxing afternoon.

🌿 So, what have we got planned?

✨ Pilates with spiky balls
We’ll use our spiky massage balls within a Pilates session to explore movement, mobility, body awareness and release. It feels SO good!

✨ Mini trampoline rebounding taster
Something completely different! Vivian will be bringing along the mini trampolines and taking us through a fun and energising introduction to rebounding. Expect movement, music and probably plenty of laughter!

✨ Partner Pilates
We’ll pair up for a playful Pilates session exploring strength, balance, coordination and connection. Coming by yourself? Absolutely no problem. We’ll pair everyone up on the day. 🤍

✨ Mindfulness & deep relaxation
After all that lovely movement, we’ll slow everything right down. Time to get comfortable, breathe, switch off and enjoy some proper relaxation.

☕️ Tea, cake & connection 🍰
Because no OnPointe retreat afternoon would be complete without tea and cake! We’ll have time to sit, chat, laugh and simply enjoy being together too.

This isn’t about being the fittest, strongest or most flexible person in the room.

It’s about moving, laughing, relaxing, connecting and giving yourself an afternoon away from normal life.

Come by yourself or bring a friend. All abilities are welcome and we’ll look after you throughout. 💛

🌿 EARLY BIRD BOOKING 🌿

OnPointe Members £44
Non Members £49.50

✨ Early Bird prices are available until 13th September.

Your booking includes the full four hour retreat afternoon, all sessions and activities, equipment, tea and cake.

Spaces are limited, so if you’ve been thinking that you could really do with a few hours dedicated entirely to yourself…

This is your sign. 🥰

A little look back at last week’s Pilates 💛

You all did SO well working with our blocks as our prop of the week!

Adding props into our Pilates sessions isn’t just about keeping things fresh and interesting, although I absolutely love that part of it! Changing the way we work can give both our body AND our brain a whole new challenge. 🧠💪

Last week our blocks helped us explore:

✨ Balance and stability
✨ Core strength and control
✨ Body awareness and coordination
✨ Mobility and stretching
✨ Waking up muscles that sometimes like to stay a little quiet!

Even familiar Pilates exercises can feel completely different when we introduce a prop, change our position or ask the body to respond in a slightly different way. It keeps us learning, adapting and progressing rather than simply going through the motions.

And, most importantly, it keeps our classes varied, interesting and FUN! 🙌

So well done to everyone who joined me last week. You absolutely smashed it. 💛

We’ll be including spiky ball Pilates, a mini trampoline rebounding taster, partner Pilates, mindfulness and deep relaxation, plus time to enjoy tea and cake together in a lovely peaceful setting in Wrotham kent ☕🍰

The idea is simple: an afternoon to switch off, move your body, try something new, have some fun, laugh and leave feeling completely recharged. 💛

✨ Early Bird booking details will be released very soon, with bookings opening at the beginning of September.

For now…

💙 COME AND TRY PADDLEBOARD PILATES! 🧘‍♀️🏄‍♀️

Fancy swapping your Pilates mat for a paddleboard and taking your practice onto the water? 💦

Join me on Sunday 30th August at 10.30am at Mote Park Watersports Centre for a very special Social Paddle & Paddleboard Pilates session.

And if you’re one of my regular Pilates clients and have always wondered what Paddleboard Pilates is like, this is your chance to give it a go!

You don’t need to be a regular paddleboarder. This isn’t a paddleboarding lesson, but you’ll have the opportunity to get onto a board, join us on the water and experience Pilates on a completely different kind of mat! 😂

We’ll link our boards together for a fun Pilates session incorporating:

✨ Core work
✨ Balance & stability
✨ Mobility & stretching
✨ Relaxation
✨ And plenty of fun!

The paddleboard adds a whole new challenge to Pilates. Your core has to work that little bit harder, your balance gets tested and even familiar exercises suddenly feel completely different!

If you already paddleboard, you can also join us for a gentle social paddle before the Pilates.

📅 Sunday 30th August
⏰ 10.30am – 12pm
📍 Mote Park Watersports Centre

💙 Fancy giving Pilates on a paddleboard a try?

Spaces are limited, so pre-booking is essential.

Come and join me for some Pilates, fresh air, water and hopefully sunshine! ☀️🧘‍♀️🏄‍♀️

✨ A little Pilates thought for your Tuesday…

Pilates isn’t about being the strongest person in the room, touching your toes, holding the perfect plank or getting every exercise “right”.

It’s about connecting with your body.

Noticing when you’re holding tension.
Learning how to move with a little more ease.
Standing a little taller.
Breathing a little deeper.
Feeling stronger and more confident in what your body can do. 💛

Some days you’ll feel strong and everything flows beautifully.

Other days your balance disappears, your coordination has apparently taken the day off and an exercise you’ve done 100 times suddenly feels impossible! 😂

And that’s absolutely fine.

Your body is different every single day, and part of Pilates is learning to work with it rather than constantly fighting against it.

So wherever you are today, take a moment to roll your shoulders back, lengthen through your spine, take one lovely deep breath…

…and appreciate your body for everything it does for you. 🥰

Movement doesn’t have to be perfect to be good for you 💛
