Northern Pilates

Northern Pilates Pilates beginners-advanced exercises to improve core strength, hence reducing/managing back pain and associated problems.

Exercises also balance the body, stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak muscles.

Inner thighs are, in my opinion, one of the hardest muscle groups to target without gym equipment. They are responsible for drawing the legs inwards and stabilising the pelvis.

I have been mentioning ankle weights all week in class last week and they are such a good investment as they can also be used on our wrists when we do our upper body focus.

I’ll mention more on my story about ankle weights later. The ones I’m wearing here are 1.5kg each.

These exercises are just a snippet of what we did in class this week. Well done everyone!

Mobility Stretching

At the beginning of every class we do several mobility stretches in order to prepare our joints and muscles for the exercises on the mat.

These stretches are constantly moving and help to improve our range of movement and reduce risk of injury. Also lubricating the joints and allowing the body to move more freely.

I rarely include developmental/static stretches at the end of class now except the very last class of the ‘block’ which is our wind down and relax class.

Look out for more details about stretching, pros and cons………

What a fab week getting back to class after a week off! Thank you everyone 🙏

Lovely Kathryn has attended 3 classes this week 💓

She was on holiday for a couple of weeks so made up for these missed classes by slotting into my other classes at different venues.

I offer a mixture of online and in person classes. My timetables are in the highlights and on my story.

I am making a few changes and adding some of our extra one off classes soon too.

All bookings are made directly with me, no booking apps, just message me.

As life is busy I always offer the opportunity to join a different class to your regular class as I would rather you didn’t miss. Consistency is key!

If you just can’t make it to class then I send you a 40 minute video to do at home in your own time as many times as you like.

Please message me or email [email protected] to join 🌟

It’s flip flop season…..

Some of you know how much I don’t like flip flops. Don’t get me wrong, I have some and wear them occasionally but never if I’m walking any distance.

Not only are they bad for your feet:
👣 no arch support could cause ligament damage and plantar fasciitis
👣 constant gripping with toes can result in cramping, poor gait and posture
👣 flimsy sole without any cushioning and no stability increases risk of falling

Wearing them regularly can lead to back, hip and knee injuries.

I also feel the same about the ballet slipper shoes the girls wear for school. Brogues would be much better but I can’t get my daughter to wear them and I’ve never seen any girls at school in them.

Don’t throw away your flip flops 🩴 just don’t wear them all summer 🥰

Last night with my Friday Pilates group.

These lovely ladies are from the Friday Pilates class I go to each week with Northern Pilates , taught by the brilliant Zoe.

I don’t teach this class, I’m just another person on the mat, but it’s a great reminder of something I see all the time in fitness.

When people think about starting exercise they often focus on things like weight loss or getting fitter. Those things are great — but something people don’t always expect is how much community can come with it.

Joining a class can mean:
✨ Getting out of the house
✨ Having a regular thing in the diary
✨ Feeling part of something
✨ Seeing the same friendly faces each week
✨ And occasionally ending up on a night out together!

And as someone who now works in fitness myself, I know just how powerful that can be.

Still in a little bubble after our blissful weekend in the stunning Yorkshire Dales 🤍

I felt so at ease and happy with the beautiful ladies and man who came on my retreat. I want to do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing! 💞

The hosts were so attentive and couldn’t do enough for us, the food was delicious and plentiful. The venue was so welcome and homely 🤗

Weather couldn’t have been kinder and everyone got along so well. New friends were made and we are all hoping to meet up again on our next one 💓

We had lovely gifts bags with merchandise from and beauty products from lovely Julie 😍

Saturday evening was extra special as we had a wonderful soundbath with gorgeous Sarah 💖

Look out for our next date in The Dales and more new and exciting retreat news which I’m planning over the next few weeks xx
