What an amazing week we’ve had in Dorset. Just us!
Everyday adventures and fun. It’s like our second home now. 🚤 ☀️ 🌳 🛶
And as I always preach to everyone… being outdoors amongst nature enjoying the woods, sea and sun has been the best medicine for one very tired mummy. Totally recharged now and ready for a summer!

This is how I’m spending my summer… outdoors, immersed in nature moving my body and resting my mind ☀️ 🌳 🌊

And I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for you to join me. Either on the beach or in the woods. Both equally have their benefits and I can never decide which I love more. The sea or the trees. 🤔 Well luckily I don’t have to choose 😉 and neither do you….
I’m offering Pilates classes at Chalkwell Beach and Belfairs woods this summer. Classes are accessible to all and all current dates and how to book are in my pinned posts.

The next dates for Outdoor classes are:-
🌳 Belfairs woods-9th May 8-9:45am
🏝️ Chalkwell Beach-10th May 8-9am

I look forward to sharing these experiences with you 🙏🏼

We are back for our 8th Summer running. And I know this year the weather is going to be incredible… sunshine ☀️ every Sunday.

Practicing pilates outside in nature isn’t just good for the body, it’s good for the soul.

Every class starts with a breathwork practice, followed by a relaxing warm up and then into our gentle pilates flow. We always finish with a guided relaxation 🙌🏼

If this sounds like something you need in your life then join us every Sunday morning at 8am at Chalkwell Beach…. Look out for my sign 😉

Every year my friends and I travel to a different part of the UK to walk! That’s it, we walk! We pick a beautiful trail to follow and this year we chose The Ingleton Waterfall trail in Yorkshire… and it did not disappoint… Run the VT 🌳

🌳 •Pilates in the Woods is Back!• 🌳

I am so delighted to return to Belfairs Woods and join to help raise money and bring a community together to enjoy every aspect of moving, breathing and meditating amongst nature.

The benefits to being surrounded by trees and soil and wild animals is endless but to incorporate movement with mindfulness only enhances this practice.

We meet at the woodland centre to gather troups. Take a delightful stroll into the forest. Settle in to a pre chosen spot away from the footpath. Enjoy gentle breathwork and pilates movements. Followed by a 20 minute guided meditation. We then return to the Woodland centre to indulge in any chosen hot drink and cake 😋

I promise you’ll feel truly grounded with a wonderful sense of well being after this practice.

Whether you’re a seasoned pilates pro or a complete beginner EVERYBODY is welcome.

Just wear weather appropriate clothing, grab a mat (I can provide one if needed) and join us for our first event on Saturday 9th May.

To book your space please call the Woodland centre on 01702 477467

I look forward to seeing you there. 🍃

Please contact me if you have any questions

Sending love
