As we move into the Ber months we naturally want to slow down and stay snuggly inside. To honour this season I would like to invite you to come and get cosy under a warm blanket and let the beautiful sounds of Crystal bowls and chimes wash over you. This creates a lovely feeling of calm and rest and helps to rebalance your body and mind.
I hold this space for everyone and nothing is required of you 🙏🏼

I look forward to you joining me this Sunday at 7:30pm at Mayura Yoga Thorpe Bay.

How long do you think it takes to set up for a sound bath? and this video doesn’t include me unloading the car 🤪
As I’m setting up I like to set my intentions for the evening. I play my fave and think about how I want the sound journey to go and how I want my ladies to feel. What instruments I’m going to play and then I smudge the room to clear and move the energy. Lasts nights group were really receptive and I want to thank you all for joining me 🙏🏼

Join me for my next Sound Bath on Sunday 20th September at 7:30pm at Mayura Yoga Thorpe Bay.

I understand that it can be so difficult to devote time to yourself. There’s always a reason to not go for a walk or cancel plans with friends or avoid the gym. But when we actually do set some time aside to indulge in the things we love it makes our heart swell and our minds clearer.
Here’s a little minute reset for you all 🙏🏼

Who’s missed my monthly Sound Baths?

Well fear not I am back next Sunday at MayuraYoga at 7:30pm.

If you need to treat your body and mind to a total reset and rest to find clarity and peace then my Sound bath will transform your energy, mood and focus. You will feel calmer and connected.
All is required of you is to lay down in comfort, and listen to the gentle yet powerful sounds of crystal bowls, chimes and rain sounds and fully immerse in the experience.

Haven’t we had a wonderful summer… and may it continue. I have felt so privileged and grateful to have held so many outdoor pilates classes at Belfairs woods and at Chalkwell Beach.
Both have completely different vibes but are equally as therapeutic. ✌🏻😊
Beach classes will continue until the end of September so if you haven’t managed to get on the sand before now what are you doing with your life???? Get up, grab a mat and meet me at Chalkwell beach 🏝️ Sundays at 8am.
We have just one more Pilates in the Woods event this year 😢 which is Saturday 5th September 8am. Join me under the beautiful, magical canopy of the trees at Belfairs woods where we move, relax and bask in the sun with a hot drink and tea cake.
Both of these events are open for anyone to join whether you’re new to pilates or a pro.

The link is in my bio to book your space and spaces are limited. To hold your space at Belfairs woods please call the woodland centre on 01702 477467. Essex Wildlife Trust receive a portion of the money raised.

I hope to see lots of old and new faces before the summers out and the lovely British rain sets in 🫠

Thank you again to everyone who has made this summer so special. 🙏🏼

What I’m teaching this week in my Reformer classes…

Feet in straps to start… A) because I’m bored of footwork this week (and yes I know it’s part of the warm up, but I need a change) and
B) Because EVERYBODY loves feet in straps

Moving onto core and spine stability work… testing our coordination skills aswell 😉

Single arm load… adding in a cheeky little weight cos why not but also focusing on stabilising the body using the core when on high knees to control our movements. (I’m not gonna lie, the rotation kills )

And finally spine extensions on the box (my fave)

So if this little repertoire takes your fancy join me at on Mondays and Wednesdays and on Mondays and Fridays.

DM me for times and links to book on. ✌🏼

I told you this summer was going to be amazing. ☀️

So here are the new dates for the next few months so pop them into your diary’s and get yourself booked in!

Practicing pilates outside in nature isn’t just good got the body, it’s great for the soul.
Every class starts with a breath Work practice followed by a relaxing warmup and then into your gentle Pilates flow. We always finish with the guided relaxation.

If this sounds like something you need in your life, then join us every Sunday morning at 8am at Chalkwell Beach…

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!
