Join Jillian Hessel on this one-day in-person workshop on Saturday, 11/07/26. 9.30am - 5pm // London

Teaching Classical Pilates to individuals with postural and/or structural asymmetries, whether caused by poor posture, injury, chronic conditions, or scoliosis, can be difficult and confusing! Jillian herself lives with a Double S-Curve Scoliosis, so she is an expert in devising an individualised approach for each client, starting with a complete postural and movement analysis.

She then focuses on creating modified versions of Classic Pilates exercises and the use of props and imagery, both on and off the various Pilates apparatus. Great for individuals with postural and/or structural asymmetries, whether caused by poor posture or repetitive motion activities, adaptations to injury, chronic conditions, or scoliosis. Train your eyes and your hands in how to best guide your clients to obtain optimal alignment throughout their Pilates workout!

Learn how to modify classical Pilates exercises using props and imagery for clients with postural or structural asymmetries
Develop sharper observational and hands-on skills to guide clients toward optimal alignment.
Gain tools to adapt Pilates for conditions such as poor posture, repetitive strain, injuries, chronic issues or scoliosis.

📚✨ Members, join us for another Pilates Foundation Book Club! ✨📚 ** JOINED BY JAMES EARLS **

Born to Walk by James Earls
🗓 Wednesday 1st July
📍 Online
⏰ 8pm

We’re excited to invite you to our next Pilates Book Club, where movement meets curiosity and conversation.

To follow up his workshop in May, we will be reading Born to Walk by James Earls — a fascinating exploration of fascia, gait, and whole-body movement. Together, we’ll explore how gravity and momentum work in concert with our joints and fascial tissue, and how understanding this relationship can transform the way we teach, practice, and experience Pilates.

This book beautifully connects anatomy with real-life movement, helping us see walking — and Pilates — through a more integrated, efficient lens. James is kindly volunteering his time to join us.

Perfect for:
✨ Teachers wanting to deepen their movement knowledge
✨ Trainees building anatomical understanding
✨ Members curious about the “why” behind what we do

Come along, ready for thoughtful discussion, shared insights, and inspiring conversation. The Bookclub is for EVERYONE! Please join us even if you haven’t read the book.
☕💛

Members join Mike Perry for his two Sunday online classes - Secrets of the Boomerang, and the rock/roll exercises.
19th & 26th April 2026 - 10am -11.30am.
Prompted by a conversation during the Push Up focused classes last year, this workshops will aim to dissect the Boomerang, Open Leg Rocker, Seal and (if everyone’s in the mood) even the Crab. The Boomerang has long been my favourite exercise - for me it’s the most fun and I believe it’s accessible to a wider population than we might imagine…

We’ll explore the component parts - range of movement, control and psychological safety of each of the exercises, and use prep exercises and mobility drills (learned from Ido Portal and FRC particularly) to see what we may need more of.
It’s my hope that this will lead to greater freedom and self-efficacy in taking on these exercises, and more joy too.
Open to Members: £18 for 3 hours over two Sundays.

Members join Marguerite Galizia on 8th March at 10am for a one-hour class - Organising from the Breath

The body’s inherent asymmetry has a particular impact on the breath. We have three lung lobes on the right and only two on the left, with asymmetries echoing down into the diaphragm’s crura and movement. This matwork session aims to reveal the subtle difference between left and right lung breathing as a means of unlocking better organisation at the core level of breath. This class is loosely based on the work of Ron Hruska (Postural Restoration Institute) and Pilates teachers Donna Parise Byrne & Dr Sarah Petrich (Re-Balance Pilates).

Marguerite Galizia is a dance artist-researcher and a Pilates teacher. Marguerite has been teaching Pilates matwork since 2007 and she completed her equipment apprenticeship in 2016. Marguerite combines a detailed teaching approach with a genuine love for movement. Her work is informed by her own ongoing training in somatic movement practices.

Join James Earls on this one-day immersive in-person workshop on Saturday, 16/05/26 in Bristol 10am-4.30pm // Open to All // Designed for movement therapists who want to refine their understanding of how the human body truly moves.
Understanding the Anatomy of Movement bridges anatomical knowledge with practical movement observation, helping you develop a clearer, more accurate lens for assessing and guiding movement in your clients.
Participants will explore the overall structural blueprint of the human body and how form supports function. You’ll learn to use precise anatomical and biomechanical terminology to describe movement with confidence and clarity, enhancing both professional communication and clinical reasoning. The workshop also examines how muscles and fascia work cooperatively during different types of actions, highlighting coordinated patterns rather than isolated parts.

This is the workshop that we all should have had at the start of our training journey. // Limited places // Don’t miss out. // See the link in our bio to book.
