Pilates with Valerie

15/10/2026

Tuesdays night class. I am grateful to have a fully class so I opened a new one on thursdays. Everyone comes after work. We work on every session on our mobility before starting some strength exercises. Everyone has the time to get ready psychologically at the effort. Always this connection between the mind and the movement. The essential is to try our best .

Mat Pilates Is Not a Thing of the Past

Mat Pilates is sometimes overlooked in a world filled with machines, equipment and new fitness trends. But there is something incredibly powerful about working with nothing more than your own body.

Your body gives you all the feedback you need.

On the mat, you begin to understand your own mechanics—how you move, where you compensate, where you hold tension, and where you need more strength, mobility or control.

You learn your limits, not somebody else’s.

And, with consistency, you begin to recognise your progression. A movement that once felt impossible becomes more controlled. Your balance improves. Your breathing connects with your movement. Your core becomes stronger. You become more aware of the smallest details.

That is the beauty of Mat Pilates.

It isn’t about doing the most complicated exercise or pushing your body beyond its limits. It is about learning to work intelligently with the body you have.

Your body is your resistance.
Your body is your teacher.
And your progress belongs to you.

Mat Pilates hasn’t had its time. It is timeless.

Few days away in Mallorca with my boy. Even Pilates instructors need a little me time. ☀️💛

Soaking up some much-needed Vitamin D, recharging, and enjoying a well-earned holiday. But movement never stops—keeping active now means feeling strong, fit, and ready to get back to doing what I love. Be ready clients I am going to be back in top form. You know what this means? 😜

Balance is everything. 🌴✨ Balance

55. Just a number.

Today I was reminded that age doesn’t define what our bodies are capable of. After a massage, I was told my muscles feel like those of a 30-year-old—and as a Pilates instructor, I’m still able to perform advanced Pilates exercises with strength, control, and joy.

This isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about taking care of yourself, moving consistently, and making choices that help you feel your best.

Life will always bring challenges, but there are always solutions. Keep moving, keep learning, keep looking after yourself, and don’t let a number tell you what you can or can’t do.

Enjoy life. Get the best out of it. Your age is just one part of your story—not the limit of your potential.

Back at St Pancras.

I’ve made this journey to Paris, my hometown, more times than I can count. Every trip has meant precious time with my family, my friends, and, most of all, my mummy.

As the years go by, I realise these journeys are about so much more than travelling. They’re about love, laughter, shared meals, warm hugs, and creating memories that stay in our hearts forever.

Life is so precious, and none of us knows how long we have with the people we love. That’s why I treasure every visit, every smile, every moment. Always enjoy my mum’s meals. They are the best !

Never take time with your loved ones for granted. ❤️
