What do you think of the new-look wall in the studio?!

The EXCELLENT Kayleigh hand-painted this beautiful design by The Artist Studio onto the studio wall last week and I think it’s just gorgeous 😍

Hopefully we can practically feel the Mediterranean sun and hear the gentle lapping of the waves as we work our way through the Pilates repertoire!!

Can’t wait to see what you guys think of it in the space

An idea of what you might find in the studio this week (in 5X speed!)

And remember that mixed level means we always vary exercises to you and your physicality 💛

In the studio this week: PACE 🐢🐇

Sarah explains, and gives a couple of teaching demos, of what you can expect in this week’s class.

‘Playing’ with speed and pace to see how it changes the exercise…

Expect: an energetic full-body workout (plenty o’ abs)

Note: Sarah is in covering for Emma on Monday and Millie on Friday this week

🍎I’ll come to you!

Let’s move together (via a screen) Kore online 💻

These sessions are a great way to top-up your movement practice. I like to think of them as a good half-way-house way of doing a class.

✅Less, time, effort and cost than going all the way to a studio for a class

✅More accountability, guidance & community than doing a YouTube video or your own thing…

Perhaps you’re a Pilates teacher wanting your OWN practice.

Perhaps you have a reformer at home but want a little guidance.

Perhaps you’ve just need the commitment of a live class to give you the structure and accountability to build your regular practice.

Perhaps you love visiting the studio but don’t want to push the budget for an extra reformer class each week.

Perhaps you work from home and could do with a bit of movement to break up your day

🍎Meet the Kore team:

✨EMMA☀️

👋🏻Hi, I’m Emma, Pilates mat and reformer instructor. I’ve been doing Pilates for about 20 years and teaching since 2020.

✨Pilates for me is about making movement as accessible as possible for everyone and helping people to be confident in their own bodies.

🤗I’m a certified APPI and STOTT Pilates instructor and hold a post grad certificate in Pilates for long term medical conditions.
My wider Pilates training with Q***r Body Pilates and Size Diverse Pilates and my own programme for teaching Pilates that is inclusive for neurodivergent people such as myself, means everyone is very much welcome.

🧠♾️When I’m not teaching Pilates, I am working as a Neurodiversity Consultant and Coach, helping to make the world more accessible for all brains and all bodies,

🫶🏻I grew up near Lyme Regis, lived in London for 20 years, and moved to beautiful Sherborne 4 years ago with my husband and daughter.

🍎Meet the Kore team: MILLIE! ✨🤸🏻‍♀️

👋 Hello, I’m Millie! I joined the fantastic KORE team earlier this year, and I absolutely love teaching reformer in the studio.

🏡 I live just outside Sherborne with my husband and our three children. Our home life is a constant state of ‘happy chaos’—noisy, messy, but full of laughter. We all love an adventure 🚴🏼, hitting the beach 🏄 or just snuggling up to a film 🍿 together!

🏃🏽‍♀️ When I need to unwind, I head out for a countryside run with my lovely dog, ideally soaking up the sunshine with Faithless blasting through my headphones.

🤸🏻 My fitness journey really began with long-distance running and marathons. However, balancing intensive training, injury recovery and a general muscle imbalance eventually led me to Reformer Pilates. It completely revolutionized how I view movement, strength, and recovery.

💪🏼 Alongside teaching, I work as a local Personal Trainer (certified in circuits, spin, kettlebells, and TRX) and plan to study Biomechanics next to better understand how to support bodies of every shape and size.

🌟 I firmly believe that movement is medicine - physically and mentally. In my classes, you can expect a mix of precision, control, and challenge designed to leave you feeling strong, connected, and confident. My sessions are always upbeat and usually full of giggles—which, as it turns out, is a brilliant way to challenge your core even more!

I’m going to go and join Becky and her gang tomorrow for a boogie - really looking forward to it!

There are still 4 spaces left if anyone fancies coming to join us??

💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Expressive Chair Dance with Becky

**SEPTEMBER WORKSHOP **

I've wanted to do a routine to this for so long and as SEPTEMBER will mark 1 year since my 1st workshop in Shepton Mallet, I thought it was the perfect "Expressive Chair Dance with Becky" present to us all, to dance to this epic song 🪑💃💪❤️‍🔥

This routine is suitable for beginners. I break all the moves down and we repeat them over and over, so they DO stick in your mind, and body! 😉

We focus on feeling the energy within the song and telling the story with our body. We all move differently, it's not about being perfect, it's about connecting to the music and expressing the emotion within it 💗

I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space where we can all just go for it ✨️💃
Dance from our hearts, let go and feel amazing for it!

If this sounds like something you'd like to experience, pop me a msg or comment below and I'll get in touch 😊

We all deserve to dance freely, our bodies need it, our minds need it even more 💖

Becky Xx

My name is Sarah, I opened the doors to the studio here in Sherborne in 2023, and (aside from welcoming my beautiful daughter Lyra) this has been just the most rewarding creation!

⛵I grew up not far away in Hamble near Southampton, and since the age of 3 - when my friend dragged me along to her ballet class for moral support - have been in love with movement!

🩰I continued to dance, mainly ballet and tap, and even studied it during my college years to gain my dance teaching qualifications. I side-stepped into the world of Pilates in around 2010, teaching across a really wide array of settings and people - hugely valuable experience!

🇫🇷I also love travel and adventure - having lived in France for a couple of years as a child I developed a life-long love of all things French and since January have been taking private language lessons to regain my (very) rusty French speaking skills.

👯‍♀️I am a single-parent to the most amazing lil girl Lyra, we have so many adventures together and she’s the light of my life! We moved to Sherborne when she was a baby and now, 8 years later feel very at home here.

🏂I am a huge fan of ‘trying new hobbies’ and have tried lots I the past including jiu jitsu, snowboarding, off-road motorcycling to name a few. My latest ‘thing’ to try has been acting, having joined our local drama group and acting in a play - I am now completely hooked and am looking forward to getting convolved in more!

💞I am so grateful to everyone who has been involved in KORE so far, especially those of you who have been loyally Pilates-ing with me since day one! 🫶 I have a FANTASTIC team in the studio, and as we move into our next chapter, which I am officially naming ‘KOREV2’ - I am just so excited to expand our horizons, spend more tie together was a ‘kore-munity’ (too cheesy?) and see what more experiences we can bring to Dorset, and beyond….

With love,
Sarah 🍎xx

🍎 meet the Kore team:

⚡️SASJA 🤿

Hi I’m Sasja, but everyone calls me Sas. I’m a qualified Mat and Reformer instructor, fitness instructor and personal trainer.

🌎 A little background on me… I’m from Weston-super-Mare but have spent many years working abroad all over the world! From SE Asia, Mexico, Maldives to France working as a SCUBA Diving instructor or in the Après-ski scene.

🩰 Before all the jet setting, I trained in Ballet, Tap, Modern and Street dance starting ballet aged 3. I was in my first performance at the age of 4 and continued my training up until I was 19. I love teaching Pilates and movement and my previous training has melted into how I conduct sessions today. I love working on alignment with people, stabilisation and strength through movement and of course, a pointed toe.

🏂 I love being active, being outside and my little dog Ebony Rose. My hobbies are snowboarding, motorcross, pole dancing and beach walks with Ebony. I also make handmade rugs out of recycled materials in my spare time to try and do my bit for the planet they are called ugli_rugs . 🧶

🌻I’m so grateful to be a part of the KORE team! The support in the community is lovely to see and it’s rare to find, especially in the fitness industry! I hope to help you all realise that you can achieve more than you think and be proud of the journey you’re on!
