Pawprints, Pilates and a Piece Of Cake

Pawprints, Pilates and a Piece Of Cake Spreading the joy of Body Control Pilates to fun loving clients via group or individual sessions. Hello, I'm Trudy and I’m a Pilates teacher.

I love sharing the joy that Pilates has given me with my fun loving clients. I’m not your typical fitness instructor in looks but that just reinforces my belief that Pilates is for eveybody and every body. I aim to use the Pilates method to assist people in learning how their bodies move so that they can get the best out of themselves, whether the goal is general fitness and flexibility or to work on a specific issue such as back or bone health. I teach from my studio in leafy Wokingham all via zoom at the moment. In less unusual times there is also the ability to visit the studio. I run group classes (maximum 8 via zoom or 4 in the studio) but if you want my eagle eyes to focus on your body I also do 1-2-1 sessions. You can find me in my studio with the dogs & some cake at Pawprints, Pilates and a Piece Of Cake

This world fitness day I am not going to say you need to start a fitness regime…

Why? Because I think that exercising shouldn’t be forced or pressured onto someone, but part of a sustainable part of your life that fits around your normal week.

So if you’d love to join a Pilates class, with an instructor that is inclusive and supportive - fantastic!

But if it’s not for you, that’s also fine!

Give me a DM or email if you’d like more info on what classes would work for you.

There is a new blog post up and this one is all about our senses!

They play a big role when we exercise and do Pilates; engaging your senses improves neuromuscular control, body awareness, and movement precision by sharpening how your brain communicates with your muscles.

Did you know to build bone density you need progressive overload?

Every time you do an exercise it needs to fatigue your muscles so they get signaled to build more!

My classes on a Thursday (10:45am) at Barkham Village Hall is a class specifically designed to help with bone density!

So, if you’ve been looking for a class to help with that… you’re in the right place!

Making sure that my classes are inclusive is incredibly important!

Everyone deserves to be able to join a class that they can enjoy, knowing that the instructor is knowledgeable not only in the class they are teaching, but in how to make sure it benefits everyone.

So if this has popped up on your feed, take it as a sign that you’ve found a Pilates instructor that welcomes anyone who would like to give Pilates a try, no matter your ability, age or needs.

Why do you need Pilates in your life?

I could give you 100 reasons, but here are just a couple...

One, it is a fantastic way to exercise your body, build strength, and increase body awareness.

Two, because it is not only good for your physical well-being; it also benefits you mentally!
Because it uses controlled breathing and mindfulness, this helps to lower tension and calm the nervous system.

So, if you have been looking for an instructor who doesn't mind where you are in your health journey, what age you are or your size - you've found the right person!

Send me a message to find out more - there is still a chance to book my next block of classes too!

Would you like to attend one of my Pilates classes? Don't forget to book!

I run face-to-face classes in Wokingham, as well as online Zoom classes if you live further afield.

It's cheaper if you book classes in a block, but there are pay-as-you-go options available too if your diary is a little unpredictable.

My Pilates classes are open to all ages and sizes, and I aim to make them as welcoming as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me or drop me a DM.
