Live & Breathe Pilates

28/09/2026

From Dublin to Dungarvan and back this past weekend 💚

I spent a very enjoyable weekend teaching BASI Pilates Comprehensive Flex Modules 105 & 106 to a lovely group of students.

Lots of great questions were answered, observation hours and the all important self practice and teaching of this detailed work for a new cohort of students. The work is just beginning! 🤓 The learning never ends!

Thanks to Nicola for being the best host and to the Irish weather for the sea swims and a truly beautiful trip home through brilliant sunshine ☀️

Repertoire from BASI Pilates Comprehensive Flex Program

Pilates really isn’t just for women — I think men are simply discovering the benefits a little later! 😊 It’s great to see more sportsmen recognising how much Pilates can add to their training, but also lots of ordinary guys discovering it because they’re feeling a bit less flexible, mobile or strong than they used to.

That’s one of the things I know about teaching Pilates — there’s no “type” of person it’s for. Pilates is for everybody's body

Keeping our Reformer classes to just 6 at Live & Breathe means we can really work with each person individually, whatever their age, fitness level or reason for coming.

Hopefully articles like this will encourage a few more men to give it a go!

A growing number of men, including singers Shaggy and Harry Styles, are taking up pilates. When I realised I could no longer touch my toes, I decided to try it out

And just like that our first weekend together with our BASI Pilates Comprehensive and Mat & Reformer Flex students is over.

Now the real hard work starts - practice, teaching and observation.

I often joke with students that they need to live and breathe Pilates to become a good teacher....

It's not about just doing a short course and being qualified within days. It's about taking the time and consistent practice to get the work into your own body, being able to analyse movement not just teach a flow, seeing the body in front of you and understanding how to help your clients move with more ease both inside the studio AND outside in life.

This work always humbles me - every course I teach I learn so much from participants, about cueing, the language we use, going deeper into the repertoire and understanding that we are all different and have different bodies, different needs and have different outlooks.

Thank you to our students for all the great questions.
I love to see those lightbulb moments 💡

Pilates teaches us diversity and also inclusivity. It really is for everybody's body 🩵💙

It's official, it's here!!!! Our second coastal adventure is ready and available to book!!!

Join Steph and Therese in February 2027 for Sea Change — a Valentine’s weekend with a difference on the coast in beautiful Wexford.

Take a break from the pace and demands of everyday life and give yourself space to move, breathe, reset and reconnect. 

Over the weekend, we’ll explore what happens when we change our rhythm — slowing down, tuning in and allowing the sea, fresh air and movement to shift both body and mind.

Our unique program brings together Pilates, FAMO fascial movement, yoga, breathwork and self-massage, with practices ranging from energising Pilates flows and dynamic fascial movement to slower, restorative yoga and deep release.

There’ll be time to move, rest, walk, breathe, chat, or simply do nothing — with the sea and the Wexford coastline providing the backdrop.

Includes ensuite accommodation, all your meals and refreshments, all classes and two workshops over the weekend.

Optional sauna, sea swims and massages available too

Sea Change is your chance to step out of the everyday, move in new ways and return home feeling refreshed, re-energised and ready for what comes next.

Tier 1 Early Bird €525 places are available NOW
When they're gone, they're gone!

Full price €599

We do hope you can join us 🤍🤍🤍
