The Studio at Waterlane Farm

TFI Friday 💪

Ending a busy week with Max Lobatto guest class TRU Pilates exploring some of the advanced reformer series including some variations I’ve never done before.

Always value Max’s expertise and guidance to get more out of every exercise.

Now taking this momentum through to start working on my 400 hour series of exercises and pulling all the pieces together to finish the jigsaw.

Weekend 4 - Progression + advanced work.

The training has finished but the hard work has only just begun. Now to nail the names of the exercises, the order, the transitions. And to then step back and really look at the bodies we are teaching and give them what they need.

This weekend really cemented my understanding that everything we need for every body is in the Method and in all of the equipment in the studio. Now I trust the process.

Thank you to Holly and Nasia for guiding us through each weekend.

Happy International Pilates Day!

Teaching since 2012, doing Pilates waaaaay before then, but now finding a real connection to the method thanks to my classical training .pilates.amersham - and the amazing group I’m learning with. Couldn’t ask for a more supportive studio to take my teaching to the next level.

Just hanging out on a sunny afternoon with

Building up to our 300 hour exam.

Sometimes I feel a bit like a swan - calm and graceful on the surface, paddling madly under the surface. But practice makes me calmer each day, building the strength and connection to get through the exercises either as a body or finding calm and quiet as the instructor.
