Soul Pilates

What people misunderstand about Roll Up 👀

The Roll Up is often seen as a test of abdominal strength, but there's another piece of the puzzle that's easy to overlook: spinal mobility.

The movement asks you to articulate through your spine, gradually rolling down one vertebra at a time, then reversing that movement to come back up.

So rather than trying to power your way through it, think about:

✨ Rolling through your spine sequentially

✨ Moving with control rather than momentum

✨ Creating space through each part of your spine

✨ Keeping the movement slow enough to feel what's happening

Building spinal mobility and learning how to articulate through your spine can make a huge difference to your Roll Up, and to how you move more generally.

Pilates isn't about getting better at Pilates...

It's about getting better at life.

The strength, mobility and control you build in the studio is there to support everything else you love doing.

🏃 Runners do Pilates to run faster

💃 Dancers do Pilates to move more freely

🤍 The rest of us do Pilates to feel stronger, move better, and keep doing the things we love for years to come.

The goal isn't to master the Reformer.

It's to build a body that supports the life you want to live, now and in the future.

If you've been meaning to start, our Summer Edit is the perfect opportunity.

With our limited-edition class packs available until 31st July, there's never been a better time to build a routine that your future self will thank you for.

It's not as scary as it looks 👀

If you've ever looked at a Reformer machine and thought, "That looks complicated..." you're definitely not alone.

The truth is, it looks far more intimidating than it feels.

In this video, Nic walks you through the Reformer step by step - how it moves, what the springs do, and why it's such an effective piece of equipment.

Once you understand the basics, it all starts to make sense.

The Reformer isn't designed to make movement more complicated.

It's designed to support your body, challenge you in the right ways, and help you build strength, control and confidence.

If you've been thinking about giving Reformer Pilates a go, this summer is the perfect time.

We've created a range of Summer Packs designed to help you begin a Pilates routine this summer, without the commitment of a membership.

Pilates is challenging - but not in the way you think

Lots of people on Instagram are trying to prove how hard Pilates is, with videos of strong men struggling, their bodies shaking

And when you're new to Pilates, it is hard - because you're asking your body to move in a whole new way.

But the real question isn't whether Pilates is easy or hard.

The real question is: what is Pilates trying to do?

Pilates builds strength. It builds awareness. It reshapes old movement patterns.

It isn’t about proving how hard you can work.

The goal is to create more ease in your body.

So movements that once felt difficult begin to feel natural, and you start to carry that strength and efficiency into everyday life.

If you’d like to experience that for yourself, our Summer Packs are designed to help you build a consistent practice and start feeling the difference by the end of summer.
