I help people to develop strength, flexibility and balance within the body through Pilates.
Spotlight on shoulder stabilisation: frequently a problematic area - especially for those who spend long hours on computers or driving. Many also carry tension here - I’m one of those people! We’ll look at moves to help mobility, stabilisation and strength. A healthy sprinkle of core work in classes this week too. 🤩👌

Focus on mobility, core control & core strength in classes this week as we return to our regular timetable. We’ll be using the mini ball …I promise to include the neck massage on the ball at the end of the class! 😍

😂 It’s true! Definitely money well spent! Reformer on the mat (or chair!) will be our focus in classes this week. See you soon 💕
I FOUND A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
It’s time to bring out the trusty circle again! A fab way to enhance the strength and mobility work in our classes this week. ☺️
Scissors and Bicycle with everyone working at the level suitable for them. I love that there’s so much variation in the class: challenge whilst maintaining form and control 👌

People come to Pilates initially for many different reasons but are often surprised by its healing power & wholistic impact. So much more than just an exercise programme. ☺️ Regular timetable continues this week (including today - bank holiday) where we’ll explore equipment free movements to leave you feeling fabulous ❤️

How lovely! ☺️
"Crisp, zesty and gently ye**ty. No added sugar and a particularly clean, palate-cleansing finish. Sharpens the appetite without feeling heavy."
So says Michele Longari of Hay Wines who has selected all the wines that you will enjoy on the 25th June at our Midsummer Feast.
This is how the evening begins. Sounds to me like the perfect way to start a midsummer banquet.
The talents of Hay Wines and Felice Tocchini of Feli's bar & restaurant have come together to create an evening of delicious food and wine that takes you on a gastronomic journey around the Mediterranean in the idyllic setting of Barton Court.
With welcome fizz - outside in the grounds if the weather is kind. - to set the tone of the evening, the dinner continues inside with wines chosen to match the five course menu that Felice has devised.
Michele will be on hand to talk you through the background, origins and characteristics of a wonderful selection of wine and will provide tasting notes for you to take home.
If you would rather not drink and drive, why not book one of our boltholes for the night?

Loving my new Reformer! Have been enjoying having a play with my new piece of kit & of course, it’s inspired me for our classes this week: Reformer on the mat (or chair!). Look forward to sharing this with you all in class.🙂💕
