Slow days in May 🌿

Cambridge, Columbia Road Flower Market, after hours in the studio and an early taste of Summer! 🌺

Have a great week ahead - and welcome June x

Pilates in the workplace 🪑✨

Throughout this week nearly 300 workers, across five global companies, are joining me in online chair-based Pilates sessions, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week

Together we are exploring simple ways to aid our mobility, posture and overall wellbeing at work and beyond

After 20 years working in offices, and experiencing chronic back pain myself, this is work that I care deeply about 💛

Even little moments of movement can go a long way in supporting how we feel at work - both physically and mentally. So let’s spread the word!

Wishing you a great Wednesday x

Sunday reset 🌿

Remindng myself that you can’t out train depletion
Or force body and mind into balance
And that true strength does not always come from pushing harder… ⚖️🌸💫

Have a great week ahead 😊

Moments from the studio, the park and out among the bluebells this week 💙

And thinking of every participant start line this morning - an experience that never fails to move me 💪💯🙌

Life beyond the studio, home and away 🌸🌊

Grateful for some time off, blue skies, best of friends and blossom!

Have a great week ahead 🌿

So grateful for the past few days - time to pause, reflect and move joyfully from the end of one year to the start of the next 🌿✨

Happy 2026 everyone! 🥳

It’s Back Care Awareness Week 💛

Your spine is an absolute masterpiece of form and function, so let’s look after it ! 🌿

A study by Rodriguez et al. in 2022 found that Pilates had the highest likelihood of reducing both pain (93%) and disability (98%) in people with chronic lower back pain - outperforming every other exercise intervention studied.

The secret? Strengthening deep postural muscles, improving spinal mobility, and building lasting core stability. For best results - consistency is key, which is why I always suggest mat-based exercises for clients to practice at home in between lessons.
