Sopilates

Calling all Mums with little ones from 6 weeks old through to preschoolers! I have a new class for you!! I’m offering a free trial for this week only so if you would like to come along then dm me…

The next Social Run, Pilates & Coffee event at Westerlands, Graffham, is in just 5 days time! Spaces available! It really is a lovely way to spend the morning!

I am super excited to announce the launch of the very first of my SOCIAL RUN, PILATES & COFFEE! events!
First Wednesday of every month starting on 1st May!
Come and join me for a fun filled morning at the beautiful Westerlands, Petworth. The estate is the most idyllic countryside setting so gentle on the soul and uplifting in its warmth and welcome.
We will kick off the morning with a social, fun, 5-6km trail run around Graffham Common. New to trail running? You are most welcome. This is a run designed to encourage you to pop your trainers on and give it a go. The pace will be set to the slowest runners pace with absolutely no pressure. My mission is for you to experience the all important endorphin rush and to want to run again and again. A dab hand? Zone 2, time on legs, it all counts and so come and have some fun experiencing new routes and trails with like minded people.
When we return to Westerlands soil we will take a few minutes to stretch whilst enjoying an energy shot of goodness before getting on our mats for an hour of Pilates. We will combine strength and stretch exercises in one dynamic full body workout with a moment of calm and breath work to conclude the session.
And because you have earned it, we will stroll over to the fabulous Horsebox cafe for a hot or cold drink of your choice and a healthy or not so healthy treat!
Spaces are limited - please join the waitlist if this session is already booked as I will open up more spaces if the weather allows!
I can’t wait!

Being a small business owner in the fitness industry I have a love hate relationship with social media. It can be very positive if navigated carefully but it can also sadly sometimes be extremely triggering and toxic.

Today I was tagged in a post on a local community board where someone was searching for local Pilates class recommendations and it really got me thinking…

This particular post sparked quite a big response which is fantastic as there are lots of great instructors out there but I noticed a lot of comments along the lines of “go to X, they really are the best around”, “X is the only person you should go to” etc

Now I appreciate this comes from a good place and it is showing support but please do remember that there will be an instructor out there who suffers with low self esteem who might not have received a recommendation in the comments. This could be for any number of reasons, perhaps because none of their clients have seen it, or their clients don’t actively participate in community board pages or the instructor is new to the industry, but that doesn’t mean to say they aren’t really great instructors! To read comments such as “there is no one else you should go to” could be really damaging. It’s also ridiculous as unless the person commenting has tried out every single instructor in the area, then how can they possibly say?

Coming from someone who has been through periods of really struggling with social media, if you are going to recommend your instructor, which you absolutely should might I add as it will make their day, then please do choose your words wisely…”X is fab! Their classes are full of energy”, I love X’s teaching style”, “I’ve been attending X’s classes for a long time and I feel fantastic!”.

So I leave this with you, if you are on the search for a new class, go and try a few! We are all different, we have different teaching styles, personalities and offerings. It’s about finding a class and an instructor which works for you and most importantly, you enjoy!

So let’s look out for each other and most importantly, be kind 🙏🏼



If you agree, please share and help spread a positive word 🙏🏼
