Pilates with Amelia Frances

3 Pilates MYTHS you need to stop believing if you want to improve:

1. You have to be flexible to do Pilates

WRONG! Pilates is designed to suit all bodies regardless of flexibility - in fact, flexibility is one thing that will improve the more you practice. The right instructor will be able to modify classes to suit your body, and you should never settle for less.

2. You have to practice 3 times a week.

Again, not only is this unrealistic for some people, but it creates unnecessary pressure. Practicing Pilates once a week is better than not at all! We get it - life gets in the way sometimes. As long as you show up, that's perfect!

3. If you don't feel the "burn" you're doing it wrong.

Sure, that "Pilates burn" makes us feel like we are working hard, but the principles of Pilates practice do not make this a necessity. Some exercises simply arent designed for this - they are designed for mobility, or balance, and are equally as important.

My most important takeaway? Your practice is just that - YOURS

Make Pilates work for you, not the other way around 💖

Life is all about balance 🌸

Looking after your body takes WORK, and it can be really hard sometimes. The most important thing you can do when it gets hard? Remind yourself of your WHY ...

My why - is to keep myself happy! My primary motivation for most things in life is to bring a smile to my face, or to somebody else's. Sometimes, that's enough! Sometimes, you might need a day to rot in bed before you reset - and that's okay too!

You got this ❤️‍🩹

✨ Client Review ✨

Alice has been attending my mixed ability Pilates classes in Dore and Totley, and here's what she had to say:

"Amelia’s classes are excellent. She is so welcoming and a great teacher, explaining everything in such a calming and easy manner. I always feel extremely relaxed, stretched and strengthened after class."

Thank you for your kind words Alice! 💖

Here are 5 things you ACTUALLY need to start Pilates...

1) Yourself
2) You
3) Your body
4) A mat (or borrow one!)
5) Probably an instructor

If gyms or studios have ever made you feel intimidated, please know this: you’re not alone 🤍

My Pilates classes are calm, friendly, and genuinely beginner-safe. You don’t need confidence, flexibility, or experience to walk through the door — just yourself.

Pilates with me is for every body, exactly as you are.

💬 DM me to try your first class for free.

You don’t need any of these things to start Pilates 👀

No flexibility.
No prior experience.
No strong core.
No gym confidence.
No fancy equipment.

You start with what you already have — your body.

Everything else comes with time, consistency, and the right environment 🤍

Save this if you’ve been telling yourself you’re “not ready yet”.
