Pilates with Priya

I work with a lot of women in midlife. And so many of them have spent years…decades sometimes, using exercise as a way to manage how their body looks.

Turning up to classes feeling like they have to earn their place. Pushing through workouts that left them exhausted. Measuring success by the number on the scales.

And they’re done with it.

They want to feel strong. They want to climb the stairs at 75 without holding the banister. They want to get up off the floor and not think twice about it. They want muscles that work and joints that move and a body they can actually rely on.

That’s what we build. In 45 minutes. Every class.
Not a punishment. Not a transformation programme. Just consistent movement that gives you something back.

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely still drink the wine too 🍷 but the Reformer has a better outcome and makes me a nicer person!

Midlife comes with a lot of chaos, a lot of body changes, and a lot of everyday stress. Sometimes this Pilates mat or reformer is the only place where I can completely turn the volume down, focus on my body, and protect my sanity.

If you’re looking for a workout that strengthens your body and saves your mind, you need to join us.

6 kids all living with me. 2 businesses. A brain that never switches off. A chronic health condition.

Yes I spend a lot of my week teaching pilates (and love it) but I still DO it for myself. Why?

It can be the one hour in my week that belongs entirely to me. Not for anyone else.

It’s not to look a certain way. It’s for my mood, my midlife strength, my sanity, my health.

If you’re in midlife and you’ve spent years moving your body for everyone else’s reasons…this is your sign to start moving it for yours.

Love love love a Pilates roller class.

Working on balance is key and when you bring in the instability of a roller, it suddenly makes all of those basics so much harder and requires so much more concentration. Which means when you go back to the mat, you really know where to focus.

In our classes, I love to bring it a right of props that help bring variety but also help you connect to the moves more.

Spaces Tuesday 7 pm, Thursday 7 pm and Sunday 9:15 am in studio and online.

Last week in studio the rollers came out. Cue 45 mins of concentration, balance, deep core work and some laughter and wobbles!

I used to say I taught roller classes on days I had a headache 😂 because everyone is quiet and focused so hard.

But in truth it’s my fav piece of small equipment and will make your mat work better!

Love or hate rollers?

Spaces in our Tues 7pm and Sun 9.15 class in person and spaces online in all classes.

On those days you just need to wake up and move your body here’s one flow I love….

In Pilates we don’t just lie on the mat and breath. We work on full body workouts, mobility, flexibility, strength and of course the core.

Join us in person (Southampton UK) or online.

In our mid life we have to build a body that’s functional and strong for later life…. Pilates is a non negotiable in my opinion.

For example if you want to be able to:
- Get down to the floor an up again
- Climb the stairs, mountains, do long walks
- Lift heavy items (including children!)
- Twist and bend eg gardening
- Look after your pelvic floor
- Build strength and flexibility
- Take care of your back

Spaces Wed 7.30pm and Sun 9.15am for beginners and Tues 7pm for intermediates

Midlife isn’t a time to stop exercising. It’s a time to build in exercise - Pilates is the perfect foundation.

In classes we use all kinds of props to add resistance, to add challenge and to ensure you keep moving forward in building strength and function.

Spaces Wed 7.30pm for beginners, Tues 7pm for mixed ability and Sun 9.15 for the weekend workout.

I love a heavy lifting session and use weights as part of my routine, but then Pilates with light weights humbled me each time.

In mid-life, we need the heavy lifts for bone density, but we need Pilates for joint longevity, balance and a core that actually supports us. This flow doesn’t just work your muscles…it challenges your nervous system.

Spaces Tues 7pm, Wed 7.30pm and Sun 9.15am. Online and in our little studio.
