Pilates with Priya

So often in life we feel that we have to go fast and just get things done in as little time as possible.

Which is one reason why Pilates brings such benefits.

Slowing down, connecting to your body, breathing and being connected in the moment brings such amazing benefits to your mind and also to your body.

Plus added bonus you still get a workout, I promise.

So I want to encourage you to give these moves a go today.

If you don’t have a Pilates ring then try a soft squidgy Pilates ball or even a firm cushion. The key is to go slow.

Follow for more.

I met so many people who think Pilates is just lying on the floor stretching and breathing. Now I’ll admit it we do that.

Which is needed for our bodies and nervous system. But you know what? Is also a full body form of exercise.

Working your feet, legs, glutes, abdominals, arms, shoulders, wrists, back and all the way out through the crown of the head.

I want you to leave your class feeling worked, stretched, rejuvenated and as if you are just in a nicer headspace.

We would love you to come join us. I’ve a few limited spaces available. Get in touch!

Try these three moves to get a great glute workout in your day. All you need is a resistance band, your body and your core!Aim to keep the spine in neutral and those deep abdominal working throughout.

Imagine there is a spirit level across the back of your hips and don’t forget to keep those shoulders connected into the mid back too.

I’ve been teaching and singing the 12 day of Pilates Christmas all week. Our finale class for the year! It’s an action packed class where we do move 1 then move 2 and 1, all the way to move 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!Which means through the whole class you do 42 reps of some moves (this year that was double leg stretches). But my fav is always “5 Rolling Balls” Totally love my Pilates community and classes who have been game for the challenge. Come join us in 2025 for a slower paced class to learn the technique!

Looking after your hips and glutes is so key for long term health, mobility and strength. So I popped this little series in class last week, inspired by to help my clients who need to focus on hips. A fab series, but comes with a health warning not to overdo it! Remember as you start to get ready for Christmas to also look after your body and take time out for you too. That’s where Pilates comes in. Spaces in our Wed 7.30pm, Thurs 7pm, Sun 9.15am classes and Fri 9.30am postnatal right now.

Part of the point of Pilates is working on functional moves we need for daily life.

So we always have these in our classes.

As our bodies age we have to keep working on these things! I’m working on my body being strong in my 80’s. How about you?

Come join us.

Spaces in person : Mon 9.30am, Wed 7.30pm, Friday 9.30am (post natal), Sunday 9.15am

Spaces online in the Tued, Wed and Thurs evening classes too but full in person.

If you’ve done Pilates before and it wasn’t hard then you were probably not doing it quite right! Because Pilates is small movements, done with technique, made hard. I love the fact I can do the most basic of moves and still find the hard work factor in it. If you haven’t found that yet then let’s chat. Drop me a comment if you agree…

Feeling stiff? A little sore from daily life? Try these moves. Our bodies need movement, our spines need a variety of moves in different directions and actions. We always add moves like these into our Pilates classes so you leave feeling amazing!! Email [email protected] if you need more of this in your life. Our classes are online and in person too.
