Excited to be slowly easing myself back into teaching after having Finn 😅 and I can’t wait to start teaching Barre and pilates classes for starting in September!
Well today has been a good day 😄. 5 weeks postpartum 🤱🏻and I managed to get 10 mins on my mat while Finn slept (and Campbell is at nursery) and it felt like a massive achievement 🥳🤣. It’s the first day I’ve felt I’ve had the energy, mentally and physically, to do anything and I thought I would video it to share my postpartum journey.
Until now I’ve just been focusing on deep breathing and finding that deep core connection with my pelvic floor and transverse abdominals and practising engaging the core during everyday activities like when I’m sat feeding or changing a nappy or out walking. My diastasis has pretty much closed apart from a small gap above my belly button but I decided to stick with working in neutral for now and the challenge was there thanks to the instability of the ball. It’s not perfect but it bloody felt good to just feel my muscles work again and I even managed to squeeze in some wee stretches which felt even better🤩!
Excuse the hideous nursing bra but hopefully my gorgeous new leggings distract you (thanks for these 😘)
Happy Friday!

Well this wee cherub finally joined the party last Friday and what a week it’s been 🤪🥰❤️ Even after years of studying and working with the human body it still amazes me what it is capable of and I am forever grateful for the two beautiful boys my body has grown and birthed 💙🥹
I’m in no state to be doing this year 🤰🏻so I thought I’d post one of my faves from last year - day 12 - The Swan Dive … I’m now visualising what this would look like today 🤣🤦🏻♀️
Sorry for being a bit MIA on here - it’s been a busy (tough) few months! Not only did I qualify in reformer and springboard but I’ve been busy growing something special 🤰🏻🥰🥳 and to say I’ve been feeling a bit crap would be an understatement 🤢! But I’m back to feeling more like myself so maybe I’ll manage a post or two every month 🤣 featuring my wee 👶🏻❤️

Happy World Ballet Day 🩰
This photo seems like a lifetime ago but I have ballet to thank for a lot of things in my life - best friends, my husband, and for introducing me to pilates! My pilates journey began when I was a young ballet dancer in training - it kept me strong and healthy for many years and when I did get injured it helped me recover quickly. And now I get to share the benefits of pilates with all my clients 🥰 Pilates is my career now (which I love) but ballet will always be my first love!

Wow! 7 years ago we qualified as pilates instructors where has the time gone 😁 Look how happy we were to complete our final exam! Celebrating with an ice cream down at the beautiful Portobello beach, Edinburgh 🍦👯♀️👯♀️
And this is where I’ll be teaching from all week 💦🥵😂
Well it’s been a hot minute since my last time lapse so here’s a very fast snippet of what we got up to this morning with our rollers 😁💪

“By all means never fail to get all the sunshine
and fresh air that you can.” – Joseph Pilates
I love my job but especially on days like today when we get to workout outside! Sunshine and fresh air makes everything better! 🌞🌺🌻🌷🌳
