DAY 4 ✦ PILATES x STRENGTH - Full Body 💪

We are on YouTube today and your full body is going to FEEL this one 🔥

Here is what day 4 looks like:

✦ Figure 4 bridge + extend - glute strength, hamstring control and core stability all in one move.
✦ Side leg lift pulse - fires up the outer glutes and hips while building lower body endurance.
✦ Lateral Lunge Row + OHP - lower body strength with upper body power and shoulder stability.
✦ Side leg lift - The JL Studios signature. Abs, glutes and arms all working together the entire time.

Head to my YouTube channel to do today’s session - Link in bio.

Next JL Studios Retreat destination → Mykonos

I am taking a small group to the most beautiful corner of Greece this autumn.

24th - 29th September

Here is what five days in Mykonos looks like with JL Studios:

✦ Morning Mat and Reformer Pilates as the sun rises over the Aegean
✦ JL Studios signature classes ‘Pilates Sculpt and Align Pilates,’ plus Classical Pilates and stretch mat sessions open to the sky, salt air, and silence
✦ Days that move at the pace your body actually needs
✦ Evenings that feel like a reward for simply being present

This is five days of giving your body, your mind, and your nervous system exactly what they have been asking for.

Spaces are limited and they will go.

DAY 2 ✦ PILATES x STRENGTH | Lower Body 🔥

Yesterday you started. Today we build.

Here is exactly what we hit in today’s session:

✦ Combo kneeling box with push up - To warm up the whole body and get you connected before we go lower
✦ Donkey kicks - Slow and controlled first to feel every single rep, then at pace to build heat in the glutes
✦ Fire hydrants - Hips, outer glutes, all of it. These will humble you.
✦ Side to side squats - Moving through the hips, building strength through the full range
✦ Squat pulse - We finish where it burns. Hold it. Breathe through it.

This is what Pilates x Strength looks like. Precise. Purposeful. No filler.

Your glutes will know about this tomorrow. That is the point. 🔥

Already done? Drop a 🔥 in the comments - I want to see you checking in every single day.

📌 Save this so you remember what day 2 looked like.

Let’s get stronger for summer 💪

What I eat in a day as a pilates instructor ✨

most days I’m on the go, so I try to stay organised with food prep… but sometimes it’s a grab-what-you-can situation 🤍
Breakfast: Protein yogurt bowl + chia seeds + grated dark chocolate + dried banana
Lunch: Harissa chicken sandwich (my current obsession) 
Dinner: Homemade burgers + salad
After dinner: Grapefruit (I’m fully in my grapefruit era 🍊)
I usually aim for high protein to keep me full, energised, and ready for long days of teaching.

Balance over perfection, always

Pilates x Strength combos >>> 🤍

If you’re short on time, this is how you make it count.
By combining movements, you’re working multiple muscle groups at once, so you get more done in less time without rushing.

It’s still controlled, still intentional… just more efficient.
Think strength + stability + core all in one.
Slow it down, stay focused, and you’ll feel the difference straight away.

Efficient workouts, done properly ✨

Spent my birthday with the people who matter most. The circle may get smaller with time, but it grows stronger and I’m so grateful for the ones who’ve stayed, supported, and shaped my life 🤍

Just a week of small wins, americanos, long walks, random laughs, and London actually showing up with the sun ☀️
Filling my cup in the quiet moments, taking it slow, and holding onto the little things that made everything feel a bit lighter
