And we’re back with part 2 of the Pilates principles 👀

This time, it’s all about control, precision and flow. Three things that can completely change how a movement feels.

💪 Control: Pilates isn’t about throwing yourself through the movement. Slow it down, stay in charge and see what happens when you don’t let momentum do all the work.

🎯 Precision: it’s the little things. Where are your feet? Is your pelvis steady? Are you moving from where you actually want to move? Small adjustments can make a BIG difference.

🌊 Flow: once you’ve found your control and precision, let the movements connect. Less stopping and starting, more rhythm, breath and feeling your body move as one.

And again, this isn’t about being perfect. Sometimes your balance disappears, your leg does something completely unexpected or you forget which side you’re on. 😂 That’s Pilates too.

The goal is to move with intention, not perfection. 🤍

✨ A little reminder to keep doing things that scare you.

Have you heard of Misogi? It’s a Japanese-inspired practice built around taking on a meaningful challenge once a year. Something that pushes you beyond what you think you’re capable of and reminds you that you’re capable of more than you might believe.

For me, that was hiking the Samaria Gorge in Crete. 🏔️
17km. 1,200m of descent. 5.5 hours on my feet.

Something I had never done before and honestly, never thought I would enjoy as much as I did.

But somewhere between the steep descents, tired legs, breathtaking views and the sheer joy of being out in nature, I realised how good it feels to do something you didn’t know you could do.

I think we sometimes get a little too comfortable doing the things we already know we’re good at. We stick to what feels familiar, what feels safe, what we know we can manage.

But there’s something special about choosing to be a beginner again. To feel a little nervous, to surprise yourself, and to come out the other side thinking: I actually did that. And I loved it.

And I want more of that. More adventures, more challenges, more moments that remind me what my body and mind are capable of.

Maybe your Misogi is a hike. Maybe it’s trying a new sport, going somewhere alone, learning something new or simply showing up to something that feels a little intimidating.

It doesn’t have to be extreme. It just has to mean something to you.

So here’s your little nudge to keep choosing the things that stretch you, challenge you and make you feel alive. Not because you have to prove anything, but because there’s so much joy waiting on the other side of I don’t think I can.

🥹 Feeling so grateful for this beautiful review.

LAOLA is more than just a Pilates class — it’s a welcoming community where we move, connect, have fun and support each other. 🤍

As we transition from our outdoor Monday Pilates sessions on Paddy’s Hill and the beach into autumn, there are still plenty of ways to keep moving, relaxing and connecting.

Join us online for regular Pilates classes, or take some time for yourself at one of our special mini retreats this fall — with Pilates, breathwork, meditation, sound baths and space to slow down and reset. 🍂✨

Pricing and booking are available via the link in bio. You can also DM or email me with any questions.

Come as you are and bring a friend. 🫶

Move and laugh this week.✨💃

Monday we move from the comfort of our home. This is a series of online sessions starting at 7pm where we revisit the pilates principles. This week the focus will be breath and how to use it during your pilates practice in different ways. Book in through Wunderbook. Drop in 15€ or bundles available. First class is free.

Friday we make time to start into the week right with movement and bit of laughter. This is an in-person outdoor pilates class on the grass on Malahide green across from Starbucks or Donnybrook fair. It’s hard enough to build up the courage to try new things and meet new people, so just show up, this class is for free.

I hope to see you this week!

The Pilates principles are what take your practice from “doing the exercises” to really understanding how to move. 🤍

And that’s why I love combining our summer outdoor classes with our winter online practice.

☀️ Summer in person: Paddy’s Hill + Malahide Village, where we can focus on adjustments, connection, community and having fun together.

🍂 Winter online: a slower, more relaxed space to dive deeper into the Pilates principles, understand your body and build your practice with consistency.

Together, they give you the best of both worlds: learn, practise, understand and feel amazing all year round.

And yes, there’s also no driving, parking or heading out into the rain. 😂

Join me online every Monday at 7pm.
🎥 Unlimited class replay
🤍 €15 drop-in, first class FREE
🌿 Bundles from €12.50 per class (if you commit to 12 classes)

Pilates has a few little secrets that make the movements feel so much better. 👀

And no, you don’t need to nail every move perfectly. 😂

🌬️ Breath: keep breathing, especially when things get spicy. Your exhale can help you find a little more ease instead of clenching everything.

🧠 Concentration: actually notice what you’re doing. Where do you feel it? Can you slow it down? Are your neck or shoulder’s lifted when you don’t have to? I love all this attention to detail@in pilates to teach you movement pattern!

🤍 Centering: think of your middle (like stomach AND back) as your home base. Find that feeling of support through your centre, then let your arms and legs move from there.

The beauty of Pilates is that it’s not about perfection. It’s about getting to know your body, moving with more awareness and enjoying the process. 🌿

Want to dive deeper into the principles and practise them together? That’s what we do in the winter. Join me online every Monday. Can’t make it live? You’ll get the replay to enjoy whenever it suits you.
