📌Save this quick tip!
Sometimes we switch off when it comes to our side lying leg exercises -and we ‘swing’ our leg rather than engage the correct muscles.
Get your form correct…lie against a wall - kick your legs forward off the wall but keep your back the length of the wall, pull in those tummy muscles. As your leg moves don’t let your back rock or roll off the wall.
Try these:
Leg kick forwards x 8
Leg lower and lifts x 8
Small circles in one direction x 8
Change direction with your circles x 8
Let me know if this helps, and if your can feel your hips and AB’s work harder!

MEN, YOU DON’T NEED TO BE FLEXIBLE TO START PILATES. THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE HERE FOR.

Today I taught a semi-private equipment class with an all-male group, it was just by chance they had booked the same class. And for me, teaching a method that was designed by a man for Men….it was magic! Men are finally starting to come show up for classes, and the best bit is, once they start they don’t stop!

These guys didn’t walk through my door because they wanted a quick fix. They started because they felt stiff, lacked flexibility and wanted to move better.

Months later, they’re still showing up. They’re consistent, they listen, they trust the process and they let me do what I love doing most — teach Pilates, and not only do I see the improvements in their bodies but they all feel it.

The thing about Pilates is;

You don’t have to be flexible before you start.
You don’t have to be fit enough.
You don’t need to lose weight first.
And you certainly don’t need to wait until you feel ready!

Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to look a certain way or achieve a particular result that we forget to enjoy the process of getting stronger, moving better and feeling good in our bodies.

These men remind me that so often the best thing you can do is simply show up, trust your teacher and give your body time.

So, to the men watching this who think Pilates isn’t for them… come and give it a go. I know you will be surprised by how much you enjoy it.

And to anyone who’s been waiting until they’re fitter, stronger or more flexible to start — this is your sign.

✨ Maybe this is the sign you’ve been waiting for…

To move better.
To feel stronger.
To ease those aches and pains.
To make a little time for YOU.

You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to be fit.
You just need to start.

Let me help you build strength, improve your mobility and feel more confident in your body, one class at a time.

I spent way too long recording this 😆

Next time your practicing at home try this simple tip and see does it reduce any pain your may feel in your neck from doing Pilates.
Most of the time if we start to feel our neck it could be:
✅ we’re tired - you’ve done too many reps
✅ we’re not engaging our tummy to take our head off the floor
✅we’re pushing our chin on to our chest
✅ we’re using our arms shoulders

Try 3 or 4 reps and see if this tip will help reduce your neck pain.
Let me know in the comments below 😉⬇️

📌Save this quick tip! Neck pain in Pilates is very common….here is a simple tip to help. Very often it’s because we’re using our neck to lift our head instead we should be using our tummy muscles.
Give this tip a practice and let me know if it helps!

The teacher in me just CAN’T let it go!

I was happily doing some Pilates when my husband joined in too, and while I tried to focus on my exercise and encouraging him along, I had to make some adjustments for him because it would make all the difference to what he would feel.

This is exactly why small classes make all the difference.

Because you’re not just another person in the room.

I’m watching how you move.
I’m listening to how you respond to my cues.
I’m looking at what needs adjusting.
I’ll use my hands to help you find the movement so you can actually feel the difference.

Because we all know the smallest adjustment can completely change an exercise.

And I want you to leave my classes thinking:

“Wow… I really felt that.”

That’s the Pilates I teach.

Not just getting through the exercises.

Not just following along.

But understanding your body, moving well and getting the most out of every class.

Small classes mean I can see you. And when I can see you, I can teach YOU.
Join me for Real Pilates ❤️

That’s the difference.

📌Save this post! Finally my timetable for September is here. A change to my group mat classes for times and location due to renovations in the tennis club. Barre classes are gone for now but I hope will be back in October. All mat classes will be Level 1 - so suitable for all so long as you have no injuries.
Semi-private and Private classes - in these classes we use a variety of equipment, mat, reformer, tower, small barrel, spine corrector, Wunda Chair. Semi-private are 4 person classes, great to really experience the classical Pilates equipment. Private classes are great if you are injured or totally new to Pilates. Both of these classes require booking directly with me and a 24hr cancellation policy is required if not, you forfeit your class and the cost of that class.
If you’re looking for real pilates, this is where you come to.

📌Save this quick tip!
The Shoulder Bridge is one of my favourite exercises - it is great for stretching your back and finding your ‘sticky spots’ in your back, when you can spend a little bit more time slowly articulating your spine to get a deeper stretch.
We also work our butt muscles, hamstrings, core and hips, it’s a great strengthening exercise for these muscles. BUT non of it feels good if your just getting knee pain - if that’s the case, just move your feet further away from your butt and see will that help, bring a little more awareness to squeezing your butt.
Follow along for simple tips 😊

Six classes. 20 minutes. €30. Let me tell you why this is worth it. 👇

I know you’re busy. I know the evenings disappear and mornings can be a rush to work, and we have kids at home now…..all summer . That’s exactly why I kept these classes short — 20 to 25 minutes, no equipment, no commute, just you and your mat whenever it suits.

And before you think “Pilates isn’t for me” — these classes are built for all levels. Whether you’re a complete beginner or you’ve been moving for years, you’ll find your place here.

I’ve been teaching Pilates for years and I’ve worked with all kinds of bodies, all kinds of busy lives, and everything in between. I know what works, I know what your body needs, and I know how to get you feeling it in the right places. You’re in safe, experienced hands.

Six brand new classes for €30. That’s €5 a class!

Your body deserves 20minutes.
