You've never done the Elephant on the Reformer until you felt it on a classical Reformer!

So many times we see this on social media and in Pilates studios being taught like a downdog in yoga.

❌ Swinging the hips like it's a hamstring stretch only.
❌ Pressing through the arms to give maximal range.

The trouble is on more modern reformers, the carriage does most of the work so you press out quite far and easily and then the carriage rolls you in easily!

But in a classical Reformer, there's a lot more resistance and the springs do not roll you in. YOU have to do the work in your powerhouse! 💕

If you're used to doing the Elephant in a modern way, then how about trying it out on a classical Reformer in our studio - it's a game changer 💥

There are places you go to exercise. And then there are places that become part of your story. 🧡

With our beautiful old beams, warm surroundings and room to move, The Wellbeing Pod is a space to slow down, reconnect with your body and give yourself a little of the care you give everyone else.

We've always believed wellbeing should be about more than how you look or just a fad hashtag.

We don't just teach Pilates or Yoga.
We help you find a wellbeing plan for both in and out the studio that gets you out of pain, feel more confident in your body, tackle menopause, deal with osteoporosis, recover from hip replacement, fall back in love with exercise.

It's about how you feel when you get out of bed. How confidently you climb the stairs. How freely you move. How much of life you get to say yes to.

That's what happens here.

Not chasing a perfect body. Building a body you can trust.

Try is out.

🍂 The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go.

In TCM, Autumn is linked with the Metal element, the Lungs and Large Intestine, and is a time associated with breath, boundaries, release and letting go.

So rather than simply telling yourself to “slow down”, try giving your body some practical support as the seasons change:

🌬️ 1. Breathe deeply
Take 5 slow breaths, focusing on a longer, softer exhale. Let your ribs expand rather than just lifting your shoulders.

🍂 2. Move your body
Gentle twisting, side bending and opening through the chest can help you feel less compressed and more spacious.

🫖 3. Warm things up
TCM traditionally favours warmer foods and drinks as autumn arrives. Think soups, stews, cooked vegetables, ginger and warming spices.

🧘‍♀️ 4. Create a little more quiet
Autumn naturally invites a shift inward. Give yourself 10 minutes without your phone, noise or another person's demands.

📝 5. Practise letting go
Ask yourself:
What am I carrying that I no longer need?
A thought? A habit? An expectation? A relationship? A version of yourself?

And remember...

Letting go isn't giving up.
It's making space. 🍁

Do you need help with back pain? 🙏

Your back doesn’t need MORE stretching. It might need more strength in order to stretch. 👀

If your back feels tight, compressed or constantly niggly, try this instead:

💪 Strengthen
🎯 Stabilise
🧘‍♀️ Then stretch

We've shared a few simple tips in the video to help you start moving out of that compressed feeling and build a back that can actually support you.

Want more than quick fixes?

Do we start here?
No. Of course we don’t. ❤️

This is what your Pilates journey might look like one day.

But we don't expect you to walk through the door and suddenly be able to do this.

We start where you are.

Small movements.
Simple exercises.
Building strength, stability and control
Finding mobility.
Laying down the important foundations
Getting to know your body again.

Then, slowly but surely, what once looked impossible starts to become possible.

And do we want this for you, if your body is capable of it? - Yes. Of course we do!

Not because you need to perform impressive tricks.

But because we want you to discover just how much your body can do when you give it the right foundations.

Start small. Dream big.

Build a body you can trust. 🧡
