Our mission and absolute passion is to help you build strength, tone muscles and improve fitness through the wonderful practice of Pilates.

Your strong inner core can be built by activating your deep core muscles vs the external ones - some exercises can target those muscles beautifully 😍

Put that together with breathwork to get the optimum core engagement and voila 🤌🏻

To really get that ‘switched on’ feeling with your core practice these exercises 3 times a week x12 for 3 rounds and you will most certainly strengthen within and feel more connected.

✨ Be your own magnet 🧲 …. movement and positivity helps you heal ✨

After surgery, it’s natural to want to rest and rest is important. But when you take your time and do things the right way, movement can be one of the most powerful tools for recovery ❤️‍🩹

Gentle movement helps:
✔️ Improve circulation
✔️ Reduce stiffness and swelling
✔️ Support tissue healing
✔️ Restore strength and mobility
✔️ Boost confidence in your body again

Recovery isn’t about pushing through pain or rushing the process. It’s about finding the right balance between protecting yourself and progression. Every walk, stretch, and exercise is a step toward rebuilding function and reclaiming your independence.

🍃 Remember: healing isn’t just about what happens internally it’s about helping the whole body adapt, recover, and thrive.

Over the next few months I’ll be sharing the exercises that helped me post surgery to re-build not only my core strength but also my confidence to move with agility and ease again 🤘🏻

Move with purpose. Move with patience. Move because your body was designed to heal 🍃

“Will my body ever feel strong again?”

That was the question I kept coming back to 1st - after having Daisy 🌼 and 2nd - after this recent surgery.

As a Pilates instructor, I thought I totally understood core strength… until I had to rebuild mine again from the very beginning.

No shortcuts. No rushing. Just breath, connection, and the smallest, most intentional movements.

At first, it felt strange and frustrating.
Shaking and feeling wary through exercises I used to teach with ease.
Learning to listen instead of push.

But Pilates met me where I was — not where I used to be.

And slowly:
💫My strength is returning
💫My stability improving
💫My confidence is rebuilding

And this will shape the way I teach moving forward.
With patience. With more understanding. With deep respect for every body in front of me.

Because core strength isn’t just about surface level abs — it’s about understanding your body, showing resilience and building strength in those deeper core muscles.

If you’re recovering, rebuilding, or feeling like you’ve lost your strength… you’re not behind. You’re beginning.

Watch to the end to get a little peak of toddler Daisy 🌼 - always my little assistant on the mat! Isn’t she just adorbs?!

Yummy overnight oats for your weekend brekky 🫐

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk
1/2 cup greek yoghurt
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
1/2 tea spoon vanilla extract

Mix it all together - portion it out into some cute jars/bowls - leave in fridge overnight and voila!!!!!!

Yummy brekky sorted for the whole weekend 🙌🏻

This is a staple brekky of ours now when we are not doing a longer fast through the morning - you can top with anything you like - try blueberries, nuts, extra seeds or a bit of almond butter/banana 🍌

Lots of goodness too if you ladies are focusing on a ketobiotic or hormone feasting food phase in your cycle 👌🏻💕

Even the kiddos love them 👌🏻😋

I think everyone needs to hear this - healing isn’t a race - it’s a relationship with your body 🤍

If you’re coming back to movement after surgery, birth and or injury - remember: strength doesn’t come from pushing through pain, it comes from listening, rebuilding, and showing up with patience.

Today’s win might be a deep breath, a gentle stretch, or simply choosing to try again—and that’s more than enough.
Your body has carried you through so much. Now it’s your turn to support it with kindness, intention, and care.

Start small. Stay consistent. Trust the process. You’re stronger than you think—and you’re just getting started ✨

The 5 things I wish someone had told me pre-surgery…

1- Continue small habits as soon as you can : breathwork/walking - still feeling active and productive helps recovery. Start small - build slowly.

2 - Focus on something to keep the brain active : I reached into tracking my cycle, fasting, new healthy recipes and new beauty routines.

3 - Rest often : so easy to over do it. Don’t feel guilty try and enjoy it.

4 - Spend time with loved ones - it will lift your mood and spirits x100 but remember to prioritise rest and sleep!

5- Sleep is key - but you’ll work this out quite quickly - your body will tell you trust me.

Make all of the above a little bit of fun/nicer experience - listen to a podcast, walk to your fave coffee spot as a treat, focus your mind on something that interests you I.e health and beauty. Spend quality time with your loved ones but know when it’s time to curl up and rest with your fave trash TV or book!

Hope everyone out there in recovery or healing feels better soon ❤️‍🩹 - what do you wish you’d considered before?!
