Monday mornings at Stapeley just hit different 💚✨
There’s something about starting the week with Pilates — moving, stretching, strengthening and taking a little time for yourself before the week gets busy.
Our Monday morning classes at Stapeley are always full of good energy, friendly faces and, of course, a little bit of Pilates magic! 🧘‍♀️
Monday… nothing Pilates won’t fix. 😉
Thank you to everyone who joins us each week — we absolutely love seeing you on the mat! 💚

A little quiet moment from class 🩵

Watching clients become more connected, controlled and at ease in their movement will never stop being one of my favourite parts of teaching.

She makes it look effortless — but that's the beauty of consistent practice ✨

A little personal milestone for Sarah 🤍

After years of teaching Pilates as a physio, I recently completed my APPI Matwork certification.

It pushed me — filming my teaching, taking an exam and logging hours of study and practice. My teaching was also formally assessed and reviewed by the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute one of the leading Pilates teacher training providers in the UK.

Really proud to come away with:
98% theory & 84% practical 👏

For my clients, this means you can be confident you’re being guided with a high level of clinical reasoning, attention to detail, and safe, effective progression.

As physios, we’re committed to continual learning — staying open-minded, refining our practice, and welcoming ongoing assessment and feedback

Change doesn't happen over night.
Show up for yourself today, even if it’s just a few minutes on your mat 🤍.

Thanks for all our lovely clients showing up this week so far getting stronger every class 💙

Pilates… but make it motherhood 🩵

Today we celebrate all the different experiences of motherhood.

To the mums doing their best every day.
To the new mums learning as they go.
To those who are hoping to become mums.
To those missing their mums today.
And to the women who nurture, support and care in so many ways.

Motherhood looks different for everyone, and today we’re holding space for all of it.

Tag a Pilates mum who would relate to this✨

What we do 🩵

The original Pilates started in the 1920s and was originally called "contrology".  It consisted of 34  strengthening and mobility exercises designed to alter abnormal movements patterns and correct muscle imbalances.

In the early 2000s it was recognised that the original Pilates movements were not always suitable for everyone due to the high level of strength and control required to preform them. Two Australian physiotherapists took the 34 original movements and modified them to allow them to be taught at various levels of intensity. These modifications allow physiotherapists to teach Pilates at the level that suits the individual and allows them to progress through levels more easily.  

There are lots of other types of Pilates, but physio- led Pilates has the added bonus of being taught by physiotherapists who are experts in anatomy,  physiology and movement. Meaning that physio-led Pilates is suitable for ANYONE regardless of age, fitness, or even if they have an injury.
