ONE LAST MONTH WITH LISA 💜

After two years teaching at Alison Pilates, Lisa is getting ready to head off — and October will be her last month with us.

Im going to miss her so much - as many of you will.

I know you will agree with me - Simply the best!!

Lisa has been such a big part of the studio, I can’t believe she is off. Our lisa but Brighton’s gain.

So this is your little reminder: if you want another class (or several!) with Lisa, for some of her layers, before she goes, get them booked in before 23rd October.

So have a look at the timetable and make sure you get some Lisa Pilates in before the end of the month. 💜

COULD YOU SEE YOURSELF TEACHING PILATES HERE? 💜

A little reminder following my post a few weeks ago…

I asked whether anyone within our studio community had ever thought about training to become a Pilates instructor.

And three people put their hands up! 🙌

So you might start seeing a few unfamiliar faces floating around the studio, watching classes and learning from us.

But I thought I’d ask again, because there might be someone else quietly thinking, “Actually, I’d quite like to do that…”

You would choose and fund your own formal instructor training, but while you train, we can give you somewhere to observe, practise, learn and start putting that training into practice.

And ultimately, the aim is to develop people who could teach some amazing classes right here in the studio .

So if you love Pilates, enjoy learning and think teaching might just be for you, come and talk with me.

You never know where it might lead. 💜

Are you free on Wednesday evenings at 5.30pm?

I’m looking for a Barre Pilates instructor to join our team at Alison Pilates in Salisbury.

If you already teach Barre, love what you do and fancy becoming part of our lovely little studio team, I’d love to hear from you!

THE CONTROLLOGY 34… FROM HAKONE, JAPAN! 🇯🇵💜

Remember my little holiday competition earlier this week? I challenged you to spot which exercises I’d missed out.

Well… here they all are! All 34, in the correct order this time! 😂

No Reformer, no equipment — just me, my mat and Joseph Pilates’ original exercises.

I do love a challenge, and it’s been lovely having the time to practise, revisit exercises and remind myself just how much work you can do on a mat.

So, did you guess the missing exercises correctly? 👀 W

THE ORIGINAL CONTROLLOGY 34

1. Hundred
2. Roll Up
3. Roll Over
4. Single Leg Circle
5. Roll Back
6. Single Leg Stretch
7. Double Leg Stretch
8. Spine Stretch Forward
9. Open Leg Rocker
10. Corkscrew
11. Saw
12. Swan
13. Single Leg Kick
14. Double Leg Kick
15. Neck Pull
16. Scissors
17. Bicycle
18. Bridge
19. Twist
20. Jackknife
21. Side Lying
22. Teaser
23. Hip Twist
24. Swimming

27. High Kneeling
28. Mermaid

Always good to have a little challenge whilst on holiday 😂💜

BACK TO WHERE IT ALL STARTED 💜

Before the Reformer, there was the Mat.

And as much as I love all the equipment, I still love going back to the original Classical Mat work - which I sneak into Tower classes sometime like

Rolling back/roll like a ball

Every Tuesday at 3pm, a little group of us get together and work our way through the exercises. We learn them, practise them and gradually get them flowing together.

You don’t need to know the Classical sequence — come and learn it with us.

Just you, your mat and your body doing the work. 😊. Next class 20th Oct - on my return from Japan

Tuesday · 3pm · Classical Mat

Come and join me and a few others. 💜

PILATES FOR LUNCH? 💜

Sometimes doing Pilates at lunch time is a great way to destress from the morning.

I run a Monday class - if you fancy a little break from work, life, screens and everything else for an hour of movement.

Could make your Monday feel different 😊

Monday · 1pm · Reformer

TWO YEARS OF LISA 💜

I genuinely can’t believe it’s been two years since Lisa joined me at Alison Pilates.

And I’m so very glad we found each other.

Over those two years Lisa has become so much more than someone who teaches classes here. She is part of the studio. Part of what makes Alison Pilates what it is.

She brings so much to her classes — and I know from the way everyone talks about her just how much we all love having her here.

Looking through these photos made me smile. Two years of teaching, learning, laughing, lunging, planking, stretching… and apparently quite a lot of pulsing. 😂

Happy two-year Alison Pilates anniversary, Lisa. 💜

I’m incredibly grateful to have you — and still can’t quite believe two years have gone by!

Definitely more organised parking in Japan - then in London
