GOLD STAR MOMENT ⭐⭐⭐

Today, we’re celebrating David Gunby!

In July, David broke his leg, beginning a challenging journey of recovery and rehabilitation.

At the eight-week mark, we visited David at home to put together a tailored rehabilitation programme to help him work towards getting back to the studio.

And today… David was back in the studio!

We are incredibly proud of David’s determination, courage and commitment throughout his recovery. Getting back to doing what you love after an injury takes patience, persistence and a whole lot of heart, and David has shown us just that.

David, you’ve earned your Gold Star! ⭐ We’re so pleased to have you back.

This is what we love about Pilates, supporting people through life’s challenges, helping them rebuild strength and confidence, and celebrating every milestone along the way.

Every step forward is worth celebrating!!

THE PRINCIPLES OF PILATES | BREATHING

Have you ever wondered why we teach you to breathe the way we do in Pilates? And what does your breath actually do during your practice?

Breathing is one of the fundamental principles of Pilates. It helps us connect our breath with movement, creating flow, rhythm and control.

THE WHAT & THE WHY

Flow & Rhythm: We coordinate our breath with movement to create flow and rhythm, helping us move with greater awareness and control.

Exhale & Core Connection: We often exhale through the most challenging part of an exercise. This can help us engage our deep abdominal muscles, our “abdominal corset” - supporting spinal stability and controlled movement.

Relaxation & Focus: Conscious breathing helps us focus, become more present in our practice and release unnecessary tension.

The beauty of Pilates is that every detail has a purpose. Understanding your breath can help you develop greater body awareness, control and confidence, both on and off the Reformer.

Next time you're in class, notice your breath. It might just change the way you move.

My favourite Pilates exercise… the Mermaid! 🧜‍♀️

A beautiful side bend with so many benefits - improving spinal and side-body mobility, stretching the obliques and muscles between the ribs, opening the hips, encouraging deeper breathing and building core control.

It’s a wonderful way to improve posture, ease tension and move your spine in a direction we often neglect in everyday life.

And speaking of movement… research shows that planning and booking your classes ahead can help you stay consistent and work towards your goals.

So, have you booked your favourite Pilates classes for the week ahead?

Plan it. Book it. Move it. 💛

Trust the process. Consistency is key.

We’ll see you in the studio!

The MenoMethod
Movement, Mindfulness & Menopause

A supportive 10-week Pilates journey for women in midlife.

Perimenopause and menopause can bring changes to your body, your energy, your sleep, your strength and the way you feel in yourself.

The MenoMethod was created to help you navigate this stage with greater understanding, strength and confidence.

This isn't about pushing harder or doing more. It's about moving smarter, building strength safely, supporting your nervous system and feeling more at home in your body again.

Over 10 weeks, we combine:

• Reformer Pilates designed with the midlife body in mind
• Strength, mobility, balance, core & pelvic floor-focused movement
• Breathwork to support nervous system regulation
• Mindfulness and time to slow down and reconnect
• Practical education and tools to support your wellbeing through midlife

More than a Pilates class, The MenoMethod brings together movement, breathwork, mindfulness and education in a small, supportive group specifically for women navigating midlife and hormonal change.

You don't need to be fit, flexible or experienced in Pilates. Everything is thoughtfully layered with options and progressions, allowing you to work at your own pace.

COURSE 4 — 2026
Tuesday 13 October – Tuesday 15 December
5.30pm | 10 weeks
Balance Pilates Cashmere

The course is led by Bronwyn Beck, experienced Pilates teacher, Menopause Lifestyle Practitioner & Coach and Pranayama Breathwork Practitioner.

Places are limited. If you've been thinking about joining, this is your last chance to be part of the October course.
