I didn’t come to Pilates through fitness. I came to it through rehabilitation.
After back surgery, local physio Mary Murdoch gave me some Pilates based exercises as part of my recovery.
What really struck me was how different some very familiar looking movements felt when I understood what I was actually meant to be stabilising, activating and controlling.
At the time, I was already teaching yoga and working a lot with movement and breath, so Pilates didn’t feel like a huge change of direction. It felt more like another piece of the puzzle. Another way of understanding how the body moves, supports itself and reconnects after injury.
And because I’m someone who always wants to know why, I kept learning, leading me to train in Classical Mat Pilates myself with Contrology Gymnasium - Classical Pilates.
That experience still really shapes the way I teach now.
My classes aren’t about simply getting through a workout. I want you to understand what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and what you should actually be feeling.
More than anything, I’d love to help you reconnect with your body.
If Pilates is new to you, I’d love to introduce you to it in a way that feels welcoming and approachable. You don’t need to arrive knowing what you’re doing. That’s what I’m there for.
Monday nights for the Blokes, Tuesday Mornings for All.
If you’ve been thinking about giving it a go, I’d love to see you there.
Much love
Lisa 🙏💚
