Breathing

🌬️ Breathing is the first act of life... and the last

– Joseph Pilates

And in between? We forget how to do it properly.

We rush. We hold our breath when we’re stressed. We breathe shallow and fast when we’re tired. It all adds up.

Pilates brings it back. Back to breath, posture and moving with more awareness. It's not just about muscles – it's about how we move and how we breathe through it.

Simple, steady breathing. Movement that resets you. It works.

How’s your breathing today?

Breathing

🚗 If your body had warning lights...

… would you ignore them?

Joseph Pilates said we should treat our bodies like we treat our cars, regular movement, proper care, don’t leave it sitting idle.

Imagine your hips flashing “Too much sitting”

Your shoulders beeping “Posture alert”

And your brain shouting “Low energy – move now!” 😅

Thing is, those signs do show up. Just not with flashing lights.

Pilates helps me keep the engine running, fewer creaks, better posture and a bit more get, up, and, go to face the day.

You wouldn’t skip your MOT... don’t skip your mat.

Dont ignore the warning lights

💪 Some moves just don’t come easy

V sits and I have a bit of a love, hate thing going on 😅

It’s one of those exercises I really have to work at, especially if I know I’ll be demonstrating it in class. Some days it feels okay, other days… not so much.

We all have our favourites and we all have the ones that feel like a battle. That’s normal.

Pilates isn’t about being perfect at everything. It’s about progress, awareness and doing what your body needs.

So whether you’re flying through a move or wobbling your way through it like me, the main thing is, you showed up. You tried. You moved. That’s what matters most.
