Which is better for you, Pilates or Yoga?
I am often asked which is better, Pilates or Yoga? My answer is always: It depends on what you need, what your body needs, what you will enjoy to therefore, do… I teach Pilates & Yoga my way, which is different to most other teachers. I make adaptations especially if you are living with a […]
Tights hips causing lower back pain?
How are you this Monday? Unless you have a specific injury or bulging disc, most back pain doesn’t come from problems in the back. It can be referred pain, tight hips, or weak abdominal muscles.

A year from now you will wish you started today
If only I had (enter whatever habit you are procrastinating on here) last year… I would be so much further ahead… I feel conflicted writing that first sentence because I believe everything happens at the right time, and we need to be in enough pain to push us in another direction… BUT… most of us […]
Why do you need to strengthen your feet and ankles?
The Pilates for Beginners course started last Tuesday, and week one was about your feet and how you connect to the ground to improve movement.
