POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I'm excited to be offering some new classes this month. From 30th October I'll be teaching three new sessions: two reformer classes and a four-week workshop.

The workshop builds on the MELT sessions I teach on Tuesdays in North Devon. This time we're delving deeper into the individual fascial meridians, focusing on four of the superficial fascial lines.

Expect a mix of qualities: moments of yielding and surrender, and moments of dynamic, springy movement, combining movement and self-massage so the tissue can soften and reorganise naturally. It's less about stretching and more about discovering how tissue shapes the way you move.

Week 1- 30th October- Superficial Back Line. From soles to scalp, releasing what gathers from holding ourselves upright all day.

£50 for the 4 week workshop and run on Fridays at 12-1pm starting 30th October

As a teacher, it's easy to only show what we're good at. Here is me, choosing the sequences that still challenge me most. Watching it back, I noticed the wobbles, but I also noticed strength, flow and control that weren't there a year ago. It's a good reminder of what I tell my clients: progress is quiet and gradual, and you often don't see it until you look back. Keep going. It's working, even when it doesn't feel like it.

Hip Circles Prep — from the BASI advanced repertoire

Thanks @lisa.lamberti for this one in this student time ,
I often avoid this one but need more!

The objective here is hip flexor control while maintaining lumbar stabilisation — the hip flexors work concentrically as the leg circles through, all while the spine stays supported and still.

It's a genuinely demanding movement, and with hypermobile elbows, I have to work extremely hard to keep from overextending through them — something I can see myself doing here. I'm focusing on using my back extensors to lift out of the position rather than sinking into the joints. This can also be done with bent knees, but straight-leg like this, it's a brilliant one for building real hip flexor strength. 🙃

Expect this in more of my classes!
Teachers always a student

Life gets busy, and the first thing we drop is usually the thing that holds everything else together — some kind of routine for our own body.

Pilates and movement don't just happen on the mat. They're a structure you build into your week — something that stays consistent even when nothing else does.

Thursday is a good place to start. One session before Friday rolls in and the weekend takes over — a steady hour that's just yours.

**9am — Mat Pilates @ Blue Lights Hall, Appledore**
All levels. A calm, unhurried start to the day.
Book:

**11.30am — Mat Pilates @ Shanti, Bideford**
60 minutes on strength, stability, mobility and body awareness.

Location: Blue Lights Hall, Appledore / Shanti, 46 Mill Street, Bideford

The best strength training plan is the one you’ll actually do

It doesn’t need to be fancy.

It doesn’t need to take hours every week.

It just needs to work for you, your running, and your life.

Because the best exercises aren’t always the most complicated ones!

They’re the ones that help you feel stronger, more confident and support what you love doing.

That’s exactly what we focused on a couple of weeks ago at the 2nd The Runners' Network 💪

Simple, effective movements that runners can actually take away and use in their own training.

No overwhelm.
No unnecessary extras.
Just things that work.

Join @kiomijade_ and me in September for round 3:

**One-to-One Pilates: 1-1 Apparatus sessions

1-1 session we may move across Mat, Cadillac, Tower, Reformer, and Wunda Chair, each bringing something different — resistance work, supported stretching and alignment, and focused balance and strength.

Because it's just the two of us, everything is shaped around your body and how you're feeling that day. Nothing is one-size-fits-all.

These sessions are £55 and take place at Georgia Vaines Pilates Studio in Exeter.

Please book via link in bio

Runners Network: An Evening of Strength, Stability & Connection

What a jam-packed evening we had with the Runners Network! Whether you're pounding pavement, training for your next race, or simply want to walk and run with more ease, this session was all about building the full-body foundation that makes movement feel better.

We dove into strength, stability, and balance — the three pillars that keep runners resilient and moving well. Using resistance bands, we explored directional movements to build strength through the planes runners actually move in, not just forward and back. We brought in Pilates props to find scapular support, helping create a strong, stable upper body that holds you up mile after mile. And we grounded it all with proprioceptive foot work — really feeling into the feet and finding that connection with the ground that so many of us lose touch with.

These aren't just runner drills — they're for anyone who wants to move through life with more awareness, support, and ease, whether that's on a run, a walk, or just day to day.

Thank you to everyone who came out and moved with us. Next one is 4th Sept ...info incoming soon follow @leanneaverypt for more updates for the next Runners Network by @compass_pilates_
