How long do you think it takes to plan one pilates class??? Sometimes… up to TWO HOURS.!!! (If not more)1️⃣ Research & inspiration 📚📱 Reading through mountains of books. Scrolling YouTube and Instagram for inspiration. (Yes, we happily take inspo from other studios, instructors and friends around the world ☺️)2️⃣ Knowing you 👀📝 Checking the class list: Who can improve on what. Who hates a certain exercise (but we do it anyway 😉).Injuries to consider. Who’s pregnant. Who might be grieving or low on energy, so we don’t push too hard.3️⃣ Modifications for everyone 🤸‍♀️ Every single exercise is planned with options… just in case someone is a little tired that day.4️⃣ Creating seamless flow 👌🤩 No faffing with: Box on. Box off. Grab the ball. Put the ball back. Now grab the circle. Just continuous movement from start to finish. #pilatesflow 5️⃣ Full choreography 👯‍♀️ From where the weights start: carriage right or platform.. to how each transition feels. Not clumpy. Every detail is planned so it’s smooth, efficient and flawless.6️⃣ Props (trial & error) ⚙️ Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don’t. At RE+FORM, we RE+FINE, RE+THINK and RE+PLAN 😘😘😘because excellence is intentional!.A close team, a deep respect for pilates and a considered approach to how you move with us ✨#pilates#crawley#horsham #movewithus by @keevawoods

Celebrations done and reminiscing on the couch 😴 My 30s have well and truly been absolutely INCREDIBLE. What a chapter. 🥹✨A decade of taking risks, changing direction, building a family, building businesses, moving somewhere knowing NO ONE, dancing, teaching, fashion, love, loss, growth… and somehow finding my way through it all. 🤍2016, 30 Turned 30 dancing on stage at midnight in Cannes with my 19 year old dance partner. ☀️Back to London life. Auditioning, shows, dancing and chasing the dream. ✨2017, 31 Began working at ASOS as a fit model, alongside dancing and teaching.2018, 32 More ASOS, incredible dance jobs, amazing experiences and friendships. 💃2019, 33 More ASOS, dance and teaching… and decided to do “one more dance contract” in Mexico! 🇲🇽✨2020, 34 Mexico done, and boom straight into COVID. What a year. Met our beautiful Hope when I took a nanny role during lockdown. 🤍 Made the crazy decision to move to out of London with my partner, knowing NO ONE!!! And started studying Dance Traching diploma and Pilates… 👀✨2021, 35 Bought our house in Horsham at the start of the year. 🏡 Got engaged at the end of the year! 💍😭2022, 36 Our baby was born. 😍🤍2023, 37 Slowly started stepping away from teaching and working with the fashion houses… 😭 A huge identity shift and the beginning of something new.2024, 38 Opened RE+FORM. 🥹✨ A dream became real.2025, 39 Opened RE+FORM 2.0. 🚀🤍 Bigger vision. Bigger dreams. More growth.2026, 40 Vision board pending… 👀✨🤞 there is still SO much more to come.My 30s gave me a career I adored, unforgettable adventures, incredible new friendships, lost friendships 😞 lost family members and friends… 💔found a new home, a new fiancé and our beautiful new baby, found the courage to completely reinvent myself and somehow build and found something of my own. Couldn’t do it without my mammy and my partner ❤️💪What a decade. What a chapter.30s… you were absolutely incredible. 🥹🤍✨40s, I’m ready for you…. vision board… loading. ✨🤞🌈(20 pictures was not enoug! so much more I wanted to post) Thanks for all the HB msgs from all my friends around the world 😭🙏🧑‍🩰 by @keevawoods

I was going to post a lovely reel of me doing our lovely spinal movement class plan with the fan blowing on me like Beyoncé. Instead, I’m posting this….. to show that noone is perfect. I used to dance an 8 minute can-can in a huge show in Paris!!!! (12 shows a week… ok a long time ago) Approaching the big 4-0, with hip dysplasia and arthritis, there are some movements my body simply doesn’t enjoy anymore. 😭👵And honestly? Today it upset me. I cried, it’s crap. No amount of pilates will fix them. It’s my anatomy. 💔 It’s a massive reminder that Pilates isn’t about forcing myself into the shape of an exercise. As teachers, we adapt for our clients every day. t’s about working with the body we have in front of us. Sometimes i need to remember to do the same for myself. 🙏❤️(And yes I normally use a prop, but today I wanted to try without in the hope maybe my hips were 34 again 🤞)🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️#dancermentality #hips#pilates #mermaid @reformpilateswestsussex by @keevawoods

You might notice that we repeat a lot of the same exercises in class. (It’s not because we have ran out of new fresh ideas)Repetition is where progress happens.✨ Each time you perform an exercise, your body learns a little more. ✨ Movement patterns become more familiar and more efficient. ✨ Strength, control and coordination improve. ✨ You start to notice the finer details. ✨ And sometimes, the thing you’ve been working on for weeks suddenly clicks on the sixth or seventh attempt. 👏Pilates isn’t about collecting hundreds of exercises. It’s about mastering the fundamentals. The basics work!!!! Keep showing up, keep practising and trust the process. 🙏Repetition is key to improving!! 🧑🏼‍🩰#footwork#hundred#feetinstraps#chestexpansion#SpinalMovement by @keevawoods

Long Stretch is honestly one of my most challenging exercises. I’ve never naturally been an “arms and shoulders” girl so exercises like this have taken me ALOT of time, patience and consistency.. Building shoulder stability and upper body strength isn’t just for Pilates, it’s for life outside the studio too. ☺️Strong enough to 💪carry your heavy children comfortably 💪lift shopping bags without neck tension 💪improve posture and support your upper back 💪feel stronger in everyday movement and support your other movement classes. 💪move with more confidence as you get older 👵 At RE+FORM we are about building your body up to support you and your real life. that’s exactly why we repeat exercises in class. 🙏#longstretch#Shoulders #stability#reformer by @keevawoods
