Sometimes plans just come to me, whether that’s because of things I've seen clients do and I just want to delve in to that a bit more. Or maybe I notice a shift in energy, so I try to respond to that too. And other times I can completely draw a blank, feel overwhelmed that the work isn’t varied enough or maybe it’s too complicated or it’s repetitive. That’s when I put my pen down and just start moving for me and see what comes up that way.

Mostly, I work on the basis that movement is key. Movement in all planes. Movement to challenge the brain. Movement to release. Movement to stabilise and to become strong.

Lesson plans are just the base, responding to the energy in the room, the new injuries or limitations is where the fun really begins.

Heyyy 👋🏼

How are your legs and back doing today? Wanna have a little stretchy?

Here’s your little movement snack for today. Stand behind a chair or whilst you’re waiting for your lunch to heat up in the staff kitchen pop your hands on the kitchen counter, walk backwards pushing hips back and chest lowers between long straight arms. Reset by rounding the back gently and stepping in.

This is by far one of my top 5-immediate-relief-make-me-feel-bloody-good movements.

Try it. Your hamstrings, lower back, shoulders and chest will quite literally fizz, crackle and pop with sheer excitement they are getting to move right.

Im off to get my fix of it. See ya x taken in Red Bay Pilates by @redbaypilates

If you've landed here because Instagram served you one of my Reels – hello! 👋

I'm Grace and Red Bay is my Pilates studio here in East Devon.

Around here, we're much more interested in moving well, learning how we can move better and enjoying our bodies than trying to make them look a particular way.

On this account you'll find useful Pilates tips, simple things to try at home, studio life, the occasional rant and me reminding you to wind your neck in approximately once a week.

If that sounds useful, follow along – you're very welcome here ❤️ by @redbaypilates

The lovely @crystal.healingwithvicky is running a monthly crystal circle here at The Red Bay Studio with the first two dates set for 30th October and 4th December. From the New Year, this monthly session will be on the last Friday of every month.

During each circle you will:

- Meditate and connect with the featured crystal and essential oil (yours to keep)
- Share insights or reflections if you feel called to
- Receive a mini crystal healing with intuitively placed stones to support your energy.

To book your space, head to Vicky's website. The link is in her bio: @crystal.healingwithvicky by @redbaypilates

Can we retire “no pain, no gain” yet? 🙃

Feeling “pain” during or after isn't proof that you've had a better workout. In fact, this would be a red flag for me. I’d be questioning why am I getting pain. My dear Mother always says “I notice the benefits of Pilates when I stop doing Pilates” and that right there, my IG friends is the goal.

Good quality movement is about control, strength, awareness and working appropriately for your body.

Welcome to Pilates Myth of the Month – I'll be back to annoy another fitness cliché soon.

Follow if you'd like to see which one gets it next. 👀

Traditionally September and October have become the “I’m going to do that thing” goal. Movement practitioners see a little spike in interest from those that have got their summer fun out of the way, hosted a heap of visitors or in the case of those living in seaside towns like ours return from hiding away giving space for the summer tourists to take over.

New routines! New goals! New you! Except… you don't actually need a new you.

If getting back into a routine after summer makes you feel good, brilliant. Come and move with us. But we're not exercising to make up for holidays, ice creams, pub gardens or anything else you enjoyed over summer.

We're just getting back to moving because moving feels good. That's enough. 🤗 by @redbaypilates

A few things you won't be getting from me any time soon 😂

I want Red Bay to be somewhere you can move your body without feeling judged, punished or like you're trying to achieve someone else's idea of what fitness should look like.

We'll work hard. You'll probably discover muscles you didn't know existed. There may be some questionable facial expressions.

But we're here to feel good, not guilty.

Follow along if that's your kind of movement. ❤️ by @redbaypilates
