It's been a minute since I nourished myself with some Pilates self-practice for the sheer purpose of just exploring my body.

I'm noticing how part of my body is struggling to organise itself where injury and decreased hip mobility have slowly but significantly made themselves louder.

Documenting to overcome my own debilitating levels of perfectionism...

Been sitting on this for a while. It's the most honest thing I've written about teaching and I've rewritten it more times than I'd like to admit.

If you're a movement teacher who's ever quietly questioned "Is this really sustainable?", this one's for you!

If the body is a temple, @shanicelvb has the maintenance schedule.

Finding her practice through injury but staying for an education in movement science, this Pilates girlie is more than a cute ‘fit (although she has tons of those) 💕

Trained across the full apparatus and a mentor to new teachers, Shanice knew Pilates before the Reformer became a personality trait.

Let’s just say, wellbeing doesn’t stop at the studio door…

A fashion babe and foodie at heart, she’s big on personal style, eating to nourish from the inside out, hiking, callisthenics and impulsively booking wellness retreats.

When I was in sixth form college, I had a friend who had a Sickle Cell crisis. I remember getting her home from the hospital, running her a bath and sitting on the bathroom floor while she lay there to soothe the pain. I didn’t truly understand what she was experiencing but what I could offer was to show up.

The other day, I got to show up again – this time for my friend @by.nyao who lives with the same chronic illness and asked me to teach a Pilates class for her brainchild @roomto.move. I met her over a year ago when she came to a class I was teaching and then we randomly reunited on a swimming retreat in Greece, so our friendship is quite literally rooted in movement.

I know first-hand that movement is medicine and I’m grateful to be able to give someone a space when their body doesn’t always feel like it belongs to them. 🫶🏿

121’s with Shanice

Some of you have been asking about 1:1 sessions, and we’re pleased to say Shanice has space for a few at the studio.

Shanice’s training is rooted in movement science, and her teaching comes from her own experience of injury and rehabilitation, with a focus on functional strength. She has a real eye for how the body compensates.

In a private session, she can give your movement the full, considered attention a group class doesn’t get to.

Private sessions are a good fit if you’re working back from an injury, training for a sport, want to go deeper on the Reformer, or try other equipment like the Cadillac and Stability Chair.

To book, email or message us at the studio and will put you in touch 💫 by @shanicelvb

Crossed the river for a gorgeous Mat Pilates class at @plumpilatesldn taught by @roamepilates in partnership with @theunderdays 🤌🏿

About 8 years ago I turned up to an advanced classical mat Pilates class. I was humbled, to say the least, but I've been in love ever since.

Lately, I've been bringing the Series of 5 (in various iterations) into some of my Reformer and Tower classes. The looks on my clients' faces? They're humbled too but we moveee (literally) 😅
