“Maybe one day you will have your own studio.”

Words spoken by my teacher, Susanna Foustok, during one of our mentoring sessions.

At the time, I couldn’t quite imagine it, and everyday I’m overjoyed with everything that has come from hearing those words for the very first time.

And now years later, Susanna stands inside the very studio she had once encouraged me to believe was possible.

Grateful to have my journey into Contrology and the opening of Amanahbody published in
Pure Journal, Volume 2.

Still a student. Always learning.

Thank you, Susanna and Pure Pilates, for your guidance, belief and commitment to the method.

Teacher Practice Now Open!

Teachers need space to reflect, question and continue to practice.

Since opening Amanahbody, I have seen so many instructors come to learn the Contrology apparatus and Joseph Pilates Contrology method. This has prompted a new class format specifically for curious contemporary teachers.

Friday - 4:30-5:30pm
Saturday - 2-3pm
DM me for any questions.

‘Pilates has to be discovered in one’s own body.’ Jay Grimes

One of the things I value most in the lineage I have studied is the encouragement to develop a relationship with the work through experiencing it, self practice on the Contrology apparatus.

The apparatus provides feedback.

The body learns to listen.

Over time, movement becomes less about instruction and more about understanding.

Strut is a community. We can't run it without people like Preena and Melany here who give their time and love to these precious nights.

Last summer we threw a salsa party in our hometown and these two lovely humans volunteered to teach us all the moves (we tried our best lol). What a beautiful and wholesome night it turned out to be X

If you've got a groovy idea, weird talent or just a bit of free time on your hands then don't be shy. All energy in whatever form is greatly appreciated💛

On that note, in just under 2 weeks we're having a BIG party at Earth in London. Come down and support your local Strut 🌎

BTS content capture for @bradford_2025, working with the best damn team of content creators, freelancers and digital experts I could hope for, meeting my heroes (who were all delightful) and being given grief on TikTok live. I wouldn’t change a moment of it.

Thanks Bradford. You’re alright, you are.

For the South Asian diaspora, fashion can be a powerful expression of identity 🪷 Hear from Preena about why she proudly wears her bindi (chandlo) and incorporates South Asian accessories into her everyday style.

Let's talk South Asian Heritage 💛 The sari (from the Sanskrit word ‘sarika’, meaning “strip of cloth”) is everyday wear for women in India, while the lehenga choli, a traditional three-piece outfit, has been worn for centuries on special occasions.

We spoke with Preena from Bradford about the beauty and history of her traditional garments. Check it out! 🎞️

Directing our 30 minute crash course in Salsa we have the wonderful Melany from El Salvador and Preena from Bradford. No experience is required, only a willingness to drink tequila and shake your ass. This will be very silly and unserious so don't be shy.

Class will be in session from 7.30-8 during our 2 hours of ✨salsa magic✨ from 7-9.

From 9-12 anything goes. Expect @theojward (bald ethos) to take you on a journey of juciy, breaky, funky bits and then local schmuck @joshwuf (Wuf) to deliver that sweet disco release.

Last few cheap tickets still available X
