Pilates In Motion

Happy New Year!

All studio and matclasses are back on this week. It's time to get moving again. Look forward to seeing you soon!

Contemporary dance’s loss was Otley’s gain when Gaynor Coward swapped the stage for the studio. Now she’s helping locals move better, feel stronger, and stand taller at Pilates in Motion in Bay Horse Court — it’s why it’s Business of the Week on our sister site Buy in Otley.

Happy New Year!

What a fabulous photograph of Caroline, who some of you will know from the matclasses. An amazing achievement! Inspiring to us all to challenge ourselves and keep moving.

Caroline Marler, 73, shows her extraordinary all-round athleticism as she poises prior to her winning throw of 7.35m at the The BMAF British Masters Athletics Federation indoor at Lee Valley Athletics Centre last weekend. Caroline is a multi-disciplinary athlete, holding British records in the indoor Pentathlon and High Jump events as well as British outdoor records for both the Pentathlon and the Heptathlon events in her 70-74 year old age group. She and I are almost the same age but what strikes me in particular as I look at her here, as she readies herself for the throw, is not only her obvious strength but also her balance. (Haha well just about EVERYTHING strikes me, if I'm actually comparing myself to her. I can't believe I'm singling anything out.) Her poise, though, just blows me away. Maybe it's because I'm struggling so much with my own balance these days that Caroline's perfect stance, as she prepares on one foot, to swivel round and throw that extremely heavy shot, that it's this in particular that leaves me so awe-struck. Honestly, friends, everywhere you look at these championships makes you want to use that word, 'awe'. I just wish they received more publicity so that more of you could see them yourselves first hand. They're world-wide events, and if you hunt out your local masters athletics club or federation, I bet you'll find something you can go to. You'll be seeing people like Caroline, so you'll be happy you did, trust me🌻😊👍
