Pilates with Christina

Paddy’s experience of Pilates is pretty similar to most who give it a try. It’s very different to what is expected.

“Stretching.”
“Lying on your back on a mat.”
“Sitting crossed legged, breathing.”

All things I hear often.
All a million miles from the truth!

What’s your thoughts on Pilates? Whether you have ever practiced or not? Do you think like Paddy did before his class? Let me know below!

This has just cracked me up! First matwork Pilates class for Paddy 🤣

Lovely Christmas decorations at my venue this evening 🎄Last 3 Wednesday evening classes of 2022 - where has the time gone 🙈

First session of my 12 days of Pilates Christmas lesson plans completed this morning 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Such a lovely evening Wreath making with these lot! Thanks so much to .floraldesign for a fabulous workshop 🎄

Handsome dude 💕 First time he has wanted to dress up for anything!

Today is 13th October.

Today is Metastatic Breast Cancer awareness day. The only day that is dedicated to the breast cancer that kills.

We all know what breast cancer is, we don’t all know what metastatic/secondary/incurable breast cancer is, until we are faced with it.

The facts:
1 in 8 women will get breast cancer, 30% of those will develop metastatic breast cancer and 100% of those will die. Many of these women are under the age of 40.

31 women die every day from secondary breast cancer.

Yet..only around 5% of research funding is spent on finding treatment and maybe one day a cure.

There needs to be much more education on secondary breast cancer - the signs, symptoms and what is needed treatment wise to help them live longer

Great day renewing my First Aid qualification ⛑ I think a knowledge of what to do in an emergency really is a must at the moment given the crisis we are having with ambulance times and over run A&E debarments. Thanks to Louise & Sarah for a great course

Not one to try at home! Great workshop on spine, hip & shoulder extension today with the FABULOUS looking forward to another workshop with her tomorrow 😊

Fabulous morning so far Development Weekend. Learning lots & Celebrating 30 years of Body Control Pilates !

Thank you everyone for another fab block of classes! I’m now off 2 weeks for half term and group classes will resume back w/c June 13th.

I’m lucky to have very committed clients which does mean spaces tend to be rare but for space updates I have a pinned post at the top of this page. It’s updated as of now and if there are any changes after half term I will amend then.

Current spaces summarised below;

Mixed ability- Monday’s 9.20am Grappenhall - 1 space . SPACE NOW GONE.
Ideal for clients with Pilates experience already. All clients new to Pilates to undertake a 1:1 before joining class

Chair & Standing Class - Monday’s 11.45 Grappenhall. This is ideal for clients who maybe cannot get up and down from the floor or are post surgery of hips, knees. We work with lots of different equipment and do a lot of exercises aimed at improving coordination and balance also. 4 spaces.

Wednesday 8.30pm - Stockton Heath.
1 space available. SPACE NOW GONE.

It’s a mixed ability class that has been running for over 5 years so ideal for someone with previous Pilates experience. Everyone new to Pilates is required to take a 1:1 before joining this class.

Me and my girl 🥰

To have no fear 🥰

Great to be back today after half term! Especially fab as I was at my lovely new venue - which has heated floors (fellow Pilates peeps you will understand how this makes fuzzy) 🥰🥰 See my zoomers later!

Happy birthday to me 🥳🥳 Exactly 5 years ago today I started just 2 Pilates classes in Stockton Heath after maternity leave & moving up from London. I still have to pinch myself that my business has grown so well and I now hold over 15 sessions a week; a mix of group classes, 1:1’s and post surgery clients too. There are a handful of you who were in those original classes and are still with me now. Thank you to you and thank you to all my clients past, present & future for making it a joy to go to work every single day! 😊

Current timetable and spaces are updated on the pinned post at the top of the page 👍

There are a few spaces here and there so please get in touch.

I am also starting my waiting list again as there have been so many changes over the last 18 months so if you were on my waiting list please contact me again if you are still interested in a place.

Christmas/New Year is always such a busy time for us as we also have Finn’s birthday thrown in the middle! So much so, this year I took no pictures at all but this one is credit to me & my girl 😍

How is my boy 6 tomorrow 😩

Merry Christmas to all my Instagram. I hope everyone has a lovely festive season 🎄

I have not done Christmas cards again this year but instead donating to both Bury Hospice and the charity in memory of my beautiful Mummy 😍

Well that’s a wrap for 2021 group classes (last 1:1’s tomorrow). Many sessions of the 12 days of Pilates Christmas 🎄 completed ✅

It’s been another great year for my business and again I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of my clients for continuing to support my business. It means the world 🌍 it really does.

Wishing everyone a lovely Christmas and a great start to 2022!

Much love ❤️ Christina # # #
