Right now…
This minute…
What position is your head and neck in?
I’m going to hazard a guess that you are hunched over your phone/iPad/tablet/computer with your head down?
I’m right aren’t I ??
And now you are sitting up a bit straighter? Yes?
(It’s ok I can’t actually see you- I’m at home trying not to hunch over my iPad as I type this email to you)
Anyway that position you were in…multiplied by hours,days,weeks,months!
Oooft- I predict back pain and suffering in your future.
That is why Pilates is for you!
Now.. I love fitness and getting a great sweaty workout
However not all exercise classes are about manic prancing & physical torture …
Pilates will help ease that tension in your neck muscles,
help to strengthen your deep corset muscles which support your spine while you are sitting there and you will feel more flexible just doing everyday things like getting in and out of your car, standing up from sitting and reaching up in your cupboards (anything worth getting is up high in my kitchen he he)
You will leave my class feeling taller, stronger and stress free.
And you won’t even break a sweat.
There’s even a 3 minute relaxation part at the end where you get a cosy blanket and peace!
So, here are the classes I have spaces in right now…

In my last email I asked for some comments and I have been overwhelmed ( and feel very chuffed!) with the response I got.
Here’s what my lovely regulars are saying…
“Pilates knocks the stress out of my body and makes me ready to take on the week ahead. Julie’s classes are great because there is something for everyone no matter your age or ability. You get a warm welcome and it’s a friendly, fun class.”
Dawn, Pilates Monday mornings.
“The 1 hour pilates session transports me to Pink Paradise…mind and body are soothed..power of PINK gets me thru the week”
Diane,Pilates Tuesday evenings.
“Julie’s classes are unmissable.! She encourages and enables us all individually to achieve what we are capable of while giving us lots of options for each exercise so we can take it all at exactly the right level for each individual”. Sheila, Monday and Tuesday morning pilates
Love finding new muscles to stretch…and ache
Love knowing Pilates is doing me good
Love feeling better after a class
Love the feeling of success when realising “I can do a plank”
Love that my clothes fit me better
Love the happy and motivational atmosphere in class
Love the way Julie organises the class always paying particular attention to the needs of all participants
As a “more mature” participant I feel confident, relaxed, valued and included.
I did not have this feeling when I tried Pilates in the past. I decided that Pilates was “not for me” but…
it is now!!! Mary, Power & Pilates Tuesday evenings & Saturdays
Thank you to everyone who reads my blogs and who sent me their positive comments.
Julie’ strong is the new skinny’ Smith
