LiveWire Pilates

New Class Timatable from 24th August! Come a join me during the week for pilates class at Vera Wellness.

From my experience in perimenopause. Tested and trial ed. 🔥🙃

Pilates is a method, not a collection of exercises.

With practice, you learn to recognise what your body is doing.
You begin to connect breath, control, alignment, strength and movement.

And eventually, movement becomes more efficient — not because you are trying harder, but because your body understands the task better.

That connection matters.

We can take Pilates exercises, make them faster, heavier, harder or more athletic. There is nothing necessarily wrong with that. But when we remove awareness, precision and the need to feel how we are moving, we start moving away from the method itself.

For me, Pilates is not about performing an exercise.

It is about developing a body that can sense, organise and respond.

The goal isn’t simply to get stronger at Pilates.

The goal is to move better when you are no longer doing Pilates.

That is where the practice becomes valuable.

Menopause is not something women should simply push through.

Changes in sleep, energy, recovery, confidence and physical capacity can affect both daily life and work.

With better information and the right support, women can continue to feel strong, capable and confident through midlife.

LiveWire’s Movement & Strength in Menopause workshop brings evidence-informed guidance into an honest and practical conversation.

Burnout rarely begins with a dramatic breakdown. You will notice it long after you are deep into it. And there is no quick fix for it.

It often begins with quieter signs:

Constant urgency.
Changes in sleep.
Shorter patience.
Difficulty switching off.
Recovery that never feels complete. Its constant work in progess. When worked as group exercise instructor, this beautiful women came. I told her she is in wrong class because that class is for seniors. She replied in calm voice:” That’s all I can manage now.” 🤍🫶What helps people recognise the early warning signs, understand their energy drains and develop realistic strategies for recovery. We are unique. Finding your way takes time. You can join me and start from where you are right now❤️

Short Pilates Ribcage Principles

* The ribcage should move with the breath.
* Breath creates expansion, not tension.
* Ribcage mobility supports spinal mobility.
* Stability and movement must work together.
* The ribcage connects posture, shoulders, and core control.
* Efficient breathing improves movement quality.
* A restricted ribcage often creates compensation patterns.
* Pilates teaches controlled expansion and connection.
* The ribs should soften, rotate, and respond naturally.
* Better ribcage mechanics improve posture and reduce tension. Do you ever cue ribcage principle a goal for the class?
