Mindful Pilates Studio

Did you know Pilates can help with knee pain & weakness?

When we experience knee pain or weakness, it’s easy to focus on the knee itself. But the way your knee moves and handles load is influenced by what’s happening around it, particularly at the hips, ankles and even the core.

The muscles of the glutes, thighs and core all contribute to how we control our movement and distribute forces through the lower body. If these muscles aren’t doing their job effectively, the knee can sometimes end up taking more of the load.

Pilates uses controlled, progressive movements to build strength, improve movement control, body awareness and develop stability, all of which can support better function and, for some people, help reduce knee pain.

So if your knees feel weak, uncomfortable, or less stable than they used to, Pilates may be a useful part of your movement routine.

Meet Nicolle 🤍

We’re very excited to welcome Nicolle as part of the Mindful Pilates team.

As a STOTT Reformer Pilates instructor and dance teacher, Nicolle brings a wonderful combination of knowledge and enthusiasm to her classes. With her background in musical theatre and dance, she has a real understanding of how the body moves — and a very good eye for the little details that can make such a difference to your technique.

Her classes are supportive but focused, with plenty of individual attention and thoughtful progressions to help each client work at the right level for them.

Nicolle’s weekend group and private classes have already been so well received, and we’re delighted that she’ll be continuing to teach Saturday classes at the studio.

If you haven't tried a class with Nicolle yet, now is your chance:

The menopause conversation has come a long way, but movement still doesn't get nearly enough credit in it.

This research finding showed that Pilates significantly improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety and depression symptoms and eased fatigue.

Poor sleep, low mood and persistent fatigue are three of the most commonly reported symptoms of menopause. And three of the things consistent Pilates can significantly help.

If you're navigating this stage and haven't considered Pilates as part of your toolkit, it might be worth a conversation.

We love hearing from clients who come to us as complete beginners, because that first step is often harder than people give themselves credit for.

The fact that Chantel and her husband both enjoyed their class and haven't looked back is exactly what we hope for.

Claudia works hard to make sure that no two sessions feel the same — keeping things varied, well-instructed and engaging regardless of your level. For anyone new to reformer Pilates, that approach makes all the difference.

If you and a partner or friend have been thinking about trying it together, our intro offer is the perfect place to start:
