If your back feels stiff… try this. 👀

This is the **Seated Spine Twist** – one of the exercises we regularly practise in our Pilates classes.

It might look simple, but it's a brilliant way to encourage gentle movement through your spine while improving posture, body awareness and control.

The best part? Like all our exercises, it can be adapted to suit your body. Whether you're new to Pilates, returning after a break or managing the occasional ache, we'll help you find the version that works for you.

At Present Pilates, we break every movement down into easy-to-follow steps, so you leave class feeling stronger, taller and more relaxed than when you arrived. ✨

Come and see what a class is all about!

"My shoulders always feel tight by the end of the day..." 💻😩

Sound familiar?

This lovely review from Nanako says it all:

"Tense shoulders usually hunched over a laptop feel better due to this weekly class." 💜

If you spend your days at a desk, carrying tension in your neck and shoulders, Pilates can help you move more freely, improve your posture and create a little breathing space in your week.

And the best part? You don't need to be flexible or experienced to start.

A mat, a friendly class and an hour dedicated to yourself can make a bigger difference than you think ✨

Good Pilates teachers never stop learning 👀✨

I'm pleased to announce that I have successfully completed my training in the Fundamentals of the Integral Movement Method (IMM), developed by in association with The Ehlers-Danlos Society.

Why does that matter? Because every course I take helps me better support the people who come to class each week 💛

IMM focuses on body awareness, breathing, stability and movement quality — helping people move with more confidence and ease.

Whether you're managing aches and pains, returning to exercise, feeling a bit wobbly, or simply wanting to move better, these principles can make a real difference.

I'm always looking for ways to deepen my understanding of movement and bring the best possible experience to Present Pilates classes.

Here's to lifelong learning and helping people feel stronger, more confident and more at home in their bodies ✨

**Full class schedule:**
• Mon 6pm & 7pm – Mat Pilates @ Sydenham Centre
• Tue 9:30am, 10:30am, 6pm & 7pm – Mat Pilates @ St John's Church, Penge

Ever wonder what Pilates teachers do at the weekend? 👀
This weekend, Helen will be assisting on a teacher training course 📚✨

This video is a little sneak peek from the last course she helped on. One of the things Helen loves most about working with is that learning never stops. Whether you're a new student or an experienced teacher, there's always something new to discover about movement, teaching and the human body.

It's a great reminder that even Pilates teachers are still students too 💛

All that learning and inspiration gets brought straight back into our Present Pilates classes each week!

If your shoulders always feel tight… this might be why 👀

In class at the Sydenham Centre a few weeks ago, we were working on shoulder protraction + retraction — fancy words for learning how your shoulder blades move around your ribcage ✨

It might look simple, but understanding these movements can really help with:
✔️ posture
✔️ shoulder tension
✔️ upper body strength
✔️ improving control and stability

At Present Pilates, we love breaking movements down so they actually make sense 😅 Because when you understand how your body moves, everything starts to feel a little easier.

And if sore shoulders are something you really struggle with, Helen also offers 1:1 sessions in her home studio for more personalised support

• Mon 7pm – Mat Pilates @ Sydenham Centre (In-person)
