I fear many people still think that Pilates is the same as yoga and they come to a class ready for some deep stretching. They soon realise itās not that kind of classš¤Ŗ
I had a client say to me after they didnāt realise it was so much abdominal work. We do Pilates to create a strong powerhouse and stable bodyšŖš»
Pilates isnāt as gentle as yoga is as a beginner. You might hate it the first few times as you learn how to move from your centre but it gets better I promiseš¤£
Come for a class with me in the park and discover your abdominalsššš»

A new week and a new substack article; this week Iām exploring the Pilates aesthetic, how itās changed the Pilates industry for better but mostly worse.
I know Instagram is the place to be perfect but maybe some days we can be real with each otherāØ Teaching Pilates is a rewarding job but it can also be long days, early mornings and hard work.
I donāt want to put anyone off Pilates teacher training, I loved my experience! But we should be more open about how much we are actually earning teaching and how this could improve.
Most teachers want to keep learning new things every year and this costs money, many studios donāt offer paid CPD or free workshops, the cost is usually on the teacher.
Studio owners remember to thank your Pilates teacher because they show up even when their tummy hurts and they are the ones bringing in all the monayyy! A little appreciation goes a long way in this industry.ā¤ļø
Enjoy the read and let me know what you think!

Pick me. Choose me. Love me. (Meredith Grey)
I kept seeing the trend āwhy Iām not the Pilates teacher for youā so thought Iād put a positive spin on it because I want everyone to come to my classesšš
Iām weird. Iām a weirdo. But Iāll make you laugh through the hard workš There might also be some singing when the rolling starts.
Iām not perfect, you arenāt perfect, letās be not perfect together on a patch of grass this summer?ā¤ļø
Come to my class and I guarantee youāll leave feeling better than before you came. Thatās my new best quote, āleave everyone even better than you found themā š
Hopefully see you for a class in York my friends xx
5 reasons you should NOT be a Pilates teacher! Because itās not all glitz and glamour and people should be told this before paying thousands for training courses.
1. Youāre a bad listener
2. Youāre only doing it for insta
3. You canāt handle feedback
4. You donāt want to be a student forever
5. You hate working hard
But it is the most rewarding and fun job!š
What would you add to the list?

Itās August which means Pilates in the park has nearly come to an end!š„²
Over 100 of you joined me this summer in the park and many laughs were had in the sunshine. Thank you so much for showing up on a Sunday morning ready to workš«±š»āš«²š¼
I canāt wait for next summer which will be even bigger and even betterš if youāve left me a review too thank you so much! If youād like to leave me one, you can using your Setmore accountāŗļø
We also have our final class of the summer on 30th August at 9am, free Pilates and cake in the park, someone will be taking some videos too!! Thereās a few spaces left, you can book now link in my bio.
Hope to see many more people before the end of summer! Weekday classes are quieter if youāre looking for a more relaxed environment to try Pilates for the first time.
Hopefully see you this summer but if not hope to see you the next one!š§” Thank you for joining me Yorkš¤© and thank you weather gods!!!!āļø

Although I think the Pilates studios with screens could be making their way to the UK, I donāt think they could ever replace the skill, dedication, empathy and kindness of a real Pilates teacher.
Community means a lot in the UK and people are always searching for new groups to make friends. Pilates studios are social hubs where many people gather to move their bodies.
For some, a Pilates class is the most interaction they will have that week. A good Pilates teacher will make them feel seen and heard which a pre recorded video canāt do.
Itās hard to imagine the future in 20 years but I donāt see a future without the Pilates teachers we have around today who truly help people and love doing it!
Do you agree?

Check out my new substack article of the week out now in my bio!š
This week Iām discussing the new reformer studios opening with screens. I didnāt realise how long this model had been around for in Australia!
These screens have not replaced Pilates studios, yet. But with the rise of Ai and new technology, could this be something that investors attempt in the future?
Less teachers = lower costs but it doesnāt mean a better experience. We are lonely as a society and sometimes a Pilates class is the only time a week someone will spend around other people.
Do I think these studios are the future? No. I think theyāll grow quickly in the UK and they could potentially stop the amount of studios opening at the moment.
But I donāt think you can never beat human interaction and hands on corrections!ā¼ļø
Have you tried one of these studios, what did you think?
