Pilates with Laura

Ever found your progressing, then challenge hits?
Temporarily change your goals,
Change your training

Make it less about performance and numbers.
More about rebuilding capacity.

Gradual exposure.
Patience.
Consistency.

RECOVERY HAPPENS.

This is a principle that's worth remembering

This is exactly how I trained after a recent neural setback changed everything for a while.

Five weeks ago I couldn’t lift my legs past 45°.
It wasn't a training injury.
It was a neural set back.

Training changed

But rebuilding feels good.

Sharing this is out of my comfort zone.
But it’s REAL

Challenges come out of nowhere.
Sometimes they hang around longer than you’d like.

It knocks your confidence.
Feels like you’ve gone backwards.

But this is why I train.

To build capacity.
A stronger base.
So when things do go wrong —

I recover better.

Progress isn’t linear.
I’ve lived that - it's reality

22/04/2026

Let's face it.. Progress is never linear.

It's more like a mess of ups, downs, stops and starts.

Injuries.
Setbacks.
Life getting in the way.

🙋‍♀️ That was my journey. It started 8 years ago.

I was dtermined to recover from chronic pain.

With the help of a professional,
I started strength training... and PILATES!

6 weeks in.. I break my ankle

QUIT or CONTINUE...?

I continued and was determined..

I even trained in a boot, in the gym, with a trainer (self conscious, but I continued because I felt the benefit)
The boot came off,
I continued training.

Then, the usual hiccups: Kids. Illness. Fatigue. Deadlines. Surgeries, Pain flaring ups, when you think you’re past it.

That “Feeling of like you're going backwards"

But... You're not.

You're building something great, stronger. The line on the graph still goes up

It's reality.
It's how training actually works.

It's not perfect.
Or consistent.
But it adds up.

Doing nothing doesn’t maintain things
It lets them slip.

Choose a lifestyle that helps you,
Not just 6 weeks

✨ CONSISTENCY WINS ✨

11/04/2026

Most people don’t just need more core work.
They need better load. Better movement.
A better understanding of how their body actually works.

I’ve been trained by one of the most reputable Pilates educators,
so I have a strong respect for the principles and repertoire.

But no two bodies move the same.

My approach is influenced by rehab and strength & conditioning (this is my passion).

You’re not just doing exercises…
you’re building strength that actually transfers.

That’s where I focus.

Helping you become:

Stronger.
More capable.
Less held back.

Not perfect. Not polished.

Just progressing — in a way that makes sense for you.

Connected… or Disconnected?

I walk in to class. Everyone's deep in conversation.  (I love it) I laugh every week… then joke, I might bring a bell to start.

Because yes, it’s a place to connect.

A shift begins.
Where you tune into your body.
Where you realise what you’re capable of.
Where you surprise yourself.
“I didn’t even know I could move like that.”

That moment?
It starts building confidence
It starts building belief in yourself.

Enjoy that feeling, you know where to find me.

And yes... One day I really might bring my grandma's crystal bell to begin class 😉

A message from Laura

'Slightly nervous about class? This class is for you. I’ve trained for years, but my own physical ups and downs truly shaped me. Learning about the body became my passion, I can empathise with challenges and love helping people feel how amazing movement can feel. My favourite part? Watching strength and confidence grow'

I love training movement

Here's why:
Moving lifts my mood
It makes me feel amazing
Learning 'how' to move freed my mind and my body
It physically AND mentally charges me
Each time we become more capable
And more in control
(especially when done regularly and constantly)

I also LOVE teaching it

Teaching others to move and gaining confidence is the BEST gift I can give.

Want that passion?

Book and Join me in class

Nervous?
There's no need. Classes are mixed abilities. They are designed to layer up opportunities and challenges for everyone.
