⭐️Are you struggling with shoulder pain?

➡️Feeling stiff when you reach overhead?
➡️Are your joints more sensitive than they used to be?

💡If you’re in perimenopause or menopause, changing oestrogen levels could be one factor worth considering.

Oestrogen helps regulate collagen—the protein that gives your tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues their structure. As levels fluctuate and decline, changes in these tissues and in pain sensitivity may contribute to the discomfort you’re noticing.

Hormones aren’t the only possible cause of shoulder pain, but they can be part of the picture.

And you don’t have to simply accept feeling uncomfortable in your body. 💛

The right movement, with the right level of resistance, can help you build stronger, more capable shoulders.

At The Pilates Barre, we use controlled, progressive loading to strengthen the muscles supporting your shoulder, improve movement control and build confidence with everyday reaching, lifting and carrying.

We start with what you can manage and gradually build from there—taking your symptoms, strength and recovery into account.

Is shoulder pain affecting your movement, sleep or confidence?

DM us “SHOULDER” today to discuss a tailored 1:1 session and your next step towards moving more comfortably.

Loneliness has been called one of the biggest public health issues of the decade.
Group fitness quietly fixes it. Not on purpose. Just as a byproduct of showing up to the same room with the same people at the same time, week after week. We see, you’ll feel it.

If you’ve been feeling isolated, and you like the idea of controlled movement, reach out to us. We are here, always.

If you’re trying to figure out when to train this school year, save this one.
The best class time isn’t the “optimal” one. It’s the one you can actually repeat.
Which window works best for your week?

Why can’t you lift your hips in Pilates? 🤔

It’s rarely about simply trying harder—and it definitely isn’t about throwing your legs overhead.

This movement requires a combination of:

✨ Deep lower-abdominal strength
✨ Pelvic control
✨ Spinal articulation
✨ Shoulder and serratus stability
✨ Hip mobility and control

The secret is to break the movement down and build each piece first.

Reverse curls and controlled toe taps are two excellent preparation exercises to develop the strength and coordination your body needs.

Practise the preparation—the rest will follow.

Control first. Strength next. Progress will follow. 💪

Save this reel and add these exercises to your next Pilates session.

I love this annual event. Every treat this is something special ❤️. Always hearing about the children of Calcutta — many facing poverty, lack of education, and basic care — really puts things into perspective. The work being done to give them safety, education, and opportunity is life-changing.

Some afternoons stay with you. This annual event always does this for me. This one always has an effect on hearing about the children of Calcutta — many facing poverty, lack of education, and basic care — really puts things into perspective. The work being done to give them safety, education, and opportunity is life-changing.
