Private Pilates & Yoga for Women
🤍 Intelligent Movement Across Hormonal and Life Stages
These one-to-one Pilates and yoga sessions are designed for women who want informed, attentive support for their bodies — not generic exercise, performance metrics, or intensity for its own sake.
You’ll work privately with an experienced, certified teacher trainer, with sessions shaped by women’s physiology, biomechanics, and the lived realities of hormonal change across adulthood.
This practice supports strength, stability, and nervous system regulation during phases where familiar strategies often begin to fall short — from cycle changes and fertility considerations to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and midlife transition.
Sessions are calm, precise, and responsive, prioritising long-term capacity, resilience, and self-trust over short-term output.
🧘♀️ Movement Informed by Women’s Physiology
Women’s bodies do not respond to load, stress, or recovery in static or linear ways — particularly across hormonal shifts.
Fluctuations in oestrogen, progesterone, and cortisol influence not only mood and energy, but also:
-
joint stability and connective tissue behaviour
-
muscle recruitment and strength retention
-
fatigue patterns and recovery time
-
pelvic floor and deep core coordination
-
emotional and cognitive resilience under stress
When movement does not adapt to these variables, it can begin to feel unpredictable — sometimes helpful, sometimes depleting, sometimes actively aggravating symptoms.
This work takes those physiological realities seriously.
Sessions are adjusted in pacing, emphasis, and load so your body is supported as it is now — not as it “should” be.
🧠 When Conventional Exercise Stops Making Sense
Many women arrive having been diligent, disciplined, and consistent with exercise — yet feeling increasingly disconnected from their bodies.
Common experiences include:
-
joint or pelvic symptoms that appear despite “good” fitness
-
core work that increases tension rather than support
-
fatigue that lingers longer than it used to
-
postnatal or midlife changes treated as something to override
What’s often missing is not effort, but specificity.
Private Pilates and yoga address these patterns through observation, intelligent sequencing, and careful load management — rather than repetition, intensity, or volume.
The aim is not to push harder, but to re-establish coherence in how your body moves, adapts, and recovers.
🎯 What to Expect in A Private Session
Each session begins with attention — to your symptoms, energy levels, recent changes, and current demands — before any movement is prescribed.
Work may include:
Postural Organisation & Structural Awareness
Understanding how load travels through your body in daily life, so posture becomes something you inhabit, not something you “hold.”
Core & Pelvic Integration
Rebuilding deep abdominal and pelvic floor coordination without gripping, bracing, or fatigue — particularly important across pregnancy, recovery, and midlife change.
Strength with Joint Integrity
Developing strength that protects joints and connective tissue, rather than overwhelming them.
Spinal, Hip & Shoulder Mobility
Restoring ease and control where restriction has accumulated, with stability where it matters most.
Breath-Led Regulation
Using breath practically to support spinal organisation, reduce unnecessary effort, and steady the nervous system.
Sessions are unhurried, exacting, and thoughtfully paced. Nothing is included without a reason.
🙋♀️ Who This Is For
This work is well suited for women who:
-
are navigating fertility, IVF, or cycle-related symptoms
-
are pregnant and want expert, conservative movement guidance
-
are postpartum and rebuilding core or pelvic stability
-
are managing prolapse, diastasis recti, or surgical recovery
-
are entering midlife and want strength without strain
-
feel persistently tense, fatigued, or unstable despite being “active”
-
value privacy, discretion, and informed progression
No prior Pilates or yoga experience is required.
🗂️ Personalised Progress Reports & Movement Insights
At key intervals, you’ll receive individually written progress reports based on direct clinical observation during your sessions.
These practitioner-level notes reflect what is actually unfolding in your body, including:
-
postural and movement changes
-
breath and neuromuscular coordination
-
strength development and load tolerance
-
areas requiring refinement or restraint
They provide:
– a clear, trackable record of progress
– guidance for refining work between sessions
– insight into what is supporting you — and what is not
– a professional summary to share with allied health providers if needed
This is part of treating your body as an integrated system, not a set of isolated issues.

✨ Client Experiences
"I started private training with Sheela in April 2024 to improve core strength and mobility. I’d done group Pilates before, but Sheela’s patience and attention to building proper foundations made a huge difference. She made sure I never trained through pain and helped me understand that effective movement doesn’t mean soreness or exhaustion after every session. Her calm, non-judgemental energy put me at ease, and I always leave feeling stronger and clearer. If you want something sustainable for the long haul, Sheela has the right approach.”
