Led by an experienced, certified teacher trained in therapeutic Pilates and yoga, classes are adapted for your body, your comfort, and your goals — no flexibility or fitness background required.

🧘♀️ Why Seniors Practise Pilates & Yoga
Staying active in later years isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about moving smarter.
With the right guidance, movement can be a tool for rebuilding strength, improving posture, and easing pain — while restoring confidence and quality of life.
These sessions are especially helpful if you:
-
Feel stiff, unsteady, or less mobile than you used to be
-
Are managing a condition like arthritis, osteoporosis, or back pain
-
Have trouble with balance, coordination, or getting up and down
-
Prefer individual attention over group class formats
-
Want to return to movement gently after injury or surgery
If any of this feels familiar, you're not alone. Many older adults carry these concerns — and with the right support, meaningful change is possible.
✴️ What to Expect in a Private Session
Sessions are spacious, calm, and adapted fully to your body and energy levels that day.
You’ll never be rushed — and you’ll always be guided step by step.
What’s included:
-
Chair-Based, Standing & Mat Options
You can practise seated, upright, or on the mat — whatever suits your comfort and safety.
-
Strength, Stability & Stretching
Gentle exercises to rebuild joint support, release stiffness, and restore coordination.
-
Balance & Fall Prevention Work
Targeted movements to support steadiness and confidence in everyday life.
-
Breath & Nervous System Support

Tailored Adaptations for Your Needs
Sessions are customised to support conditions such as sciatica, slipped discs, postural issues, back or neck pain, and more.
💪 The Benefits of Pilates for Seniors
Pilates offers targeted, low-impact strength training that helps support your joints, spine, and core — making it an ideal method for older adults.
Pilates helps to:
-
Strengthen the deep core muscles that support your back and pelvis
-
Improve postural alignment and reduce spinal compression
-
Restore joint control and prevent falls
-
Gently recondition the body after illness, injury, or surgery
-
Address asymmetries and movement habits that contribute to tension or pain
All exercises are adjusted to your capacity, with props and support to make each movement accessible — whether you're on the mat or using the wall, a chair, or studio equipment.
🌿 The Benefits of Yoga for Seniors
Yoga promotes balance, flexibility, breath awareness, and calm.
When adapted intelligently, it becomes a powerful tool for healthy ageing — physically and emotionally.
Yoga helps to:
-
Improve range of motion in the hips, shoulders, and spine
-
Ease muscular tension caused by stress or inactivity
-
Develop gentle strength and joint mobility without strain
-
Enhance breathing capacity, emotional regulation, and mental clarity
-
Support relaxation and rest, especially in those experiencing sleep difficulties or fatigue
Restorative and supported poses using props are always included — helping the nervous system settle, while building body awareness and inner resilience.
🌀 You Can Practise One or Both
You’re not limited to one method.
These sessions combine yoga and Pilates in a way that’s relevant to your goals.
Some clients begin with breath and stretching, and gradually build strength through Pilates exercises.
Others prefer to focus on posture and core support with Pilates, then close the session with restorative yoga.
Your programme evolves with you.
Whether you need more mobility, balance, strength, or simply a sense of calm — your sessions are always designed to meet you where you are.
🔎 Common Conditions I Work With
These sessions are especially effective in managing chronic or age-related conditions:
-
Neck & Shoulder Pain
All sessions are informed by a clinical understanding of movement, joint mechanics, and nervous system regulation.
You’ll receive gentle, targeted support without fear of injury or overexertion.
