I started doing Pilates because of an injury. After my first pregnancy I began running and playing sport but soon realised that my body hadn’t had the chance to rest and heal. I developed some hip and spine problems that prevented me from taking part in the activities I loved. Pilates helped me to put my mind in touch with my body and knit myself back together. In both teaching and doing Pilates I find that I’m able to leave behind the worries of the outside world and enter into a calming and nourishing place.

Working with the human body is endlessly fascinating. I find it incredibly rewarding when an individual can move out of hobbling pain and be able move more freely and functionally. It is a source of continued inspiration to be able to work with women and their bodies and their ability to create, heal and transform.

Pilates provides a contemplative space in which to increase flexibility and strength, giving one more energy.

What the blazes! This UK summer has been hotter than most of us can remember. Some of us are loving it. Others are counting the days until it's cooler. Why are we all so different? According to Chinese Medicine, we all have our own unique balance of Yin and Yang. So while one person might thrive in a hot, energetic summer, someone else may find it completely depleting. If Yin and Yang have always sounded a bit mystical, here's a quick look. ⭕ Yin - Feminine = Still, Cooling, Nourishing, Receptive, Moistening, Interior ⭕ Yang - Masculine = Moving, Warming, Transforming, Active, Drying, Exterior   This summer has been incredibly Yang. While that can feel energising, too much Yang can make it harder to slow down, switch off and truly rest. You may have noticed more: ⭕️ Tired but wired ⭕️ Restless sleep or insomnia ⭕️ Headaches or migraines ⭕ Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed ⭕️ Irritability or a short fuse ⭕️ Neck and shoulder tension ⭕️ Hot flushes or menopausal symptoms flaring   Acupuncture helps restore balance by nourishing Yin and calming your nervous system. Better still, you get permission to lie down, close your eyes while Sophie or Sunila work with your body's underlying patterns, giving you the chance for a deep rest and reset. Our next Acupuncture Collective is on 17 August, just a few days after the spectacular solar eclipse. Whether you're into lunar cycles or not, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, reset and head into late summer feeling more balanced. We'd love to see you there.   Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 17th August.   Book via our bio
