  • 35' - Chair Based Mobility Training

    Grab a stool, bench or chair for this mobility training session. We will work through every single joint, from your ankles, to your neck, to help you increase your range of movement, gain length and strength in those outer ranges. My aim is for you to move with greater ease and feel stable. "Stro...

  • 45' - Release, Mobilise & Strengthen your Hips

    Tackel your "tight" hips with this workout! I'm guiding you first through a nice, easy release session before going into more advanced mobility and strengthening training. I do give alternative versions of the harder exercises, so do give it a try whatever your level!

  • 15' - Bullet Proof Dodgy Angles

    The focus of this short lesson is on the more precarious angles of the ankles, knees, elbows and wrists where we tend to be weaker and are more likely to injure ourselves. I'm encouraging you to explore the full range of movement of your joints and load them in a variety of angles using either ju...

  • 30' - Stable Base

    Work your feet in order to have strong knees, hips and back! Too often neglected, your feet need to be worked so as to be nicely mobile and reliably stable. You can replace the Balance Pads and Yoga blocks with a folded bath towel and two books.

  • Exercise of the Week 18 - Side-lying Hip Work

    We're staying lying on the side to work the hips some more!

  • Exercise of the Week 17 - Oysters

    This week's exercise is another great one for working your glutes, this time in side-lying!

  • Exercise of the Week 16 - Squats on One Leg

    Following up from last week's exercise, we are now practicing squatting on one leg. This is challenge the stability of your leg and your balance. It's an important exercise to practice every day!

  • 30' - Shape up and strengthen your legs

    This is a mixed ability class to shape up and strengthen your legs. It is technically easy but physically quite challenging, especially if you add ankle weights (0.5 to 2kgs). It is guaranteed to leave your legs aching for a day or two!

  • Tutorial - Hips

    This tutorial will teach you how to strengthen and release your hips within their full range of movement in a way that supports your knees and lower back.

  • 20' - Ultimate Hip Opener

    Twenty minutes dedicated to opening up "tight" hips! Great if you've been spending a lot of your time sitting or if you generally suffer from restricted range of movement.

  • 15' - Strengthen your Hip Flexors

    A lot of people suffer from "tight hip flexors" and you might be one of those who feel a constant need to stretch them. What feels "tight" might actually be a sign of weakness. Strengthening them will therefore help more then just stretching.

  • 25' - Step Workout

    As you know, I like to keep things functional and this workout promises just that, using an every-day object: a stair case or if you do happen to have one lying around, a gym step. The step helps us work out feet, ankles, knees and hips as well as our shoulders! A mixed ability class but neverthe...

  • Pilates for Fencers - Beyond the Clam

    As a fencer, you will probably have come accross the Clam exercise, which is an exercise given to increase the hips' range of movement in lateral rotation and work the glutes. I have developed it further and turned it into a bigger movement so as to make it even more relevant to fencing!
