Move · Pilates and strength

Pilates for menopause that keeps you moving.

Your body changed the rules around 45. Less punishing cardio, more strength for your bones, your spine and your pelvic floor. Here's how, and why it works.

What Michelle teaches

Three things your body asks for now.

  1. 1

    Strength for your bones

    Muscle and bone answer to what you ask of them, at any age. So we add load slowly, instead of chasing sweat.

  2. 2

    A pelvic floor you can trust

    Leaks and heaviness are common, and worth training for. Pilates works the deep core gently and on purpose, with no shame.

  3. 3

    A spine that still rolls

    Slow, careful movement keeps your back supple and your posture tall. Twenty minutes is plenty.
