November Ski Fit series
Step into Winter and the ski season feeling strong, resilient and energised.
This series is designed to help busy women strengthen and listen to their body, increase confidence and improve their whole health.
Learn and feel:
How to manage your mood through Autumn
How to optimise your immune system
How your mindset, muscles, fascia, hormones and energy influence your whole health and performance. They’re MUCH more important than we imagine to ski and do ALL the things we love to do. Knowing how to control, align and use them most effectively can save time, energy and injury.
The sessions are a unique fusion of yoga and Pilates and coaching to build strength, improve mobility and ease tension. You will move with more freedom while deepening your awareness of energy, supporting nervous system regulation and restoring inner balance. We go beyond the physical remit of the average group exercise class, guiding you to tune in physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually to regain a sense of calm, balance and sustainable strength from the inside out.
I’ll meet you where you’re at - whether you want to feel more in tune with your body and self, build strength or flexibility, support healing, navigate hormonal shifts or feel a greater sense of flow and ease.
This is your space to reconnect, release and reset to move with clarity, courage and confidence.
FAQ:
ARE THERE CLASSES IN MESSERY + NERNIER ALL YEAR?
Yes much of the year. A series of class / mini workshop dates with specific themes are released monthly and filled on a first come first served basis. Join us for the month, a couple of classes or drop in subject to availability. Join our locals WhatsApp tribe to stay informed!
Could the classes help me with Pain, rehab from injury, stress, peri / menopause, Fatigue, strength or a chronic diagnosis?
Whilst the classes alone are not intended to diagnose or treat specific conditions, they can be very helpful for all of the above and can be used alongside physiotherapy, private therapeutic pilates / yoga or coaching for specific goals.
Exhaustion, and stress often create tension and imbalances in the body which can leave us susceptible to pain, recurrent injury and burn out. I’ve nearly 30 years experience helping people modify movement around pain - especially back / neck / headaches and other joint pain - which are all more common than you might imagine! My approach is simple: we work with the body rather than against it, restoring flexibility, balance, strength and resilience in a way that feels steady and supportive. Which in turn often allows or supports the body to recalibrate, rebalance and better heal itself.
The classes can also help support those with chronic inflammation, old injuries, scar tissue, digestive or hormonal challenges or anyone wanting a sustainable performance boost in sport or work. Or you simply wish to invest in your longevity and health span!
For diagnosis or specific treatment you are advised to reach out for a private pilates and yoga assessment, physiotherapy or holistic coaching assessment. After which the classes can better compliment your treatment plan.

Methods used
Yogalates is a unique blend of yoga and pilates which I’ve developed and taught over the last 25 years to offer the benefits of both disciplines. Yoga more for the flexibility, pilates more for the stability and alignement. There is actually a huge overlap between the 2 methods which both aim to integrate the body, mind and soul. Yet there are some fundamental differences in the philosophies too. Together they compliment one another beautifully, hence why I love to combine them to offer a practical, functional, efficient yet spiritual practice. If you’re looking to balance and strengthen the body, settle stress / anxiety or an overactive mind as well as replenish the soul, it’s worth a try!
The classes also include breath work, meditation, functional exercise and other science based wellbeing and performance tips to keep you fit, healthy, injury free and happy. Some techniques also help regulate the nervous system which is immensely important in our fast paced world, as well as to restore the body after trauma.
Pilates matwork is excellent for core stability, enhancing sports performance (especially running), biomechanics, proprioception, pelvic floor strength, posture, back pain, post natal and injury rehabilitation. The APPI method is used, a method developed by physical therapists hence is adapted and wonderful for rehabilitation of all injuries and most chronic pain - especially back and neck pain.
Vinyasa Yoga is a type of yoga where postures link and flow. My classes are highly modified as required for each individual, including those with pain. Great for flexibility, clearing the mind and getting to know oneself at a deeper level.
Functional exercise is much underrated and often missed in exercise programmes. As creatures of habit most adults tend to favour one gym class, yoga method or a specific sport like cycling or jogging, which is great because most movement is. However, it isn’t necessarily optimal. Maintaining a wide range of functional movement IS optimal, just like children do. This might include crouching, skipping, bursts of higher intensity (HIT) or weighted exercise - all as appropriate for your level.
Coaching in areas such as maintaining a healthy mindset and managing emotions or anxiety, deep healing, understanding hormones and nutrition foundations as well as sport specific tips are touched upon in the classes to help educate and empower you to get the most out of your amazing body, mind and life.
Yoga Nidra is a gentle method designed to calm stress in the body, mind and soul. It involves gentle movement, breathwork and meditation. It can involve props such as pillows and can be adapted for most levels.
Physiotherapy: the classes include certain physiotherapy exercises / tips which cross over with the stretching found in yoga and the stabilisation work found in pilates.
All experiences have the overall aim of helping optimise and fuel the body, mind and soul
Including the body’s flexibility, strength, stability and fitness, and are bespoke to those attending. They aim to help you be intentional about the sustainable habit shifts required to feel the way you want to feel. Some classes can be adapted to facilitate injury recovery and prevention, pre-natal and post natal care, weight loss, stress and anxiety reduction, sporting performance, dis-ease prevention and longevity.
Perhaps most importantly, all experiences are designed to deepen the connection with oneself
To facilitate the connection with our intuition and a deep sense of self, purpose, confidence and inner peace.
