Ageing Gracefully Journal: Pilates, Yoga & Strength

Longer pieces, written by the person who teaches the classes.

This is where Aasia writes at length: about coming back from an injury, about how often a week of strength training actually needs to be, and about what Pilates and yoga each do that the other does not. It is a small collection and it is meant to be — every post here is one she wrote herself, about her own practice and her own clients, rather than filler published to a schedule.

Nothing in the journal is medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a condition. Aasia is a Registered Health and Exercise Practitioner, Certified Mat Pilates Instructor and Certified Yoga Teacher, which means she can build a session inside the limits your clinicians have set — not that she can set them. If you are managing a diagnosed condition, are pregnant, or are inside a post-surgical recovery window, speak with your physician before starting anything you read about here.

If you want the short version instead, the frequently asked questions answer the practical ones in a paragraph each, the class schedule shows what runs when and where, and a movement consultation is a conversation rather than a class.

Reading is not the same as doing

Every one of these posts ends up in the same place: the thing that changes how you feel is a repeated, unhurried session with someone watching what your body actually does. The guides answer the questions people ask before they book, and the mat Pilates, yoga and functional strength pages set out what each class is and who it suits.
