Pelvic Health Workshop
Lenka is a women’s health specialist Pilates teacher. She has a keen interest in helping women at all stages of life (pregnancy, postnatal, perimenopause and post menopause) understand the pelvis and its interconnected-ness to the rest of the body.
Lenka’s hugely popular Pelvic Health Workshop is designed to help women restore and maintain the health of their pelvic floor.
No matter your age, whether you have recently (or long time ago) given birth or whether you have no children, whether you are healthy or experiencing pain, discomfort or issues in and/or around your pelvis, back or abdominals you will benefit from this workshop.
You will learn about the pelvis and pelvic floor through practical exploration of anatomy, embodiment of this pivotal area of your body and its relationships with other seemingly separate but in fact very inter-connected parts of your body through movement both on mat and on the reformer.
You will gain more understanding about your pelvis and how it interplays with other areas of your body. That in turn will enhance and bring new awareness and focus to your other movement practice and daily life and help you on the path of restoring and maintaining your pelvic health.
You will leave with simple and effective practical tools which will help you to go about your life and through your exercise routines with confidence.
This workshop will involve:
60 minute Mat based workshop
15 minute tea break
60 minute Reformer based workshop
15 minute Q&A with Lenka
Please note there are practical parts of this workshop but no prior pilates experience is required.

Breath Workshop with BreathGal
Breath Workshop with BreathGal
Breath Workshop with BreathGal
We are honoured to have the wonderful BreathGal join us at the studio to provide us with a powerful conscious connected breathing workshop.
What is Conscious Connected Breathing?
It is the practice of bringing conscious awareness and control to your breath. The breathwork itself is a specific technique known as “circular breath”. Each inhale is taken in deeply through the mouth, then let go through the mouth without any effort in a circular pattern
But how does it work? When stimulating your vagus nerve through the technique, it activates the parasympathetic nervous system putting the body into a relaxed and altered state of consciousness. Through this lens you may unearth trauma, confront behaviour that sabotages you and release stored stress, anxiety, tension and pain from the body.
Some of the benefits reported are:
- Emotional detoxing
- Increased energy
- Balance flow of energy
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Release and let go of past traumas
- Improves self-esteem
- Relieve depression and negative thought patterns
- Expand awareness
- Strengthen spiritual connection
What happens in a session?
The session will last two hours and includes:
- explaining the technique
- reviewing your own breathing pattern
- setting a personal intention
- practicing the breath
- relaxation & sharing time at the end
During the session I play relaxing music, use affirmations, sounding plus light movement to encourage the breath and release stuck energy.
I may also apply gentle pressure to the body and guide you with other instructions to help you release tension in the body.

Soundbaths
Breath Workshop with BreathGal
Breath Workshop with BreathGal
Rosanna is a competent musician with a passion for enabling others to feel the power of music. Having trained in the BAST Method of Sound Therapy, Rosanna enjoys exploring the positive effect that sound can have on our body and mind.
A Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle, yet powerful, therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture your body and mind.
The experience begins with each person lying down or sitting in a comfortable position, often with a blanket and an eye mask. After a few minutes of guided meditation, with focus on the breath, the remainder of the experience is filled with different sounds and frequencies being introduced in succession.
The sounds are created by a variety of overtone-emitting instruments including Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, chimes and a variety of therapeutic percussion.
Health benefits include:
- Relaxing the body
- Balancing the mind
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Restore Energy
- Decrease chronic pain
- Find inner peace
