Feeling stiff, sore and low on energy? Pilates can help you feel better without the intensity of traditional exercise.
If you’re finding it harder to get out of bed in the morning without pain, or struggling with stiff neck and shoulders when you turn to look while driving, you’re not alone. Maybe everyday tasks like lifting your handbag, bending down to pick something up, or going up stairs have started to hurt, leaving you feeling drained and frustrated.
You’ve likely noticed your body changing and may have thought, “Is this just how things are now?” Maybe you’ve tried walking or even considered starting a new exercise routine, but the thought of going to the gym or pushing yourself too hard just doesn’t feel right. You might even be seeing a physiotherapist, but it doesn’t seem to be getting better. You know something’s off but aren’t sure if it’s aging or perimenopause at play.
Doing all the cardio and your usual routine but it’s not working for you anymore?
Does this sound like you?
You’ve always loved exercising—it’s your stress relief, your time to reset, and the way you’ve kept fit and healthy. But lately, something doesn’t feel right. Your usual workouts don’t feel as effective. Maybe you’ve had to stop the exercises you enjoy most because of nagging pain or tightness. Rehab exercises are boring, and skipping workouts altogether leaves you feeling sluggish, stiff, and frustrated.
The extra weight around your middle isn’t budging, your energy is dipping, and joint pain or stiffness is creeping in—even when you’re not exercising. You’ve tried gym memberships, large group fitness classes, or even Pilates on Reformers, but none of it is helping you feel strong and balanced. You wonder if this is just “getting older.”
You don’t have to spend hours in the gym to feel better. Pilates helps you ease pain, relieve stress, and gently build strength—without the intense effort or strain.
You deserve to feel better in your body again. Pilates is an effective way to start moving, regain strength, and improve your overall well-being.
At Kensho Boutique Pilates, we believe you can still feel strong, mobile, and confident—no matter where you’re starting from. Pilates isn’t about pushing your body to its limits; it’s about strengthening, stretching, and moving with control. It’s a system that helps build a balanced body and can be adapted to your needs, no matter your age or fitness level.

After years of high-impact exercise, I found Pilates and immediately fell in love. It showed me that strength and empowerment don’t have to come from heavy weights or intense strain—it can be achieved with control, precision, and thoughtful movement.
I’m passionate about sharing this with my clients, especially women over 40 who want to feel strong, confident, and pain-free as they age. My goal is to help you build resilience and feel amazing in your body.
At Kensho, it’s not just about fitness—it’s about finding joy in movement and awakening your body, mind, and spirit. I want to help you discover your strength, unlock new levels of flexibility and mobility, and feel empowered in every area of your life.
I recommend that you start with the Introductory Offer as the first session includes an Initial Consultation which will take you through the basics and give you some tips on how to best learn the movements. However, if you would like to attend the online group classes and have no injuries or concerns, and ideally are used to attending other types of general fitness classes (gym, dance etc), you can jump straight into a group class.
Absolutely! Pilates is used to help with rehabilitation.
The Initial Consultation, included in the Introductory Offer is a must for you so that we can assess your needs and get you on the right track. Depending on your injury this could mean continuing Private Sessions and eventually our online group classes if that’s where you would like to go.
I highly recommend private sessions for pregnancy. Your health and the health of your baby is of utmost importance. Your body will need different things throughout each stage of your pregnancy and your needs on the day will be safely and effectively addressed in these sessions.
Bring clean socks, a towel and a water bottle to keep you hydrated during your session.
Yes, you can! If you are injury-free and have a basic level of fitness. Group classes can be challenging and move relatively quickly, but if you are accustomed to exercising you will get started right away.
Online group sessions are not suitable for pregnancy, osteoporosis, pelvic floor conditions, or any current injuries that require movement modification. All of these can be accommodated in Private Sessions.
Comfortable clothes that you can move easily in – your regular gym gear is ideal.
Yes, there is plenty of on-street parking.
There is a toilet and somewhere for you to change, filtered water is available and we can change the temperature to suit your needs.
