PILATES & ESSENTRICS

Movement that inspires radical self-acceptance

I am strong. I am aware. I am energized. I am standing taller. I am thriving. I am connected. I am capable. I am bold.
I am all in. I am whole. I am Inspired to Move.

All of you is welcome here.

At Inspired to Move you'll find small class sizes, private lessons and virtual options that get you out of your head and into your body. It's time to release the exercise "shoulds" and instead meet yourself where you're at with care and compassion.

BE MORE YOU

You don't have to change who you are to move your body. You don't have to want the same things that other people want. Your body doesn't need fixing.

​

There's a better way.

Imagine if you had the tools to move your body in ways that feel good for you. What would it be like to let go of the outcome and move just to experience this moment?

​

Here you'll discover movement strategies that will support you in feeling at home in your body, without self-judgement, criticism or expectation of change.

Move your body in ways that you actually enjoy and stop experiencing exercise as a punishment

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Pilates helps me become centred with myself. I feel like myself again. Centred inside myself. I can breathe. Just... all the things. I'm just a better person when it's part of my routine.

I've found the past couple weeks have been some of the most joyful movement moments I can remember! As a 24-year-old (in my "peak") there's this weird extra pressure to push and be intense in movement because 20 year olds "can" or we "should" be able to. Choosing gentle, mindful and meaningful movement with Ashley is a really affirming and powerful choice to make that actually centres what I want rather than what is expected of me.

Listening to the way my body feels vs pushing it to the point of injury or over-exhaustion has always been a struggle of mine. Understanding the importance of finding balance has been a recent mission of mine - and thanks to Ashley I think I've found it. I felt AMAZING after my workout with her! A great mix of building endurance, physical exertion, stretching and toning! Thanks, Ashley!
