Transform your Body & Mind with Inspired Pilates

Pilates and yoga are both great for building strength, flexibility, and improving your mind-body connection, but they offer different benefits. Pilates focuses on core strength, posture, alignment, and controlled, precise movements that help you move better in everyday life. Yoga tends to emphasise flexibility, breathwork, and longer holds.

If your goal is to improve your posture, strengthen your core, and support your overall stability, Pilates is a powerful place to start. Here at Inspired Pilates I blend the two, with rehabilitation for a balanced, restorative routine.

For best results, aim for 2-3 Pilates sessions per week, whether that’s reformer Pilates, mat Pilates, or online classes.

This level of consistency helps you build strength, enhance mobility, and improve your posture.

If you can add a fourth session, you’ll likely notice quicker progress – but even short, regular sessions count.

In Pilates, consistency truly creates change.

Yes – Pilates is an excellent workout for weight loss, especially if you want a low-impact, sustainable routine.

Pilates supports weight loss by building lean muscle, boosting your metabolism, improving core strength, and helping reduce stress (which can affect how your body stores fat).

When paired with good nutrition and regular movement, Pilates helps you feel stronger, lighter, and more energised without putting strain on your joints.

Absolutely. Pilates is suitable for all ages, abilities, and fitness levels. Every movement can be adapted, making it ideal for complete beginners, those returning to exercise, or anyone recovering from injury. You don’t need to be flexible or strong to start — Pilates helps you build those qualities safely over time.

Absolutely. Pilates for back pain is one of the most recommended ways to strengthen the spine and improve posture. Pilates works the deep core muscles, which support your lower back, while also helping release tight hips and shoulders that often contribute to discomfort.

Many clients come to Inspired Pilates because of back pain and see huge improvements. If you have a specific injury or medical advice, just let me know – I’ll help you move safely and confidently.

In‑studio Pilates classes offer hands‑on guidance, personalised corrections, and access to equipment such as the reformer. They’re great if you enjoy group energy, structure, and in‑person support.

Online Pilates sessions give you the freedom to move anytime from home. They’re flexible, convenient, and perfect for busy schedules, early mornings, or days when you want to reset without travelling.

Many clients choose a blend of both – studio sessions for deeper guidance, and online classes for consistency and convenience.

For any Pilates class – including reformer and mat – wear soft, stretchy, comfortable clothing you can move freely in. Leggings or fitted shorts and a supportive top work best so I can clearly see your alignment and guide you safely.

For reformer sessions, grip socks are recommended for stability. For mat Pilates, barefoot or socks both work. No special outfit needed – just something that helps you feel comfortable and confident.

Inspired Pilates offers a calm, supportive environment where every session is tailored to help you feel stronger, more confident, and more connected to your body. With a focus on mindful movement, rehabilitation Pilates, and personalised guidance, you’ll receive expert support whether you join in‑studio Pilates class in Liverpool or online from home. The approach is warm, encouraging, and designed to help you build long‑term strength, mobility, and wellbeing.
