Hi!
I think everyone has their own interpretation of what the term ‘hope’ means.
‘Hope’ is my middle name, so it’s fair to say it’s something I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about!
For most of my life, my understanding of ‘hope’ has been pretty passive, I thought it was just a feeling that things could get better, a sense of possibility I often reach for without doing much about.
But after chatting with friends over the last year, I’ve realised that’s not really what ‘hope’ is at all.
Hope isn’t something you sit around waiting to happen to you. It’s a choice. It’s something you actively build into your everyday life and choose to cultivate.
The reason for me starting Hope Movement Pilates was to capture exactly this.
When you step onto the mat, you aren’t just wishing for better mobility, balance, or coordination. You’re actually doing the work to make it happen.
I chose our local community halls for these classes because they were built for exactly this kind of connection, in our villages and towns. It doesn’t matter what your age, background, or ability is, there will always be a spot on the mat waiting for you.
That’s the kind of community I want to build. Just people showing up for themselves, for others and to create some hope in our communities.
We will always support whoever is on the mat next to us, no judgement.
Meet you on the mat!
