I kind of miss the mat.
This is where it all started for me, over 10 years ago.

I walked into my very first Pilates class, completely fell in love with it, and not long after, I found myself in teacher training.

In this video you might just see a fast-paced flow. Maybe you even recognize some of the exercises.
But I see something else.
I see precision. I see control. I see concentration. I see breath. I see movement initiated from the center and flowing through the whole body.
These are the principles Joseph Pilates built his method on, and they are still the foundation of every movement we make.

Sometimes it's nice to leave the equipment behind, unroll a mat, and simply let your body guide you. To move through exercises you know, love, and remember, creating a different flow every single time.

Every time I come back to the mat, I am reminded of the girl I was over 10 years ago... the one who started her Pilates journey right here ❤️

Swan Studio shares practical tips from the post “Fueling Your Body for Pilates: Before & After Class Nutrition” - a simple, mindful approach to eating that supports energy, focus and faster recovery around every session. 🧘‍♀️🥑💧

Before class (eat 1-2 hours prior): choose light, steady-fuel options like a banana with a small handful of almonds, Greek yogurt with berries, or oatmeal with chia and a drizzle of honey - complex carbs plus a little protein to arrive energised without feeling heavy.

After class: help muscles recover with a balanced meal or snack - a spinach-banana smoothie with plant-based milk, whole-grain toast with avocado and a boiled egg, or a fresh quinoa salad with roasted vegetables. For hydration, the post highlights kombucha (probiotic support) and coconut water (natural electrolytes).

The studio frames nutrition as part of its mind-body practice: simple choices around class enhance Pilates Reformer sessions and overall wellbeing. Swan Studio offers calm, small-group and private classes with instructor Tal in English and Portuguese, welcoming locals and visitors from Foz do Arelho and Caldas da Rainha.

Read the full guide on the blog to plan your pre- and post-class snacks - and tell the studio in the comments: what’s your go-to pre-class fuel?

They say it takes a village… and they couldn't be more right. 💕

Lately, my "me time" usually comes with Niko by my side, and more often than not, I end up skipping my own workout.

But today, I decided to just go for it.

It was only me and two of my closest friends in class, so I knew we'd make it work.

And wow… we really did.

We trained hard, laughed, danced with Niko, took turns holding him, and somehow made it all happen together.

This is my village. 👭 .v.d
Thank you ❤️

And Thank you to Eran for leading today's class and rolling with all the baby moments. 🤍

Eran will be with us throughout August, and trust me, you don't want to miss a class with him. 💪
