Kate Ward Massage & Pilates

***Put down the mouse and step away from the screen***
The Thursday Timeout:
I am trialling a new 45 minute class on Thursday lunchtimes at Bruton Community Hall for people locally who'd like a boost during the working day (or indeed non-working day).
The session will help you re-energise physically and mentally with stretching and strengthening movement to wake up stiffened joints and muscles and mindful moments to put stress and tension on hold.
I would love to welcome you this Thursday so do get in touch at 07729 276817, email [email protected] or book directly at my booking platform: https://app.ubindi.com/Kate.Ward

*** New Mat Pilates lunchtime class starting this Thursday 10th September
at Bruton Community Hall, 12.45-1.30pm ***

I'm excited to be trialling a lunchtime Pilates class in Bruton from this Thursday, created to be a quick timeout from your day's business, whatever that is, to reboot and find the 'oomph' to get you to the end of the week. If you have a mat, bring it along but I carry a few spares too. Other than that, just bring the You.

If you would like to book in just drop me a DM, WhatsApp, text or call on the details below and I'll send all the joining details.

Thanks and take care,

Kate Ward

Another season of fresh starts and new intentions has started and I hope it is treating you all kindly. 🍂
I thought I would share my Autumn Mat Pilates timetable (attached) as well as details of each of my classes based in and around Bruton. The classes are always relaxed, the exercises varied and the Pilatees are a very nice bunch.
I am also trialling a new lunchtime class starting this coming Thursday at 12.45pm in Bruton Community Hall opposite the church (details also attached) and I would love you to come along and give it a try.
To book in or just find out more just drop me a line on 07729 276817 or email [email protected]

BLENDING STRENGTHENING MOVEMENT & RELEASING MASSAGE
*************************************************
OFFER: Book a 1 Hour Massage and receive a free 30 minute one-to-one Mat Pilates session.
*************************************************
To try this blended Massage and Pilates offer in the next two weeks (to 14th August), you can book through my website here: https://www.katewardsportsmassage.co.uk/make-a-booking
_______________________________________________

We know that Massage can bring us a deep sense of release, improve blood flow to muscles and joints, ease our nervous system responses and help heal injuries.
Pilates builds strength and flexibility in our bodies through focused, precise exercises, through centred but relaxed movement and through awareness of breath.

To blend these elements together, for the next two weeks, I am pleased to offer a free 30 minute one-to-one session of Mat Pilates when you book a 60 minute massage with me (sports/remedial/deep tissue). Depending on your goals for your treatment, the Pilates can be before or after the Massage but will be in the same appointment.

See how adding a few specific Pilates exercises to your sports massage could improve your outcomes with ongoing back pain or tight hips. Or how adding deep tissue massage to Pilates will help liberate stuck areas of tension that you are struggling to release on your own.

Contact me on 07729 276817 or [email protected] to ask any questions and find out more.

Thank you🙏💪

We know that having a massage can bring us a deep sense of release, improve blood flow to muscles and joints, ease our nervous system responses and help heal injuries.

Pilates is also increasingly understood as a system that brings greater strength and flexibility to our bodies through focused, precise exercises, through centred but relaxed movement and through awareness of breath within that movement.

We don't often have the opportunity to blend these elements together but for the next two weeks I am pleased to be able to offer a free 30 minute one-to-one session of Mat Pilates when you book a 60 minute massage (sports/remedial/deep tissue) with me. Depending on your goals for your treatment, the Pilates can be before or after the massage but will be in the same appointment.

It is a great chance to see how adding a few specific Pilates exercises to your sports massage could improve your outcomes with ongoing back pain or tight hips. Or how adding deep tissue massage to Pilates will help release areas of stuck tension that you are struggling to move past on your own.

The Monday Mat is back!
From 19th January, Monday mornings at 9.05am, downstairs in the Clubroom At the Chapel.

This Pilates class is for Beginner level, taking a steady pace, no pressure, with me to guide you into feeling and figuring it out for your own body (and mind).

Get in touch to book in and pass it on. ❤️
Thanks. x

We had a wonderful time doing the ‘Mat Pilates Foundations Workshop’ in November featuring two hours of learning about the core of the body, about Pilates, doing some actual exercises and laughing over cups of tea. So, I’ve decided to run it again on Friday 9th January, 1-3pm. This time, I am also adding a programme weekly follow up Pilates classes from Friday 16th, 2-3pm to really get practising.

It will be a small, cosy group in the toasty environment downstairs At The Chapel on Friday afternoons and will be run supportively with the emphasis on relaxed.

If you would like to start or indeed return to your Pilates practise then more details are attached I’d be delighted if you can join me (via DM/tel/email as below). Spaces are limited for maximum attention so will be essential to book in soon.

And if Beginners is not where you are at but would still like to join a local class, my class timetable for this New Year is also attached.

Thanks and take care!

Ah yes, fresh starts, blank slates and resolutions abound! What a wonderful thought, to shrug off the sluggishness of Twixtmas and open that clean white page of January. Easier said than done of course but I hope I can help a little. With a bit of movement we will get the energy flowing and then the strength building and the lungs breathing and endorphins releasing.

If that sounds appealing and you have always been meaning to try Pilates, then starting my Foundations Mat Pilates Programme could be just the thing. There are two options - a two hour workshop and a seven-week programme and they can also be stacked together. See the details attached here and get in touch if you would like to know more or book on.

Wishing you a good start to 2026!
