Inspire Movement

Welcome to Inspire Movement, a Pilates studio located in Helensburgh, offering therapeutic movement and exercise classes. Whether you are living with chronic pain, recovering from surgery, or looking for rehabilitation support, Inspire Movement is here to help.

Carole Barrie, a skilled and experienced instructor, specialises in guiding individuals through one-on-one therapeutic sessions. These sessions focus on therapeutic movement, release, and breathing practises, equipping you with the tools and information to manage your body better for life. Whether you need help recovering from an injury, conditioning for injury prevention, or simply motivation and support to achieve your health goals, Carole can provide personalised guidance and assistance.

For those seeking regular exercise and motivation, Inspire Movement offers monthly memberships. The therapeutic movement classes are friendly, fun, and based on Pilates principles. Carole's classes celebrate the therapeutic side of Pilates, utilising the entire body to elongate the spine and muscles, strengthen the core, and restore balance and health. By incorporating breathing techniques, control, and precision, these classes help you move more efficiently and alleviate pain.

In addition to Pilates principles, Carole incorporates pre-Pilates moves, Original Strength concepts, and various training courses she has attended. The exercises focus on creating space in the joints, providing fluid movement, building strength, and promoting positive awareness throughout the body. Small equipment such as Overballs, Stretchy Bands, Pilates Circles, Foam Rollers, and Hand Weights are frequently used in the classes. It is encouraged for participants to own their own equipment and mat, as it helps them manage their health outside the studio as well.

The Pilates principles taught at Inspire Movement foster a better awareness of your body and improve flexibility, joint health, and muscle strength. The movement classes are designed to help you become the person you want to be, whether that means feeling less wobbly or stiff, reducing pain, carrying groceries more easily, playing with family longer, achieving personal bests in sports, or preventing injuries.

Classes at Inspire Movement are never the same and focus on challenging your mind and body while also providing a sense of reward and enjoyment. Carole ensures that the classes are not about perfecting moves, but rather about personal growth and progress. Laughter is also encouraged during the classes, making them a truly enjoyable experience.
