🍂 This October: Events, Community & Consistency at Sona Pilates
We’re getting back into routine this month—settling into practice, finding consistency, and celebrating the little things that keep us moving forward. With September’s consistency comes some exciting event layering for October. Here’s what’s coming up:

💚 Kit & Activewear Swap – 10th October    (World Mental Health Day)
To mark World Mental Health Day, we’re hosting a Kit & Activewear Swap in support of MIND. Friday 10th October 7pm – 9pm at the Sona Studio.Â
Bring gently-used activewear, Pilates/fitness kit, ski gear, or walking gear—anything connected to how we move for body and mind.
Think of that jacket you wore once… It’s time to pass it on to a new home! And pick up something new for you!
Please drop off donations by Wednesday, 8th October.
All proceeds and donations go directly to MIND, supporting vital mental health work.
✨ A sustainable refresh for your wardrobe + a chance to support a cause that matters.

🥂 Pilates Brunch – Sunday 5th October
Start your Sunday right! Join us for a 10:00 AM Pilates class followed by a 11:30 AM brunch at Sundial Kitchen.
It’s the perfect combination of movement, connection, and good food:
-
Flow through a revitalising Pilates session to energise your body.
-
Share a relaxed brunch with fellow studio members, old friends, and new faces.
-
A wonderful chance to celebrate your practice and connect with the community.
Employees often spend several hours a day seated at their desks, or in repetitive movement patterns in industrial environments and it can be challenging to incorporate exercise when faced with a hectic schedule. So let us help support your staff with accessible classes, videos and drop in clinics or even onsite workshops or retreat days!
Lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle has a negative impact on mood, work performance, and long-term health. We often joke that “sitting is the new smoking” and that Pilates is your new pill, but it is of course so much more than that and it needs to be addressed now before the rise in injuries and chronic conditions result in further absences from work.
The Sona Pilates Whole Body Health Programme is specifically tailored for employees. Offering a variety of time-efficient workout options from live-streamed classes to recordings, weekly emails and articles. And we can work with employers here in Bristol or further afield to customise the offering to address certain needs from desk assessments, and head, neck and shoulder pain workshops to feeling more energised or working on alleviating stress with meditation and mindfulness techniques.
