When adaptation becomes survival
It can feel creative, wise, and freeing to find a different way of doing things. A way that works with your body instead of against it. A way that helps you keep going, keep moving, keep living.
And then there are times when adaptation does not feel inspiring at all.

The Every Body Moves Awards: A Celebration of Accessible, Inclusive Movement
A Day When Everything Felt Possible “By the time we got home, most of us were exhausted, emotional, and still absolutely buzzing — the good kind of tired that comes from doing something brave, joyful, and a little bit unbelievable. The kind where your body needs rest, but your heart is very, very full.” Some of our Mobilates members travelled to London to collect our award from Every Body Moves , and what followed was a day that’s going to stay with us for a very long time.

New Year, Same You (and that’s the whole point)
Hello lovely Mob and suporters, and Happy New Year. If January feels a bit loud or heavy, you’re not alone. There’s so much pressure flying around to change ourselves, improve ourselves, push harder. We’re not doing that here. Mobilates is a place to come exactly as you are, wobbly, tired, low-spoon, hopeful, all of it. This year (and every year) we’re choosing nurturing, body love, gentle safe movement, and a community that reminds you you’re already enough.

A gentle December survival guide for us all
December can be … a lot.
Even if you love twinkly lights, cosy socks, the smell of cinnamon, and being covered in wrapping paper and sellotape, this time of year can be overwhelming.

Resting, surrendering, and lubricating those joints!
I used to think that getting well was about being less lazy. Pushing through the pain and fatigue, ignoring what my body was saying, powering on despite how ill I was feeling. Then my body sat me down in my early twenties and said (it actually screamed at me!) absolutely not.

We Know Our Bodies - and We Deserve to Be Heard
Our wonderful Leanne recently shared a post, which I think will resonate with too many of us. She asked us to record short videos about times we’d been dismissed or mistreated by medical professionals. The response was overwhelming, because, sadly, so many of us have a story, usually multiple stories.
