Meet Abi. Meet Pausa
Hi I’m Abi Jacks — Pilates teacher, ex-dancer, and proud midlife movement advocate. I created Pausa Pilates for women like me: women juggling life, riding the rollercoaster of midlife and menopause, and wanting movement that actually works for the body they have today.
After 20+ years of practising Pilates, I know its power — not just for strength and mobility, but for mood, energy, and confidence. I’m not about mirrors, “go harder” culture, or impossible poses. I’m about community, laughter, and feeling good in your own skin.
Pausa is a space to move, connect, and recharge. Strong but supportive. Serious about results, never about punishment. Whether you’re here for core strength, calm, or our monthly 80s Pilates Nights, you’ll leave taller, lighter, and more you.
"Pausa is a space to move, connect, and recharge"
Pausa isn’t about shrinking. It’s about showing up. It’s about mood-boosting, body-affirming, laughter-laced movement that lifts you—in every sense.
Yes, we’ll work hard. Yes, you’ll feel it. But you’ll also want to come back. Because these classes are strong, supportive, and sometimes silly. And because they’re made for you—not some idealised version of who you should be.
So whether you’re here for the core work, the community, or just a bit of calm—welcome. I’m so glad you found us.
