A Lovely New Way to Connect in Mobilates Mob
by Callie Di Nello A white lady with brown hair, wearing sunglasses, sitting on a park bench reading a book. Her purple mobility scooter is next to her. One of the things I love most about Mobilates is that we understand something that many other communities don’t. Connection is important. Oh, so very important! But connection doesn’t always have to mean getting dressed, travelling somewhere, joining a Zoom call, having the energy for conversation, or feeling obliged to participate in a…
You don’t have to prove yourself here – Affordable AND accessible exercise
“What proof do I need to give you to show I’m on a low income?”
And the answer is… none.
At Mobilates, we don’t ask for proof.
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.
Supporting Mental Health Through Movement – Understanding Psychosis
1. Definition: What is Psychosis? Psychosis is a term used to describe a set of experiences that affect how a person interprets reality. It can involve changes in thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and behaviour, and may feel confusing, overwhelming, and distressing.

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.
Mobilates – Wellbeing & Support Signposting Guide
Your Wellbeing Matters in Our Community Mobilates is more than an exercise programme — it’s a community where people come together to move, connect, and support one another. Many of us live with long-term health conditions, disabilities, mobility challenges, or fluctuating health, and we know that physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing are closely linked. During classes and social events, it’s natural for people to share updates about their health or life experiences. Sometimes these…
Ants, Elephants, and other critters
That’s where Ants and Elephants and The Saturday Ant Mob come in. They are Zoom opportunities for a little bit of accountability, motivation and cheerleading for life tasks.
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.
