Moving with Life, as Life moves us along.
In autumn 2026, I will be working in Norway with Nordre Aker Turnforening at the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences to deliver a small pilot ‘Breakfast Club’ for older adults.
The project aims to:
- Develop and deliver balance, strength and mobility sessions for older adults, making creative use of both large and small gymnastics equipment to support and challenge movement
- Foster strong social connections within the group
- Make better use of the hall during quieter times of day
- Widen and welcome a more inclusive range of the local community
- Expand exercise opportunities for older adults
It is an exciting opportunity to combine my love of Pilates and gymnastics, and to work alongside Norwegian colleagues to explore new ways of encouraging participation and involvement among older adults.
Delivering sessions within a gymnastics centre creates unique opportunities for exercise in an inspiring, playful, and supportive environment, led by an experienced and qualified instructor.
During my five weeks away, Dorchester classes will continue with a range of inspiring guest instructors, and Wyke sessions will take a short pause. I return in early December and look forward to sharing fresh ideas and conversations around healthy communities and active ageing.
If this sounds interesting, you would like to find out more, or you have ideas to share, please let me know! contact Sharon

This opportunity is possible through the support from Flemming Solberg and the Board at Nordre Aker Turnforening, and from my students and the instructors supporting my sessions whilst I am away. It truly couldn’t happen without you!
