Class at Well Bath
Inmotion
Strength, mobility, breath held together
The pace moves. Kelly cues short bursts of strength work, then long moments of breath and mobility to settle it. Inmotion is Kelly's own hybrid form. It draws on strength training, mobility work, and breath practice, and sits deliberately between the yoga schedule and the more strength-focused end of the movement world.
The class is for people who want to feel stronger without leaving the sanctuary register behind. Well-paced, structured, and adaptable to different fitness levels. Kelly holds it as a class where the breath threads through the strength work, carried alongside it rather than pushed aside.
Kelly is happy to have a short conversation before your first class if you are new to this style of work. If you are already a strong practitioner she will offer progressions; if you are building back, she will offer regressions. Everyone works from where they are today.

What people bring
Presentations commonly worked with
Inmotion sits between yoga and strength. What people arrive with is usually a wish for something that yoga alone was not touching, or something the gym was not offering.
- Loss of strength after a period of illness or inactivity
- Chronic low-grade tightness that mobility work is helping but not fully resolving
- A yoga practice that has plateaued and wants complementary work
- Wanting to build strength without a gym environment
- Return to movement after childbirth (with the usual post-partum clearance)
- Age-related loss of function that responds to loaded movement
- Preparation for outdoor activity, hiking, walking or cycling
This is not a rehabilitation class. If you are recovering from an acute injury or a diagnosed condition that needs assessment, speak to Olivia (chartered physiotherapist) first, then return to Inmotion when you are ready.
What a session is like
From arrival to the last breath in the room
The class runs sixty minutes. This is how Kelly structures the hour.
- 01
Arrival
Front door, tea from the foyer, into the studio. Aim for five minutes before the start so you can settle.
- 02
Breath and check-in
A short seated breath practice to bring the nervous system into the room. Kelly names the day's focus.
- 03
Mobility warm-up
Ten minutes of joint prep — shoulders, hips, spine, ankles. Small ranges, working into the day's postures.
- 04
Strength block
The main working portion. Loaded movement using body weight or light weights, worked through clear sequences. Kelly names progressions and regressions for every shape.
- 05
Mobility and integration
Slower work to close out the strength block. Longer holds, gentle range work, undoing what the loading built up.
- 06
Rest and closing breath
A short final rest with a breath practice to close. Not as long as a yoga savasana, but enough to leave the class settled rather than wired.
Weighing it up
Inmotion versus a yoga class
The most common question is how Inmotion sits alongside the yoga schedule. Here is the short version.
| Inmotion | Yoga (Vinyasa, Sol Power) | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Strength and mobility, with breath threaded through. | Postures, breath, and continuity of flow. |
| Load | Body weight plus optional light weights. | Body weight only. |
| Register | Purposeful, structured, sequence-driven. | Flowing, breath-led, more contemplative. |
| You will feel | Stronger, more capable of load. Some muscular soreness common. | More open, more mobile, more settled. Less soreness. |
| Best if you | Want measurable strength and mobility gains. | Want a practice that meets the mind as much as the body. |
The two work well together across a week. Yoga on some days, Inmotion on others, and the body feels the difference.
What the evidence says
Research and clinical literature
Hybrid strength-and-mobility work has a growing evidence base for functional capacity, particularly across mid-life and older adults.
-
Combined strength and mobility training in adults over forty improves functional capacity, joint range and self-reported quality of life more than either modality alone.
Journal of Aging Research · reviews · 2020
-
Progressive resistance training reduces all-cause mortality risk in observational cohorts, with meaningful benefit at as little as thirty to sixty minutes per week.
British Journal of Sports Medicine · Momma et al. · 2022
-
Breath-integrated strength work is associated with lower perceived exertion and better exercise adherence compared with equivalent work at held breath.
European Journal of Applied Physiology · reviews · 2019
