Dawn Roe -
THE BALANCE MENTOR
Strong. Steady. Involved.
​
Build strength, balance and confidence to keep doing what matters to you.
​
Want to get down to the floor and back up, get in and out of the car more easily, or travel with greater confidence?
Perhaps you simply want to keep doing things your way in your own home.​
​
I help adults 55+ develop practical strength, balance and confidence through clear, easy-to-follow exercises and gradual progression.
​​​​​
My teaching draws on evidence-based exercise, over 30 years as an NHS physiotherapist, and my qualifications as a fitness instructor and specialist Postural Stability Instructor.​
​
Together, we work towards the everyday activities that matter to you - with guidance to help you understand what you are practising, why it helps and how to recognise your progress.
​​
What I can offer you:
​
Local Strength & Balance Classes
Build strength for everyday tasks, improve your balance and grow more confident in how you move.
Welcoming, structured classes offer clear guidance, exercises adapted to individual abilities and opportunities to progress.
​
Local Adapted Yoga for Older Adults
Build strength, improve your balance and move more comfortably through adapted yoga. Clear guidance helps you explore movements and stretches in a way that suits your body, with time to notice how you feel, pause and relax.

​​
Find your place to begin:
Whether you’re starting something new, returning after a setback or building on what you can already do, you don’t have to work it all out alone.
​
You’ll have time to learn, ask questions and practise at an appropriate level, without pressure to keep up with anyone else.
​
Progression is an opportunity, not an expectation.
​
Build confidence that goes beyond the class.
​
My aim is to help you develop the strength, skills and confidence to choose your next step.
​
That might mean joining a local class, returning to an activity you love or trying something new. Alongside the physical benefits, there can be friendship, enjoyment, a regular reason to get out and the pleasure of belonging.
​
You’re welcome to stay for as long as the classes support your goals. When you’re ready, I’ll be delighted to see you graduate with the confidence to try something new or return to an activity you love.
​
A little about Me
My teaching combines evidence-informed exercise with practical experience, curiosity and respect for individual choice.
​
I create a calm, welcoming environment where you have time to notice how your body responds. Rather than pushing through, you learn to recognise when to adjust, rest or try a little more.
​
With clear guidance, you can find the level of challenge that helps you progress—building confidence in making movement work for you.
