"Physical Fitness is the first requisite of Happiness"
Joseph Pilates

Whether you choose a one-to-one, small or larger group format, I offer quality teaching of the Joseph Pilates Method. Currently, all of my classes are mat-based, with many poses performed either lying or seated.

Each session focuses on centering and technique, coupled with flowing movement in keeping with the original Pilates principles, in order to help each client achieve their optimal level of fitness. Demonstration, particularly at Beginners level, is achieved with precision and frequency, making classes easy to follow.

Equipment, such as core balls, weights, and resistance bands, add diversity, and are introduced in improver sessions to challenge the core and to increase resistance.

One-to-one: Personal postural assessment, review and analysis of lifestyle factors, aims and objectives, followed by recommendations and personal session plan. Ideal for individuals that may, due to injury or medical factors, require a high degree of exercise modification and anyone in need of targeted work.
Price: £35 per person, per hour

Antenatal: Aimed at keeping the body moving for as long as possible throughout the pregnancy. Promotes mobility, strength, stamina, and coordination, and offers vital pelvic floor strength and release work, as well as breathing techniques to prepare the body for labour. £35 per calendar month.

Staff Wellness - on location
Tailored to suit the demands on school and company employees, staff wellness courses work around the organisation. Classes conducted on-site for convenience, lunchtime and evening classes offer a great opportunity to mingle with friends and co-workers in a non-competitive environment. As well as being a perfect team-building exercise, this is an ideal way to relieve the stress and tension of the day.
 

General information
If you are new to Pilates, or have limited experience, one private session is encouraged, and at times is a necessity, until the movement becomes familiar. This is because, before commencing a series of Pilates sessions, it is important for participants to have an understanding of the role of alignment and breathing techniques to engage the deep abdominal muscles that support and stabilise the spine. Although hands-on teaching is given in every session, during one-to-one sessions personal attention is assured.
