Why choose Mat Pilates?

Mat Pilates is for every body - whether you’re looking to feel stronger, move more freely, improve posture or simply take time for yourself each week.

In my small, welcoming classes, you’ll receive personal guidance and the space to move at your own pace. With regular practice, many of my clients notice:
• Improved strength and stability
• Better posture and flexibility
• Less tension in their body
• More confidence in movement
• A greater sense of calm and wellbeing

A chance to slow down, reconnect and leave feeling stronger - inside and out 🤍

I’d love to help you on your Pilates journey.

Core strength is not just curl ups…

True core strength comes from control, stability, breathing and learning how to support movement through the whole body.

Exercises like bird dog prep challenge the deep core muscles while encouraging coordination and spinal stability — without endless crunches.

In Pilates, we focus on building strength that supports you in everyday life 🤍

Been thinking of starting mat Pilates?

Look no further!

In my bespoke studio, I offer personalised mat Pilates sessions in groups no bigger than three.

- A calm space
- Small group
- Thoughtful movement

I keep classes intentionally small so you can feel comfortable, supported and truly seen throughout your session.

A gentle movement for spinal mobility…

Cat/Cow is one of my favourite exercises to introduce into Pilates practice.

It encourages movement through the spine, helps build awareness of posture and breath and can feel incredibly relieving after long periods of sitting or tension.

Simple.
Gentle.
Effective.

Sometimes the smallest movements make the biggest difference 🤍

Why small group Pilates feels different ✨

With only a maximum of three people per class, there’s space to slow down, breathe and truly connect to your movement.

No getting lost at the back of a crowded room.
No rushing.
Just thoughtful teaching, individual attention and a calm space where you can move with confidence.

This is mat Pilates with intention 🤍

I’d love to help you on your Pilates journey.

Why is Pilates recommended after an injury?

Pilates is a controlled, personalised form of exercise...
- Gentle on joints
- Strengthens deep stabilising muscles (pelvic floor, back extensors, abdominals)
- Corrects habitual posture and movement through restoring proper function and the correct alignment
- Increases flexibility and range of motion (reduces stiffness)
- Instills mind-body connection and confidence
- Increases confidence in moving safely without pain

Lateral breathing - your strongest Pilates tool

Ever feel like you’re only breathing into the top of your chest? 😮‍💨

In Pilates, we use lateral breathing to stay strong and stable while we move. Imagine your ribcage expanding wide to the sides and back - like a balloon inflating.

Why do we do it?
By breathing into the sides of the ribs, we keep our core engaged. This protects your spine and helps you find that “lift” in every exercise.

Experience the difference in a bespoke setting:
In my small studio, we focus on these fine details that make a huge difference. Whether it’s a 1:1 or a 2:1 session, I’d love to help you find that lateral expansion so you leave feeling taller, stronger, and more connected.

Why my clients choose a 1:1 or 2:1 over a bigger group class:

Sessions are personalised to YOU: Whether you’re recovering from an injury, training for a goal or just want to feel stronger, each session is built around your body’s needs.

Precision over pace: In a small setting, I can see every alignment detail. We focus on the quality of your movement, ensuring you’re engaging the right muscles (not just going through the motions).

Total confidence: Not sure if you’re doing it right? In a 1:1 or 2:1 environment, you have my full attention. We can adjust, refine, and progress at a pace that feels safe and effective for you.

Mind-body connection: It’s just you, your breath and focused movement in a calm, private space.
