Whether you want to improve your posture, reduce joint pain, or add some strength and flexibility to your exercise routine, I’d love to help you achieve your aims. I passionately believe that anyone of any age and fitness can benefit from Pilates; from teenagers, to the stressed office worker, professional athletes to the retired. Above all, my classes are relaxed, challenging, educational and light hearted. I believe exercise should be fun. I qualified with STOTT PILATES® which is regarded as one of the world’s leaders in the Pilates field. It is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. I’m particularly interested in post-natal and ante-natal Pilates, using Pilates to recover from injuries and Pilates for older people. I regularly attend courses and workshops to keep up to date with the latest research and techniques. I first discovered Pilates when I fractured my hip in 2007 while training for a half marathon. A physiotherapist recommended Pilates as part of my recovery and I found that Pilates not only helped me to get back on my feet quickly, but it also improved my strength, posture and flexibility and I was also able to start running again. Since then I have had two children, and Pilates helped me prepare for the births and just as importantly, it also helped with my recovery. I was so impressed with my results from Pilates and how it made me feel, that I wanted to understand more about how Pilates worked. I decided to take my interest further by becoming a qualified instructor and share the benefits with others.
