I have recently passed my exams and am now an APPI qualified reformer Pilates instructor. I'm loving every minute of using the Pilates large equipment and teaching on a 1 to 1 basis in my home studio. Reformer Pilates is really popular at the moment but I had my first lesson on a reformer 25 years ago so I know its not just a fad. The reformer and split pedal chair allow you to use all the key elements Joseph Pilates promoted - good breathing mechanics, concentration, control, precision, centering, and flow - with the addition of spring resistance to enable and challenge movements. It's great fun!

So now the training continues as I learn how to use the Pilates tower and more springs - happy days!

I love this article which embodies what happens in a smal group Pilates class. Exercising slowly and mindfully with other people, having that shared experience with no pressure to look or act in a certain way is a joy 😄and is perfect for working on the mind body connection which I really believe is key for good mental health and wellbeing. I love it!

Happy new year from Suffolk! I would like to thank everyone for your support in 2024. It's been a great year for me with some big decisions, lots of training and meeting new people. I'm super excited about 2025, maintaining and building my mat classes and continuing my journey with the Pilates large equipment - reformer, half Cadillac and split pedal chair.

Here's to lots of healthy movement and wellness in 2025 ❤️

It's been a manic couple of weeks. I have folded up my massage table for the last time. After 18 years as a clinical massage therapist it felt like the right time to move on and focus purely on Pilates. I will always be a huge advocate of soft tissue work and would like to thank everyone I have worked with over the years and hope that I've made a difference - helping in their healing journeys 🥰

So the reformer training has begun with and I'm loving it! My reformer has arrived and I now have a lovely studio full of the large Pilates equipment. I am very happy and excited!

My Pilates mat classes remain unchanged and there are a few spaces left in the Wednesdday evening and Saturday morning classes. Please DM me if you are interested.

Wednesday - 11:10am Scout hut, Collingwood Road
Wednesday - 6.00pm Hythe Community Centre
