I specialise in several areas:-
Postnatal recovery: where babies are warmly welcomed and come along too! With a focus on active pelvic floor, postural recovery, toning and strength building. I offer a safe and effective recovery programme sensitive to the needs of new mums. Courses are progressive and be prepared to get fitter than you have possibly ever been. Pilates: I trained in 2007 with St
ott and have recently retrained in the Michael King method. I offer one to one sessions as well as small groups and deliver Pilates as a core stabiliser to strengthen and mobilise the body in order to gain a more free range of movement in every day life. I work with many special conditions, such as osteoporosis, bursitis, joint problems and rehab. As a "retired runner" I work with clients that are or were runners and triathaletes. My mixed classes are multigenerational and a total mix of body types and abilities. Pilates is wonderful for men as well as women and I work with couples and mixed sex groups. Yoga for wellness and fitness: I trained with Yoga Professionals London in 2014 and have really just begun my journey in yoga. Among the many benefits are improved concentration and mindfulness, better flexibility, greater strength. As well as all the physical aspects the inversions re-boot the circulation and improve the energy systems. In Savasana we enjoy restorative breathing with a complete rest for the mind and body. I teach Pranayama, the breathing techniques, in order to cleanse the sinuses and focus the concentration. Yoga is for everyone. You do not have to be flexible. In fact the less flexible you are the more you will benefit. Fit Clubs for Schools: I also deliver children's fitness and teach PE in local primary schools. I also run Wake Up and after school Fit Clubs. With the huge concerns around Childhood Obesity in this country I see this work as essential in getting sedentary kids moving about and having fun. The target groups are those less likely to be sport specific and active in their everyday lives. My Fit Clubs for Schools business has been popular since around 1999! Yes I see lots of grown ups telling me they remember coming to fit club... and how much they enjoyed it. Every piece of work I do is hugely rewarding. How lucky am I. I have the best job in the world!
