Pilates Mat & Reformer Level 3 Teacher @ Pilates Emma Studio, Brook St
Mat group classes & 1:1
Reformer 1:1 & 1:2

I am a Mat level 3 qualified Pilates teacher, I have been teaching since 2010 & have practiced Pilates since 2002. I offer both group and private one to one classes in the Herefordshire and Powys area. In addition I run a private Facebook Group where I share weekly prerecorded classes as well delivering live weekly Zoom classes. Pilates lengthens & strengthens all the muscle groups and in particular those deep core muscles, which are so important to our overall health and well being. Pilates practiced on a regular basis can have numerous benefits: improved strength, flexibility,coordination, balance & most importantly our posture.

Not every move comes easily …..

Grasshopper on the Reformer needs practice & patience.

Grasshopper is a test of spinal extension, glute strength, and shoulder stability.

It takes time to find the right balance between control & lift … but with consistent practice, the movement does starts to become more fluid and connected through the whole posterior chain…… bendy legs in working progress 🦵🦵

For me a real challenge of strength, control & confidence all at once.

…always learning 📝

T is for Time …..

& something I’ve always obsessed over ⏰

However, in Pilates, time isn’t just about the clock… it’s about being present, prepared & intentional from the first move.

When we slow down & take time…we start to feel the depth of movement as well as noticing balance & imbalances.

That’s the power of time in Pilates: when we allow ourselves time, awareness grows and with that awareness comes Control and Flow.

As we near the end of October, what a full & fabulous month it’s been with the Pilates Magic Circle! 🌀

This small but mighty prop has helped us build strength, improve alignment, enhance body awareness & bring more control and precision to every move.

This week we’ll wrap up our Circle fun….setting us up beautifully for prop-free November, where we’ll carry that same strength and focus from within.

🗓 November classes run 3–28 Nov

Plus a Super Saturday session : Sat 15 Nov… ☺️

Can’t wait to see you on the mat this week as we finish our Magic Circle work with energy and grace. X

A glimpse into Pilates history …..
Joseph Pilates teaching (student Roberta Peters) with an original Magic Circle, crafted from metal….it looks so pliable.

We’ll be channeling some of that classic control and precision in our classes this week…. Look forward to seeing you & your magic on the mat…🌀

October classes :

My studio shelves are full of bands, balls, rollers, poles and magic circles ….. great props that can add variety.

However, in Jo Pilates’ original NYC studio, the only small prop was a much weightier magic circle.

Props were never meant to be the centrepiece of a class. Used well, they refine technique and sharpen focus. Used poorly, they steal attention from the real work: alignment, breath, and control.

In our October classes we will be using a mix of the magic circle & bands and will ensure that they continue to support the Pilates purpose of promoting strength, precision and control.

Reflection ……

6 months ago I took the beautiful studio space full-time, transforming it into a dedicated Pilates Emma studio space.

Offering :10 group mat classes each week alongside private Reformer sessions …. creating a space for movement, strength, and connection.

It feels like the perfect moment to pause, reflect on how far things have come and feel excited for all that’s still to come.

Happy weekend & see you all next week x

Ps….time flies when having fun!!

O is for One to One 🤍

One to One Reformer sessions are now a significant part of my weekly teaching timetable & it’s such a joy to see both regular clients and those new to me (and to Pilates) discovering the benefits of tailored, individual sessions.

Whether someone’s working with an injury, building confidence, or just craving a bit more tailored attention, One to One sessions are where progress can quietly unfold & in the tranquility of my studio space.

I’m really enjoying the balance that both group Mat classes and One to One Reformer sessions bring … not just to my teaching week, but to how my clients move, continue to improve, progress & grow. 🤍

Our Story

I am a fully qualified Mat level 3 Pilates teacher with over 18 years Pilates experience. I had the wonderful opportunity to train with Micheal King & Malcolm Muirhead (Qualified @ MK Pilates in 2012). I regularly keep myself update with a variety of online learning as well as attending specific training workshops.

I offer group, online and private one to one classes in the Herefordshire and Powys area. My mat classes are suitable for beginners to those looking to improve. To bring variety to classes I use Pilates light equipment eg Foam Rollers, Therabands, Loop Bands, Soft Balls, Weighted Balls etc

In class I create an environment that encourages concentration but I also recognize that there are times when clients need to interact thus ensuring everyone learns effectively and indeed each are working to their own capability.

Pilates practiced on a regular basis can truly make a difference :- lengthen & strengthen all the muscle groups and in particular those deep stabilizing abdominal and glute muscles. Pilates uniquely connects mind to body and allows us time to think about how we move and in turn encourage us to move better and more freely. Additional benefits include improved posture, strength, flexibility,coordination and balance..
