Cat Proudfoot is a Pilates teacher and lover of movement. She runs Margate Pilates Studio with her b

Cat started practising Pilates after suffering from a spinal injury eight years ago. From that moment she knew that she wanted to show people how beneficial Pilates could be, not only as a means of rehabilitation, but also for everyday life. She believes strongly that the development of deeper body awareness using the Pilates method can lead to overall health and wellbeing. Having spent her childh

ood playing all sorts of sport and enjoying anything that meant she didn’t have to sit still, the obvious next step for Cat was to become a Pilates instructor. She went on to train with the Pilates Foundation in London, where she taught matwork classes and developed her work with individual clients and smaller groups.

Like mother, like daughter 💞

On the sweatiest Tuesday on record in the studio 🥵

This year marks my 10th year of teaching Pilates and about 18 years of practicing it.

It marks 8 years of , 3 years in our home in Westgate, 2 studio locations in Margate prior to that, and multiple studios, halls and kitchen floors I have taught on over the years (thank you too all I have worked with).

2025 also marks the first year of me running my own teacher training course with The Pilates Foundation…. and the first time I’ve grown my hair past my ears since about 2008.

Here’s a little round up of photos old and new, and there’ll be more to come on what to expect from our teacher training and apprenticeship course.

I BLOODY LOVE MY JOB 😻😻😻😻

Knee-hab has mainly looked like this….

My husband has been a skateboarder longer than I’ve been alive. Luckily without major injury until a freak moment that fully ruptured his ACL. Ouch!!

The next year is dedicated to getting him back to strength and back on that board 🛹🎯 he’s doing all the physio exercises, ice-ing, legs up the wall… all without my even having to say a thing AND is a Pilates convert 😜 at long last!

THE PELVIC BOWL 🩷🧡

Ever since Cat introduced Charlie to the concept of the pelvis as a ‘bowl’, the notion of making a ceramic ‘Pelvic Bowl’ as a powerful, beautiful object for honouring the body has been waiting to bloom. Having worked together for many years, we have combined our knowledge of the body, ceremonial objects and self reflection to hone an offering that we think you will love.

Through somatic movement, guided meditation sessions and journal prompts, you will embark on a journey to tap into the wisdom of your body.

You will then have the opportunity to channel your new found awareness and creative energy into hand building ceramics. You will craft a ceramic bowl that reflects your personal journey of self-discovery.

Join us on this empowering exploration of body, mind, and clay as we embark on a journey of self-connection and creative expression.

Commitment dates: 18th Jan, 1st Feb & 15th Feb

Never did I love a poster more

Last years Pride poster has been a permanent fixture but I’ve finally taken it down - it’s bodies and beings that plastered it replicate the bodies and beings that come to our studio

Absolutely anybody and everybody alike ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🖤🤎🤍🩶

The irony of the photo is not lost on me. And this gift from a client was spot on 👌🏽 she knows me well.

Have had a wonderful couple of weeks of travelling and seeing friends and family. I always find time out inspiring and am so excited for the next chapter for the studio. The next week is about working on that, getting in the studio myself and I cannot wait to see my clients on the other side. 💪🏽🤸🏼‍♀️

Hope you’re all having a slow summer somehow 🐢 and see you soon 👋🏼

OYSTERMAN TRIATHLON 2024

Many mountains climbed, it was time for a change.

After a small tear in my calf and really not being a runner I wanted to retrain my body (well, actually train my body) to run. And I did it! Any kind of marathon has never interested me but I do love a challenge.

I wanted to complete it comfortably in 2 hours and I did it in 1.52 WITH LARYNGITIS (I know I know, rest is best - that’s all I’ve done before and an after). I now have an aim to doing it in well, less, next year and maybe not so comfortably.

The swim is gnarly, but loved every moment of it all the same. Cannot wait for next year.

And no, I’m not ready for an Ironman just yet thanks

Th Echoing Silences of Metal and Skin - Doruntina Kastrati

National Pavilion for Kosovo - Venice Biennale 2024

The moment we walked into this space, I knew it was my favourite piece of the Biennale. I hadn’t read anything about this piece before I knew I felt it and loved it. Upon reading the synopsis, I understood why.

Yes. Yes. Yes to this wonder. Simple yet powerful.

RE:Treat with us Sunday 26th April

Imagine feeling open, relaxed and free in your body. What would it be like to be able to release tension and ease pain yourself wherever and whenever you want?

Allow the powers of Reiki and Somatics to unblock any patterns or issues that stop you from living the life you most desire. Cat will lead you through a series of Somatic movement to settle you into comfort in your body before Simone balances your energetic system through the power of Reiki.

This blend of both physical and energetic shifting of your nervous system gives you the tools to free yourselves, moving us clearly in the direction of balanced strength and away from injury and imbalance.

This emphasis on agency (the ability to affect and change your life) is empowering, liberating and practical. After all, you’re the one that lives in your body. Who else knows you better that yourself?

Studio 2 feeling truly wonderous with the cherry blossom outside… and a more classical feel inside.

Even if I have used it recently for drying off after a soggy cycle to work (not@today though!! ☀️☀️☀️)

Our Story

I started Proudfoot Pilates as my initial business name, but this has since evolved. I work with my business partner Neil running Margate Pilates Studio. This has become much more a document of my interests and how Pilates has helped me and my body.
