Massive Thank You to the wonderful for including me in her podcast .
Saoirse is such a proactive person. I had the best time doing this interview. Her daughter Skye is beyond cute and I’m amazed at how much a busy, working mother can fit into her day! Thank you, Saoirse!💚
In the podcast we chat about PILATES (of course) a typical day for me, how I became a Pilates instructor and tips for anyone thinking of going down this route. We talk about a plant based diet and overcoming illness. We really fit a lot into this 😂 follow for the podcast, also available on ITunes and YouTube ✌️ .

🧘🏼‍♀️ Comment with the best New Years Resolution you’ve ever undertaken 🙏 .

My 2018 News Years Resolution was to do the 34 original Pilates moves every day. I was inspired after re-reading Joseph Pilates writing- ‘Return to Life Through Contrology’ 📖 .
I have the biggest sense of achievement!! I’ve pretty much done it! I missed a good few weekends and some weeks I’d have to skip a day or two here or there but there hasn’t been a full week all year that I’ve done less than two days! .
It feels amazing!! So many, unbelievable postural benefits. Loads of new flexibility and all the core strength. It really is life changing! The mental benefits are incredible too! I could go on and on! I just want to everyone to experience the original sequence ✨
A few months ago Joe at Life Balance decided to join me every Monday and Thursday. We’ve both been buzzing. It honestly leaves you feeling so energised and gets rid of all your postural aches and pains
I will definitely be keeping it up into 2019! Best new years resolution I’ve ever undertaken!! So happy!
Keep an eye out for 34 Moves Master Class we’ll be running again in the new year. I loved the last one! Thank you to all who attended

organized the most stunning event ever in on Tara St .
I think we were all blown away by how amazingly passionate and lovely Claire is. She practices what she preaches and the fact that she wants to share her happiness, with everyone else, is so amazing!
This event was a huge success!!! Hearing all of the passionate people speaking about doing what they love and getting to share my own story was such a privilege. The feedback from those who attended was really touching. I think everyone experienced all the feelzzz when attendees stood up to share at the end 🧡
Cannot wait for the next event! Thank you so much! ❤️

Doesn't look like much but that's Pilates for ya (sometimes)
The subtle movements become more and more amazing the further we progress our practise and can appreciate their brilliance!
and I did an exciting photoshoot at the weekend where we had to hold a lot of Ballet inspired poses and shapes. Both of us felt a little worse-for-wear afterwards. This simple Ladder Barrel routine made a huge difference- returning some balance to my muscles .
