Pilates & workshops
“A man is as young as his spinal column.” Joseph Pilates is known for saying. “If your spine is stiff at 30, you are old. If it is flexible at 60, you are young.”
You may have heard Pilates works on your core strength and your posture.
That’s correct, but it’s also so much more.
It’s truly a whole body workout that looks at improving coordination, flexibility, stretching and strengthening. Perfect for times like now, when we’re spending so much time sitting hunched over our make-shift home desks!
In the class we’ll work on incorporating the breath into our exercises, with the aim of releasing tension, allowing for enhanced movement and giving you a greater body awareness. Again, helping you get through these tricky times, relaxing and grounding you.
Get that mind body connection, combined with improved strength and flexibility!
Monday: 6.45pm (45min class for all levels)

I am also working with ORKU chiropractors on Henleaze Road so you can catch me there at the following times:
Monday: 12.30pm and 8pm
Thursday: 12.30pm
Please note these are very much for the beginner and are very popular. Speak to them directly to book on.
If you have any injuries or ailments and have never done Pilates before then I would request that you do an Introductory 121 session with me so that you're equipped with the basics before starting a class. This can be done online or in-person.
Sometimes it's difficult to get to a live class and sometimes there isn't a time convenient for you. This offers you access to some short and sweet routines that you can do as and when you like.
On-demand Pilates just £15 for 2 weeks access.
This 5 session self-paced course is perfect for complete beginners or anyone who needs a refresher.
I take things right back to basics to ensure you get the right positioning, the right breathing and that you know what muscles you're meant to be working. We steadily add on additional moves as we go throughout the course, so you'll get chance to experience a range of exercises.
This is time to listen to your body and get it used to these new moves.
You can start any time and you have 3 months in which to watch all videos (you can go back to any of them as many times as you wish within this 3 months). Book here
If you have neck tension from sitting at a desk so much, or you get random strains from doing very little, or you simply feel a little creaky, come and join my MOVE WELL programme.

I also did a series of 4 online workshops in November and you can get the recordings of these.
