Class Descriptions
Thanks for checking out what classes I offer! I believe Pilates is best taught to small groups of people with similar fitness levels and experience which is why there are so many options below. If you are unsure which class might be best for you please just get in touch! My class timetable can be found here.
All my classes are booked in 6 week blocks and are progressive in nature. This means as you develop your core strength and flexibility you will learn more challenging exercises. Instead of "dropping in" you will get the benefit of regular practice of specific exercises geared to your current level.
All of the exercises I teach can be modified for injuries or chronic conditions- please let me know upon booking so I can prepare alternatives for you. If needed I may request you book a 1:1 session so we can assess your current requirements.

This class is performed while seated or standing for short periods. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Intermediate/Advanced Level
These challenging classes are for participants with a minimum of six months experience of weekly sessions. The exercises are very dynamic and more time is spent on practice with less demonstrations given. If you have experience elsewhere and would like to join this class, please contact me as I will need to meet with you for a 1:1 first.
1:1 Sessions
Individual sessions allow the time for a detailed postural assessment and allow for targeted work. After the first session I will follow up with a written plan via email, suggesting appropriate exercises and activities for improvement. If requested I can also provide a postural assessment. If you book 6 sessions I will provide you with a 50 minute audio guide, tailored specifically to you for your home practice.
Corporate Wellness Classes
If you sit in an office all day and have neck, shoulder, or back pain then this class is a great option for you. I will come to your place of work and teach you and up to 11 of your colleagues. These sessions will be for mixed abilities and provide you with a much needed release of tension in the middle of your workday.
