As adults, Pilates helps us embrace the wide range of movements our bodies are capable of. Think of children, how freely they move in comparison to adult movement, which sometimes becomes limited.

Pilates is said to be an iron fist in a velvet glove! It requires strength and discipline. Men often pass it by, believing it is not hard enough! Some women who love to do aerobics often miss out on the deeper benefits of practising Pilates.

Pilates brings a real connection to your body and the way it moves. It's not only about long, lean muscles and toned abdominals and bottoms, it's also about balance, focus, bone density, stress relief and strength.

Pilates is suitable for everybody. Classes and one-to-one sessions are available. I have experience in working with chronic back pain, post-operative back care, stroke rehabilitation, pre- and post-natal, seniors and athletes.
