What my Clients Say
I had lots of reservations before starting Pilates as I had not exercised in years but they soon dissolved. Pilates has helped me with my balance and overall general well-being. I have discovered I have abdominal muscles and a core!
Helen
I was slightly worried that I would be embarrassed that I couldn't do all the exercises, but because we are all similar I feel comfortable and not so worried if I do something 'wrong'. The classes are so friendly and welcoming and I love knowing that I'm doing something positive that will benefit me.
Heather
Christine is a great teacher and caters for individual needs in class. Every session is well planned with enough variety to keep you on your toes. Every class has left me feeling stronger and more flexible.
Fiona
Christine is an excellent Pilates teacher - very patient in explaining and correcting movements. The class is small, very friendly & full of fun each week!
Kamini
Five months ago, with a diagnosis of scoliosis, I had excruciating lower back pain when I stood for more than a few minutes or walked, my back was hunching, and my general mobility was in decline..... After my first few one-to-one sessions with Christine, the lower back pain was virtually gone and my mobility was dramatically improved. Now, after 20 sessions, people who haven’t seen me since I started Pilates are astounded by the improvement in my posture. It feels like having my life back and I can’t thank Christine enough. Her expertise is phenomenal, her dedication to her teaching is inspirational, and she is also great fun to learn with. Each week, she plans the session meticulously, and as well as this, takes the trouble to make videos so that I can do her activities at home. My only regret is that I didn’t start Pilates with Christine much sooner.

Why Pilates?
Learn new movement skills, developing your body awareness, increasing your strength and flexibility and improving your posture and coordination
Pilates targets the deep postural muscles, building strength from the inside out, re-balancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment
With regular practice, Pilates can help to reshape your body, which will become longer, leaner and more toned
Through improved movement and connection of mind and body Pilates is also a great way to relieve unwanted stress and tension
Is Pilates for me?
Yes! Although you might think, ‘I’m not fit enough / flexible enough’, Pilates is for almost anyone, of any age and fitness level. Regular practice can bring benefit to everyone, from professional athletes, who often incorporate Pilates into their training, to first-time exercisers. It is not a ‘quick-fix’, but its controlled approach means that it gives longer-term results. We can discuss your goals and identify the best programme for you.
“If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.”
“In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 you'll see the difference, and in 30 you'll have a new body”
“Physical fitness is the first prerequisite of happiness”
