Pilates is an exercise system that was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It teaches awareness of the body and the breath by using controlled and precise movements to strengthen the deep stabilising muscles. Pilates can improve balance, flexibility, strength, coordination, and reduce the risk of injury.

As a qualified Pilates teacher and Biomechanics Coach I treat the body as an interconnected whole. I use my knowledge of anatomy and movement to create classes that are fun, challenging, and suitable for all participants.

I ensure there are movement variations available and each class will improve strength, functional movement, mobility, and make you feel better leaving than you did coming in.

Taking this approach to the body and using the Pilates method is a great and safe way to achieve your fitness goals, rehabilitate from injury, preventative rehab, and building body awareness.

I sustained an injury in February which has been slow to recover but I discovered Jo has an extra qualification in biomechanics so she has been able to put together a little programme tailored to helping me recover. My Physio is well impressed.
