Biomechanical Pilates for health, fitness, and function

Change happens through movement and movement heals

Joseph Pilates

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.

Why Reformer Class Size Matters

Class size is important when considering reformer Pilates. Doing Pilates isn’t enough, you need to be doing Pilates correctly to get the full benefits. You need individual correction and cues suited to your body and you cannot get that in a big class.

I’ve been to both Mat Classes and Reformer Classes with Jo at the helm and it’s clear that this teacher really knows her stuff. No matter what your age or physical ability she goes the extra mile to ensure you get the best and safest advice. Classes are very friendly and we always find plenty to laugh about – it’s not all hard work.
