“You are only as young as the flexibility of your spin”

Over the years the Pilates system has been adopted and changed by lots of different training providers. My education journey has lead me to establish a combination of pathways of main approaches; modern versus classical.

As part as of my ongoing professional development I am a third generation Joseph Pilates’ mentored teacher, this has informed the philosophy in the studio to create a pathway from modern to classical Pilates training. I have created a pathway for students to progress from a clinical referral from a GP with our Pre-Pilates class called Physio Pilates delivered by a chartered Physio. When students feel able and teacher knows they are ready they can then move to our beginners classes, which are modern Pilates an adapted version of Pilates. Once again, when pupils are ready they can then move up a level to the traditional form of Pilates referred to as classical Pilates. We want to find the right level for you, through out this process one2one support is available for further learning.
