Welcome to Cotswold Pilates!

Pilates is an exercise programme combining elements of martial arts, yoga and gymnastics. It works by strengthening the core postural muscles of the body, rebalancing the body and bringing it back into correct alignment. The result? A longer, leaner body and, because all exercises are done in a slow, controlled way, much longer-term results. It is also a great way of relieving unwanted stress and tension.

Pilates also strengthens the deep stablising muscles of the trunk, making it ideal for the prevention and treatment of back problems – one of the reasons why Pilates enjoys unique support from the medical profession and is at the leading edge of sports medicine today.

I am now running classes in: Broadway, Moreton-in-Marsh and Childswickham.

Class numbers are limited to twelve people so I can give a high level of personal supervision and tuition. Beginner’s classes are suitable for first-time exercisers.

I am a member of the Body Control Pilates® Association, widely seen as the quality standard for Pilates teaching, a member of the Register of Exercise Professionals as a Pilates Teacher (Level 3: Advanced Instructor - A ‘Level 3’ Pilates qualification is now a precondition for entry onto the Register as a Pilates teacher). In addition I am a qualified Health Psychologist with a masters degree from the University of Surrey, Guildford. I worked for more than five years at Gloucester Royal Hospital in the Pain Management department where I was the first Health Psychologist in the UK to work in a Clinical setting. All members of the Body Control Pilates® Association adhere to a strict Code of Practice to ensure the highest teaching standards and professional ethics. Body Control Pilates® teachers are also set apart by the way in which every client is assessed before starting classes and in the way that they teach exercises in a progressive way, gradually adding more complex moves, to build strength and flexibility.
