Whether you want to improve your posture, reduce joint pain, or add some strength and flexibility to your exercise routine, I’d love to help you achieve your aims.

It's my pleasure to welcome you to BN1 Pilates. I passionately believe that anyone of any age and fitness can benefit from Pilates; from teenagers, to the stressed office worker, professional athletes to the retired. Pilates works for everyone because everyone needs and takes something different. Above all, my classes are relaxed, challenging, educational and light hearted. I believe exercise should be fun.

I qualified with STOTT PILATES® which is regarded as one of the world’s leaders in the Pilates field. It is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. I’m particularly interested in post-natal and ante-natal Pilates, using Pilates to recover from injuries and Pilates for older people. I regularly attend courses and workshops to keep up to date with the latest research and techniques.

I first discovered Pilates when I fractured my hip in 2007 while training for a half marathon. A physiotherapist recommended Pilates as part of my recovery and I found that Pilates not only helped me to get back on my feet quickly, but it also improved my strength, posture and flexibility and I was also able to start running again.

Since then I have had two children, and Pilates helped me prepare for the births and just as importantly, it also helped with my recovery.

I was so impressed with my results from Pilates and how it made me feel, that I wanted to understand more about how Pilates worked. I decided to take my interest further by becoming a qualified instructor and share the benefits with others.
