1:1 & 2:1 Studio Sessions
​I blend traditional Pilates exercises with modern biomechanical techniques exploring how the body moves through kinetic chains to build strength, balance and awareness. My studio is equipped with two reformer/tower combos, arc barrels and a Stability Chair. I have various small equipment to up and down grade exercises for mixed abilities.
​
We follow the 6 original principles of Pilates which are:
Breath - breathing with movement
Centre - working from our core
Concentration - focused movement
Control - mindful deliberate movement
Precision - attention to detail
Flow - seamless and efficient movement
Reformer – Strength
The reformer is one of the most iconic pieces of Pilates equipment. It resembles a low bed with a moving carriage, springs, ropes, and pulleys that create smooth, controlled resistance. Unlike weights, the springs challenge your muscles as they lengthen and shorten, helping you build strength without bulk. This type of training supports long, lean muscle development and allows us to work the body from almost any position or angle.
Tower – Mobility
The Tower is an attachment to the reformer that uses vertical poles, springs, bars, and straps to support and challenge the body. It’s especially effective for improving mobility, posture, and overall body awareness. The spring assistance and resistance make it ideal for increasing flexibility, decompressing the spine, and building strength in a way that feels both supported and dynamic.
Chair – Stability
The Pilates chair is a compact but powerful piece of equipment. It features a padded seat and a spring-loaded pedal that can be used in sitting, standing, or lying positions. The chair is excellent for developing core stability, balance, and control. Because it challenges the body against gravity, it’s particularly effective for strengthening the legs, glutes, shoulders, and deep core muscles through precise, controlled movement.
Arc Barrel – Spinal Support
The arc barrel is a lightweight, curved apparatus designed to support the natural shape of the spine. It’s often used to improve spinal mobility, release tension, and deepen core connection. The arc provides gentle support while encouraging better posture, flexibility, and more awareness through the back and abdominals.

First sessions consist of a health questionnaire and an assessment so I can pick the right exercises for your body and specific needs/sport.
