She enjoys enabling all those who attend her classes to feel welcome upon arrival and, at the end of the class, feel taller, feel stress free and leave with the deep desire to practice yoga more often.

 

After practicing Pilates for many years to help me overcome my own issues I had experienced with a lower back injury. An injury that had caused me considerable pain and lack of mobility, I decided to take the plunge and study to become a Pilates Teacher. I qualified in July of 2020 with a YMCA Level 3 Mat Based Qualification.

I am so pleased that I am now in a position to help others to gain strength, build endurance and improve mobility as well as reducing stress, through the wonderful practice of Pilates.

My classes are based on personal experience and are fun and inclusive.
