move - live - love

Meet Emma 

As a trained dancer with 15 years of teaching experience from young children through to adults, teachers, and professional performers, I first discovered Pilates about 15 years ago and fell in love with the many benefits it has to offer.

​

In 2009 ill-health meant I had to leave the dance profession and left me believing I may never be well enough to teach again. After 8 years of slowly recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome, the time was right to explore the world of movement again. Pilates was the perfect choice as it was always an area I had loved after attending classes for several years before my illness. I am thrilled that my Pilates love affair has been rekindled…which I pass on to my clients with enthusiasm and joy  - it is catching so beware!

I am a fully qualified matwork teacher and also currently a BASI Pilates (Body Art and Science International) fully comprehensive student, undertaking a 600-hour training program to further my knowledge and train in the studio equipment such as the reformer, cadillac, wunda chair, and barrels.

​

I love the diversity that Pilates has to offer and believe that looking after your health and wellbeing shouldn’t be a punishment. It’s an amazing and empowering lifestyle decision that anyone can make. I believe in finding the pleasurable side of looking after your health and this starts with building a strong body and mind. There may be a sore muscle or two along the way, but the benefits of Pilates are worth it!

My classes are fun, flowing, and effective. Providing a challenge where desired and are designed to ensure clients are left feeling physically and mentally balanced, with a feeling of achievement and joy. 

​

I am lucky to work with a variety of people in both personal and group sessions and adore nothing more than helping my female clients to become stronger in both body and mind, and creating a supportive network within my classes. Especially as I personally know how beneficial Pilates can be to restore health and wellbeing.

​

I absolutely adore teaching Pilates and hope to meet you in class soon and spread the Pilates love a little further!

​

Love 

Emma xx

​

Favourite Pilates Move?

​

Oooh - a hard question as there are so many!! Anything that rolls through the spine - but my favorite is Open Leg Rocker!

​

Nemesis Pilates Move?

​

Control Balance - I am getting better at it as I am practicing and strengthening but it is still a challenge for me!

​

What do you enjoy doing other than teaching and practicing Pilates?

​

Anything that is outside in the fresh air generally. Stand up paddle boarding is my top favourite, followed by walking and cycling Chilling out with my family is something I also do a lot to balance things out. Everyone needs downtime to let their bodies relax and re-energise.

​

What would you say to someone who had never done Pilates before but wanted to give it a whirl?

​

Do it!! Enjoy it and be patient. Listen to your body and do what you are comfortable with at the start. Progression, not perfection is a great motto to follow and before you know it you will reap from the benefits Pilates has to offer!!
