My decision to introduce regular total beginners classes is to assist those who have no idea about Pilates, have little or no body awareness, feel stiff and inflexible, are carrying additional weight, have a low level of fitness and perhaps feel disillusioned with other forms of exercise as the entry level is too difficult. It is also an excellent starting point for hyper-mobile people who have too much joint flexibility and not enough muscular tone to assist the joints to stabilise. Recovering from injury or an operation and want to start with gentle exercise. This class teaches the Principles of Movement and Pilates breathing techniques; to enable you to improve no matter what your current condition is like

I began practicing Pilates over 35 years ago to build core strength following years of working in communications and marketing, spending many long hours at computers. After moving from London to Sevenoaks, and being unable to find a suitable Pilates teacher, I decided to train to teach. Twelve years have passed, and I have never looked back! Teaching Pilates and running my studio and virtual online classes is now my full-time occupation. I love working with individuals as well as the challenges that group and online teaching presents. Best of all, is that it is my privelege to work with each unique individual who comes to me with movement or postural limitations, and to help them to move more freely, with little effort, become more 'body aware' and able in their chosen activity, from just getting around, to specific sports training.
I've always loved fitness and movement, dancing, skating and swimming and my chosen approach to Pilates was through and Exercise to Music qualification with Future Fit, gaining a Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Mat Pilates. Further training with APPI in ante and post natal and cardio training on the reformer. I am a certified Polestar group Reformer teacher, and am delighted to have relocated my studio to The Education Centre at Coolings Nurseries, Rushmore Hill, Knockholt. TN14 7NN. This is a lovely space, where I now offer a program of mat and reformer classes as well as circuit combo classes using Pilates apparatus. I recently introducing the Combo Chair to the group class environment.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I have taken my Pilates Mat and other fitness classes online and stream them live from my home studio.
