Delivered via Zoom online in real time, this 1 hour session is a mixture of Pilates & Yoga, which I call Piloga. Each Piloga class is carefully designed to give you a whole body workout. The movements work on your core giving you strength from the inside. These deep muscles attach into your spine helping to strengthen your back and improve your posture. As we work at strengthening your muscles, through gentle stretching we also work on lengthening them to give you increased flexibility. We co-ordinate movement and breathing, which not only helps you to increase the intensity of each exercise, but also aids the release of tension and deep relaxation. At the end of each session you will feel stronger, more energised and more relaxed.

I first discovered Pilates way back in 1996. I had always seen exercise as a necessary evil that enabled me to eat chocolate without getting too fat. I did my fair share of slogging it out at the gym but never really understood the feel good high that people spoke about. I read a couple of articles about Pilates and thought that it sounded interesting so I set about finding a class. I remember my very first class. My teacher was amazing. An ex-dancer with a fantastic body, she was a lovely lady who radiated confidence and really inspired me. The exercises weren’t easy, but they made sense and made me feel great. My body became stronger and my muscles more toned. My posture improved to the point that my exaggerated lumbar curve (which had caused me significant lower back pain) disappeared as I realigned my spine and retrained my body to work properly.
I was hooked. Not long after I started Pilates, I knew that one day I wanted to be a Pilates Instructor. 10 years after my very first class I qualified as an instructor with Stott Pilates and I love my job.
