TESTIMONIALS

“I attend one of Emily’s general mat Pilates classes. I came late (62 years) to Pilates and I cannot thank her enough for her patient teaching and communication skills. I leave her classes feeling fluid and energised and never with soreness or stiffness.
I now have had a one-to-one Reformer session. Which although tough was a really enjoyable experience. It was as though my whole body had been massaged from the tips of my toes and fingers to the top of my head. It stretched and isolated muscles in every part of my body, again under the clear precise and friendly instruction from Emily.”

———-
“I have found my confidence and skills have grown under Emily’s expert teaching and guidance. Emily is very articulate and patient at explaining each of the moves, ensuring that I have understood the background to each exercise. This benefits me enormously as under her tuition, I am doing each of the moves more accurately and consequently, really feel the benefits of the workout at end of each of our sessions.”
