Who am I?
I run my Pilates with a Twist classes with a lot of humour, kindness, acceptance, understanding and creativity (I have an arts background).
I have been teaching Pilates for around 20 years now, initially teaching ‘traditional’ Pilates and then evolving that as I started to add in the extra knowledge and awareness that came with with my AiM functional movement training and MovNat training, as well as an occasional nod toward the Feldenkrais way of experiencing the body. These additions are one way of describing what the ‘Twist’ in Pilates with a Twist, is.

Who is Pilates with a Twist for?
The classes are great for those that feel that they no longer understand their body or have ‘fallen out’ with it, often due to pain, injury or surgery. People who feel they’re getting stiff, or have poor balance, particularly benefit from the classes. Everyone works at their own level - the classes are mixed ability (although some classes are better suited to some people than others). The age range tends to be between 40 and 70, although I do have clients who are younger or older. There are many men who now attend the classes too. The classes also suit those who like variety - no two weeks are the same.

What is the aim?
For me, the aim is to reconnect people with their body - re-establish a dialogue with it, encourage respect and understanding for it and rebalance it, all whilst strengthening and mobilising it, improving function and stability and having a sense of humour as we do it. People are often amazed at how quickly the hour goes by!

​My passion and enthusiasm for my work is infectious and I have a great
ability to explain the complicated mechanics of the body in terms that my
clients can understand. Everything I do involves a strong attention to detail and is mixed with laughter, warmth and genuine enjoyment.
I teach educational, friendly, inclusive classes that are particularly suited to those who think that, for whatever reason, they are unfit for exercise.
I have been teaching movement since 2001.
 
 
Pilates with a Twist is...
… all about you and your body in that moment, on that day - understanding and respecting the changes that occur in us as a result of what's going on in our lives. It’s about noticing what is going on in your body as you move. 
… about coaxing the body into a new world view - one that is more free and able to tap into more potential. It is not about control. The more we can create a dialogue with our body and learn to understand it, the easier it is to live and work with it.
… about reconnecting you with your body after pain, injury or surgery.

TESTIMONIALS:

A class containing a beautiful mix of movements, taken from a variety of disciplines, with the aim of gently re-awakening, mobilising and strengthening the whole body, from top to toe.

The focus is on waking-up each area of the body - in particular, liberating the hips, spine, shoulders neck and jaw, whilst also strengthening key weak areas such as the foot and the core stabilizers of the spine, hips and shoulders.

A large part of these classes is the encouragement to respect and listen to the wisdom of your own body, whilst being gently coaxed to push yourself to experience and embrace new challenges.

What to expect from a Pilates with a Twist class:

A friendly atmosphere with personal attention

A lovely sense of freedom of movement with a reduction in stiffness and pain

Increased muscle-tone, strength and balance

Relaxation, time for yourself and a greater understanding of your own body

An opportunity to tackle new challenges in a safe environment

A large repertoire of exercises with detailed and imaginative explanations

The way people walk affects everything from their physical potential to their daily pain.
