​

On a Pilates journey with me, you understand and practice how to physically disconnect from the stress responses that send your body into Flight, Fright, Freeze response, to emerge from the disassociation and despair to be able to stimulate the Relaxation Response and your Rest, Digest & Recover state. Taking control of your health, weight & pleasure...  Living life on your terms in bliss and joy.

​

I take you through this with my 'ACTS of Courage' approach is a beautiful somatic yet visceral, very sensual and totally liberating process. I take you through the mindful stages of Awareness, Connection, Trust & Surrender.

​

• Become Aware of your current state. Assess your deviations and tight areas, holding spots, to be able to access your healthy Alignment,

• Connect deeply with breath, balance and focus to move from a strong core.

• To Trust that you are doing it right, in the moment.

• Surrender completely to healing and renewal to feel fit, strong and flexible all the time.

​

Why Living Pilates?

​

Living Pilates is the application of the Traditional Pilates Principles of Concentration, Breathing, Centring, Concentration, Control, Flow & Precision into your life's activities. Joseph Pilates developed his system to be Mind, Body & Soul Conditioning, and always promoted this concept. One should live by these principles and not merely practice them for a few hours each week. He called his system 'The Art & Science of Contrology'. 

​

Pilates is therefore about every day living with intelligent, efficient, effective, balanced, and economical movement, becoming fit, strong, and flexible no matter what age or ability. This way you will maintain greater health with each day, a clearer, more focused mind and inner power that is poised to take advantage of life's most exciting opportunities with courage and resilience.
