Life throws us curve balls sometimes!
Overcoming adversity is hard, but it is possible and can be a powerful force for change.
Pilates is helping me overcome adversity, it is helping me to rehabilitate pain following an injury which literally stopped me in my tracks.
Pilates is a perfect distraction. It heightens body awareness and has the power to make you feel stronger and better able to cope with chronic pain.
The practice involves mindful movement and breath. It awakens the parasympathetic nervous system helping us relax and recharge our energy.
I've worked in sales, training and coaching over the years and grateful to combine these skills to help you enjoy the magic of Pilates in a local venue, the workplace or at home.

Pilates can improve flexibility, balance, and posture. Over time it builds muscle strength, tightens our core and may reduce pain helping us feel empowered.
Empowering yourself is to make a conscious decision to take charge of your destiny, to make positive choices to invest in yourself.

Empowering yourself is to make a conscious decision to take charge of your destiny, to make positive choices to invest in yourself.
Taking action improves personal well-being.
When we're self empowered we understand our strengths and weaknesses and we're motivated to learn and achieve. We have a more positive outlook whether in recovery or in feeling a sense of ownership and control over our health.
Oh and it happens to have my name in it - bonus!

"Having been to a few of Emma's Pilates classes I can certainly say its always a joy.
I've done Pilates for many years but feel I've learnt a lot from Emma as she explains the fundamentals and I like the way she reminds us about our core and breathing so we don't forget! I have stiffness in my lower back and hips and Emma helps me with specific exercises which I also do at home when I get the chance and can really feel the difference."

"Emma has taught me so much about Pilates, before going to her classes I was only going to Yoga as well as running with my dog. After a few classes I felt different and it seems to be the perfect complement to everything else I do. I love the fact I learn something new at every class and its made me more conscious about my posture, I find myself correcting my position when walking and even when watching the TV! She’s got good energy and makes you feel at ease even if you’ve never done Pilates before. "

"Emma knows her stuff. She's a fun instructor and always helps make sure I'm moving in the right way. I sometimes struggle with neck pain and Emma offers me alternatives which really helps. I like the mix of challenging exercises, every class is different to keep us on our toes and all the lovely stretches we do during the class. I always leave feeling more flexible and with a smile on my face! I'd recommend anyone to Emma, you'll be in safe hands."
