What is Pilates to you in 3 words?

Movement. Flexibility. Strength.

Why I love to teach

I love helping my clients achieve something that they didn’t think they were capable of doing. By taking the time and putting in the work they will always see and feel their strength increasing – and to me that’s very rewarding. Once this has been achieved with one movement pattern, we can move on and conquer the next seemingly impossible task.
