Learn about my services
As someone who has spent plenty of time feeling out of balance and stressed, I have learnt a number of reliable tools and techniques for bringing myself back to a place of feeling calmer and more balanced and I would love to share some of these methods to help other people do the same.

I am currently taking a break from teaching regular weekly classes for health reasons.
I will still be available for private group sessions by appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. As there are a limited number of spaces available, booking your class ensures that you won’t miss out. You can book your class here
-
You can wear anything that you feel comfortable in and can easily move in. It is preferrable to have something slightly fitted that will stay in place when you are moving so you are not having to worry about “wardrobe malfunctions” during class. In cooler weathers, I recommend dressing in layers as your body temperature will fluctuate - especially during the cool down phase in Pilates or Savasana in yoga.
-
You will need a non slip yoga mat for your class. As the venue I am currently teaching from has wooden floors, I recommend choosing a mat that is on the thicker side and offers some padding.
For Pilates, you might also like to bring a sports towel, some grip socks and your water bottle.
For Yoga, you will need a blanket and yoga bolster or firm cushion. You might also like to bring some water.
-
My classes are suitable for all fitness and ability levels, although if you are looking for a sweaty, high intensity workout, then they might not be for you.
My focus is on helping people move in ways that help their body feel good, both on and off the mat. I also like to encourage a mindful approach to moving your body. This helps you get to know your body’s boundaries better so you know when you can increase the challenge or, more importantly, know when to dial things down a bit or modify the exercise or pose to better suit you.
I offer lots of alternatives within an exercise or pose to give you options to explore your current level of strength, mobility or fitness.
-
Beginners are more than welcome, as I do offer modifications and alternatives within each exercise or pose.
If you have never done Mat Pilates or Yoga before, it would be best to let me know at the start of the class, so I can check in with you during the class and make sure that you are feeling comfortable with the unfamiliar movements or terminology.
I do offer 30 minute 1:1 introduction to Yoga or Pilates sessions by appointment. Contact me to find out more.
Alternatively, keep an eye out on my website and socials for any upcoming Beginner Workshops.

That would depend on your individual goals and how many times per week you can attend a class (or practice at home).
Pilates and Yoga are like anything else, the more times you do it, the more quickly you will see results.
Usually you will notice a difference in about 4-6 weeks, depending on how often you practice.
Generally it’s good to aim for 2-3 times per week. Having said that, even once a week will create positive changes in your body and mind over time.

You do not need to commit to attending for the whole term, although it is a good way to set up a consistent practice for yourself and schedule in some weekly “you time”.
Having said that, as a shift worker myself, I understand that not everyone’s schedule will allow for a regular weekly class at the same time. This is why I am perfectly happy to let people drop into class on a casual basis.
