Welcome to the Matwork Pilates page
As a Pilates teacher, I’m making it my mission to help you move better and feel stronger using the Pilates method.
In addition to having 30 years experience teaching Fitness, I am also an exercise referral teacher and advanced lower back specialist so I have a keen interest in anyone with non specific back pain. I truly believe that movement heals and I would love to help you experience this for yourself. I also have taught many disciplines over the years so I do take my inspiration from many of these when designing my sessions. Don't be surprised to see something a bit different to other Pilates classes you may have tried.
Class details are below - do get in touch if you have any questions !!

It’s safe - Pilates has long been recommended as one of the safest forms of exercise by GPs, physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths as a method to keep the spine healthy and injury free.
It’s Gentle and challenging - Pilates is an extremely flexible exercise system. Modifications to the exercises allow for a range of difficulty raging from beginners to advanced so is therefore suitable for all fitness levels and age groups.
My Pilates classes are run on a six week block. This allows you to learn the method week to week, building on the essential principles including breath and control.
