Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. Pilates tends to target the core, although the exercises work other areas of your body as well. You can do Pilates with or without equipment. At our studios and online, we incorporate a variety of other modalities in our teaching including yoga, meditation and massage.

Tailored adjustments are essential in this process, where both teacher and student work together considering any health concerns, physical injuries or emotional blocks to exercises. Pilates teaches one the skill of how to sit, stand, move and breathe with ease.

There are over 600 exercises in the Pilates repertoire that can be practiced on the mat or apparatus, including the reformer, cadillac, wunda chair, tower, spring board and ladder barrel. The movements can also be achieved with limited space and equipment. Pilates is suited to men and women of all life stages. It is an especially kind way to move during and after child birth and throughout menopause.

Pilates is ideal for clients with injuries, pain and health concerns. The practice is completely safe for clients of all ages and fitness levels. Pilates is proven to:

• Increase muscle strength and tone

• Reduce stress

• Improve mobility and flexibility

• Improve bone density

• Improve posture

• Support breathing with increased lung capacity and improved circulation

• Rehabilitation and prevention of injuries

• Improve physical coordination and balance

Meditation incorporates a variety of practices that bring attention to one’s breath in the present moment. Although the practice is not intended to achieve anything, there are many positive effects including reducing negative emotions and supporting people with stress.

The emotional and physical benefits of meditation include an improved ability to deal with stress, reducing negative thoughts and emotions, increasing imagination and creativity, improving sleep quality.

A regular meditation practice is proven to support people with various medical conditions, including those that are made worse by stress.

This includes:

• Anxiety

• Asthma

• Cancer

• Chronic pain

• Depression

• Heart disease

• High blood pressure

• Irritable bowel syndrome

• Sleep problems

• Tension headaches

Our members are required to have their own Pilates or yoga mat. It is important that you feel a deep connection with your mat, as this will become your sacred space for the healing practices that are offered here. Generally, your mat should be only for you to sit, stand and lie on. Treat your mat with gentleness, cleaning it after each use and keeping it out of direct sunlight. 

At times, we incorporate the Pilates small ball, theraband (with medium resistance) and soft foam roller (90cm) in our physical practices although these are not mandatory. Prenatal clients are required to have a larger Swiss exercise ball depending on your height. 

For meditation, it might be that you feel more comfortable with a meditation cushion that raises your hips. Meditation can also be practiced seated directly on your mat or upright in a regular chair. 

We are quite inventive and make use of items that are generally lying around the home including pillows, blankets, small towels, yoga blocks, broomsticks, chairs, and other bits and bobs. 

It is gently suggested that you set up a separate space in your home or office to practice, whether the practice is prerecorded or live. Generally, it is better if this space is not where you eat, sleep, or work. It should be clear of clutter or heavy noise. It might be that you enjoy burning candles, diffusing essential oils, or listening to gentle music while you practice. 

Take 5-minutes before you practice to empty your bladder, bowels and breasts (for members who are breastfeeding). Always listen to your body and take it easy if you experience any bad pain or physical/emotional discomfort that is overwhelming. 

As a teacher, I have completed a Comprehensive Pilates Teaching Qualification with Body Arts and Science International (BASI), which includes specialised theoretical and practical training taken over the course of one year. In addition, I hold a 200-hour Mat Teaching Qualification through BASI and continued professional development training in Pilates for Injuries & Pathologies and Pilates for Pre- and Post-Pregnancy.

I have been teaching full time since 2015 with 10,000+ hours of client teaching experience. I founded and currently own a specialised Pilates and yoga studio in the south of France (The Studio Côte d'Azur) which has been open for over eight years. For the last three years, I have offered specialised Pilates teaching online through The Studio Online. In 2023, I opened a specialised Pilates studio in Skåne, Sweden (The Studio of Sweden). I regularly travel internationally to teach Pilates and advise other teachers and Pilates studios. I am professionally insured to teach Pilates worldwide except for Canada and the US. Outside of Pilates, I am a lifelong student of the mind-body approach to wellbeing. In 2022, I took a year sabbatical to study a 9-month course in healing trauma. I am also a student of daily meditation. All my co-teachers and team members here are selected for their experience, expertise and professionalism in the fields of Pilates and meditation.
