Fabulous business. I could barely walk through injury and Claire totally saved me. I have worked with all the instructors and they are all brilliant.

Claire is an intelligent lady with lots of ambition to understand and heal the body! I have had a terrible chronic pain due to my misaligned body/hip for the past 4 years and I was clueless to find what would help. Then I saw Claire and she balanced my body in 1 session (will depend on every individual) and I can even lay on the ground with no pain now! It's almost magical as I did not know this could even be fixed!

I had 1:1 and 3:1 sessions with Claire when I was struggling/coping with long-term COVID symptoms. Her professionalism, expertise, kindness, and humour made the sessions enjoyable even though, at times, it was painful . I highly recommend her classes/ and therapies. Heshani
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Blue Sky Pilates
Blue Sky Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat Pilates
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
