My experience of Ana's teaching has been excellent. I came as a complete novice with a longstanding back problem and have I have found Ana to be extremely knowledgeable and skilled at teaching me, despite my physical restrictions. She has helped me understand how to help myself, and she has made Pilates fun and interesting. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone considering 1-2-1 Pilates lessons.

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.
