I'm sure I've grown 3 inches since I started a beginners pilates class with Ann in 2007! I'm definitely more flexible and I know my posture has improved. All this and I have fun too! I'm now doing a more advanced class and enjoy the challenge. Ann is always aware of our various aches, pains and ailments and suggests alternative exercises for us if necessary. The classes are small so we all get plenty of individual attention. Over the years I've taken classes with the other instructors at Ann's studio and they are all great too. In these strange times Ann is continuing to run very professional classes on zoom. I'm missing her lovely studio but it's great to have a class to look forward to. I'd thoroughly recommend her to beginners and anyone at a more advanced level.

Ann and her team of experienced teachers are great. I have been attending classes for 15 years+. Would highly recommend. They are constantly updating their practice, always take in to account individual needs, limit class size to keep an important guiding eye on each client and, having adapted so well in the 2020 pandemic, I don't think there is a hurdle they can't master. The classes are also fun and sociable which is important. Give them a try!
