My aim is to help you to move more effortlessly and freely in your everyday life, “oiling” the joints with gentle controlled movements and helping you to develop both strength and mobility in a balanced way.
All ages are welcome; whether you are a parent wanting to rebuild core strength & posture now that your children are at school, newly retired & motivated to maintain bone mass & keep aches & pains at bay, working from home & keen to fit some movement into your desk-bound day, or in your 70s & determined to maintain your strength and balance, my small friendly classes or online sessions can help you feel great again!!
Every Worth Pilates class will include a variety of standing, seated, kneeling and lying exercises using small equipment (such as resistance bands, balls, foam rollers, weights and toning circles) or just gravity to strengthen and mobilise the main joints of the body. We will learn how breathing well can really help you to move well and how it is crucial for building a strong yet adaptable “core” as well as helping you to relax at the end of the day.
As a Body Control Pilates Instructor my classes will only contain 8-10 people. This is so I can give you my full attention, provide you with personalised cues and help you to perform every exercise in a way that's right for you.

"I enjoy the way you plan each class, that you demonstrate the exercise, and that you make sure we are in the right position. I have been doing Pilates for 7 years and I am still learning, from you, how to position myself correctly. I appreciate the fact that you are aware of each individual's difficulties and will offer alternate exercises."
Pilates is also wonderful for teaching you high-quality movement to carry into your everyday lives and as such we incorporate day-to-day "natural movements" such as squatting, rolling, crawling, getting up and down from the floor, and sitting or standing with great posture. These are the essential movements that our bodies need to do well for healthy day-to-day living but often our sedentary lives cause us to lose these fundamental movement skills. Practising Pilates rebuilds the strength and flexibility to perform these crucial skills with ease.
Even if you are very sporty and active you may still have pain in your joints or stiffness that you notice when you for run or play tennis or golf or work hard in the garden. Classes at Worth Pilates give you the opportunity to slow down and “look under the microscope” at how your body is moving, exploring, fine-tuning and practising the small movements which put together in the most efficient sequence help us to move freely and with ease once more.

Very often stiffness, joint problems and balance- or movement difficulties can be caused by alignment issues and so our exercises focus on how we align or “stack” the different parts of our body for optimal effect, reducing wear and tear on the joints, maximising the bone-building capability of every movement and allowing our muscles to work in the most coordinated way possible.
Being able to focus on detailed movements at specific joints means that we can adjust each exercise to be safe and beneficial for those of you with, for example, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, hip or knee replacements etc. But we can also tweak each movement to make it more challenging, highlighting when and where your body might be compensating for movement restrictions or imbalances and showing you how to get more "bang for your buck" with every exercise.
