“I came to Pilates three years ago after feeling old, tired and having bad posture from standing hunched after 30 years of hairdressing.

One hour per week of Pilates is the bare minimum but has had the most impact on all my joints, ligaments and my posture. Core strength has lifted my body up and out of the hunched posture I was in. I feel it also centres me through breath and lengthens all my body more than any years of gym work or massage. I feel much taller, stronger and positive. That is why I return week after week to Pilates with Ella and Mary.

Wish I’d started Pilates 20 years ago.”
