Megan, Pilates Teacher
A Pilates lover and Corgi mum! I started my own personal Pilates practice as an insecure teenager looking to ‘tone up’ but found so much more! I found confidence, connection to my body, strength in myself!
And now, over 10 years later, I help others to find these incredible, life changing benefits too!
I love to break the stereotypes of Pilates and fight back against the ‘Pilates Body’ trope. If you have a body and you’re doing Pilates, it's a Pilates body! Pilates really is for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or advanced, regardless of body type or gender!
If you step on the mat with me you’ll enjoy a dynamic pilates class with a focus on strength, stability, and flow. My classes will make sure you feel the burn, but I’ll be there with you, encouraging you, guiding you, and meeting you at your level. Helping you to find your own confidence, strength, and connect with your body too!
Joseph, Vinyasa Flow Teacher
Joseph’s journey into yoga began in 2010 whilst training as a contemporary dancer. The yoga mat became his sanctuary. Joseph realised that dance was a stepping stone to becoming a yoga teacher, and since 2018 this has been his main focus in life.
Joseph’s yoga classes have an emphasis on the desire to move, to feel and to be free. He wants to create an environment where people can take little bites of bravery. Joseph strives to hold a space for everybody to cultivate the patience to persist, to believe in themselves and to be tenderly fierce.
As well as teaching yoga, dance and other physical disciplines, Joseph is also an Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Therapist. This massage is perfect for “ironing things out” and the main focus is on deep tissue, pressure points and long pressured strokes.
You can find Joseph on the mat every Saturday morning at 9am.
