Mind & Body Connection
Each session focuses on breathwork and mindful movement, reducing stress and creating a sense of calm that lasts well beyond the studio.

Every exercise can be adapted to suit your needs. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced mover, there's a place for you.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
"I've been doing Pilates on a regular basis for around twelve years now and have been attending Amanda's classes for eighteen months. Having attended classes with two other instructors previously, I can confidently say that I enjoy Amanda's the most. She caters for all ages and abilities, adds challenges and modifications to suit personal needs where appropriate and varies course content to provide motivation and stimulation, while consistently maintaining focus on the key core areas."
Gillian Ellison
Client of 18 Months
"I've been part of Amanda's Pilates classes for over 5 years. I enjoyed Amanda's way of teaching straight away. She's great at explaining new routines and what to expect from the exercise. The classes are suitable for mixed ability as Amanda always has alternatives which I think is important. No one is left behind. The classes are fun and never boring as Amanda changes the routines regularly sometimes introducing the use of equipment. Highly recommend Amanda's classes."
Bev Hall

"We've been coming to Amanda's pilates class for 6 years. Amanda creates a safe and nurturing space, building confidence in the different exercises. Amanda supports us to push ourselves to try different exercises as the classes progress. I would fully recommend Amanda's classes - she is a brilliant teacher!"
