I have been teaching Pilates for over 4 years and have gained much experience with back and joint problems, sciatica, pre and post-natal Pilates - and know how to adapt the exercise to suit each individual. All my classes are mixed ability with the majority being beginners and intermediates. Don't be worried by that if you are new to Pilates as I will ask you to carry out a 1-2-1 session with me first, so you understand the terminology. I will also show you how to execute some exercises so when you come into class you won't feel lost. I also have considerable experience with pre and post-natal women and adapt the exercises to suit the trimester. I will keep a close eye on your postural changes and make you aware of them as the curving of your lower back and rounding of your shoulders can put undue stress on your joints and cause back aches through pregnancy. I will check for diastasis recti, which is the splitting of the abdominals, which can happen in the third trimester and
