Pilates rebalances and re-educates the body, allowing it to move well. It strengthens deep, core muscles around the
tummy and waist and relieves tension by releasing tight muscles particularly around the back, neck and hips.
Whether you are a newcomer to exercise, recovering from injury, or want to enhance your current exercise regime,
Pilates is suitable for all ages and all abilities. At Horsley Pilates, we are experienced in bone health and experts in Parkinson's and scoliosis.
​
We are trained in the Body Control Pilates method, widely recognised as the benchmark for safe and effective
teaching of the highest quality. It is Europe's largest professional Pilates association.
We offer small group mat classes across two locations - my garden Studio in East Horsley which holds a maximum
of 8 clients, and The Drift Golf Club which can take up to 12, so that you can truly benefit from our individual
attention, hands-on expertise and experience.
We also provide 1:1 sessions for beginners looking to establish the fundamentals of Pilates before joining a
mat class, for rehabilitation or for those clients requiring a bespoke Pilates experience, using a variety of
equipment, including the Reformer, Cadillac and Chair.

I believe that Pilates really is for ‘everyone’ and that there are simply no boundaries in your way. It can be adapted to suit anyone and everyone. Whatever your age or sporting ability from the exercise phobic to the elite sports person. Pilates will enable you to not only achieve, but enhance your wellbeing and gain a better quality
of life.
It inspires me to analyse the way people move. I am constantly amazed by everyone’s infinite movement potential. My thirst for knowledge challenges and excites me, endlessly. It fuels my passion to enable clients to reach their full movement potential , encouraging them to discover what their bodies are truly capable of achieving.
If someone asked me to find one word that sums up Pilates my answer would be “I can’t”. There are just too many. I love: it’s power, it’s strength, its discipline, it’s attention to detail , it’s mindfulness, how it works both the mental and physical in tandem, and it’s healing power.
Or as a truly inspirational international Pilates presenter - Anula Maiberg puts it more philosophically:
"We are all combating two things, all day, every day: mortality and gravity, both of these things are going in a single direction. I get paid to teach my students to fight both and as a result be less afraid".

I’ve been attending Pilates classes since I was diagnosed with hyper lordosis following my first pregnancy in 2000. (That’s quite a curve in the lower spine). Pilates was recommended by my osteopath to support my lower back issues and has significantly improved my posture and eliminated any lower back pain that I began to experience following pregnancy. This led me to train as a Level 3 Mat Pilates teacher giving me the opportunity to teach something that I love and am passionate about. In my spare time you can usually find me on a tennis court.

I discovered Pilates in my 20s after an ankle sprain. Unable to do any high impact exercise, I decided to give Pilates ' a go' and I've never looked back.
Whether I was looking to escape
daily stress, relax or build strength, flexibility and mobility, it all seemed to fit together like the perfect puzzle, making my body and mind feel
better after each practise. For me, Pilates feels like a form of meditation in movement.
Pilates opens up so many possibilities and varieties of movement. I am so much more attuned to the body, learning to listen to it and at the same time controlling each movement, making it more precise and flowing,
It gives me a sense of ease and lightness coming off the mat.
Above all, Pilates makes me a very happy person in mind and body, and I want to continue and share this with my clients, learning more and more each day.
