Please also feel free to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated during the class.

Louise Samuels is a Charted Physiotherapist and certified APPI Pilates Instructor who is trained in exercise rehabilitation including Ante and Post Natal Pilates.

She will use her skills and knowledge to design and teach an effective and safe class. The exercises will be explained and demonstrated and she may correct your technique as required during the class.

Ideally please try to attend every class as the class becomes progressively more challenging each week.

Not everyone progresses at the same speed therefore it is important that you work at your own comfortable level.

If for any reason you can’t attend a class please let the Physiotherapist know and the class plan can be emailed out upon request to catch up at home.

You can book onto another block of classes as each block will vary.

You will be offered to rebook for the next block and it is required to be paid by the final week of your current block to secure your place before any available spaces will be released to non class members. It is recommended that you continue to practice the Pilates exercises at home and use the principles and cues learnt into every day life.

Yes you are welcome to bring your baby along to the classes in their car seat or place them out to lay on the soft flooring (please bring your own mat/blanket).

A selection of toys will be available but they are to be used at your own risk as you are responsible for the safety of your baby throughout the class. 

The venue is up a flight of stairs and not accessible with a pram so please bring your baby in their car seat or a sling.
