BIG CHANGES HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS

CLASSES
I am currently on sabbatical leave from teaching​.


​


Since starting teaching in 2006  and after  many years of teaching Pilates and working with amazing clients and groups I have decided to take sabbatical leave albeit with occasional sessions with clients just to keep my hand in.

I have recently become more and more involved in local community groups , campaigning for clean air,  and better cycling and walking infrastructure as well as Climate Change campaigning and activism and I feel at this point in my life these are the only things I can direct my efforts toward.
​
My motivation for this is the climate emergency we are in and a desire to try and raise awareness and protect some kind of future for my children. 
​I want to say a massive thank you to all my clients who have been so understanding. Your  wonderful messages of support and kindness have enabled me to feel brave enough to embark on this surreal part of my life !

ONE TO ONES

Jo very much considers the individual in her teaching whether they are an office worker with back pain, a runner or cyclist, someone rehabilitating after surgery or injury or a highly conditioned person such as the Cirque du Soleil performers helping them realign, heal and rebalance during the rigours of their  Manchester shows in October 2016.

The 1:2:1 studio sessions and small studio equipment classes are tailored specifically to your needs

RECOMMENDATIONS

"Jo is an amazing Pilates instructor! After seeing a few different instructors, my GP referred me to Jo. I'd had lower back pain for a few years and it was worsening with no proper diagnosis. After a few months of lessons, Jo was able to spot the problems in my back, and sent me back to the GP for further investigation.  After physio and other treatments, I was sent for an MRI scan. When I finally saw a specialist, he confirmed everything Jo had been saying for a year. Jo had picked up on all of the problems in my back,  just from observing me in the lessons.  The lessons with Jo are so personal.  She makes sure everybody is fully able and comfortable to do each exercise and will tailor alternatives as needed. Thanks to Jo's lessons I now have a better understanding of how my body works and reacts in everyday life. This has helped me to better manage my life according to my spinal issues. I honestly wouldn't know how I would have managed with my back pain without Jo and her amazing lessons."

"I have been practising Pilates with Jo for a number of years and it has brought huge benefits to my life.

Jo is a fantastic teacher, whether it's your first experience of Pilates, or you have been coming for decades, she tailors her teaching to suit all levels and supports you to develop. Her teaching style is very relaxed and she explains the techniques in a very clear and visual way."

PILATES

Pilates helps to retrain your mind and body enabling your back,stomach and pelvic floor muscles to work together to support your spine. We focus on alignment and precision in our movements helping joints to function more freely. 

​Jo encourages a felt sense of your body and its movement asking you to be more mindful which encourages a deeper connection and enables better muscle recruitment patterns and more balance in your body. 

Jo's teaching style and use of breathing, flow, awareness of the body and concentration means that the classes have a relaxing,  meditative quality.

All of this means Pilates gives you improved posture, a lengthened, toned body, a feeling of relaxation , free from back pain, neck and shoulder tension.
