Group Pilates class with women of various ages practicing the Pilates Bridge exercise

Group Pilates Classes

My goal is to help you move more freely and effortlessly in everyday life, enhancing your joint mobility and overall movement quality. Through precise movements, we “oil” the joints, developing both strength and flexibility in a balanced and functional way.

With a particular focus on breathing and alignment, you'll learn how to build core strength effectively without compromising pelvic floor function. Classes also provide dedicated time to focus on your body and movement, helping you relax and switch off from day-to-day life.

Each class includes a variety of exercises—in standing, seated, kneeling, and lying positions—using small equipment or simply your own body weight.

I offer personalised cues, instructions, and modifications to suit your individual needs and goals.

Our timetable includes a variety of classes at different levels so there is something for everyone.

FAQs

Progress through precision

The Pilates method allows us to focus on detailed movements at specific joints so we can adjust each exercise to be safe and beneficial for those of you with, for example, osteoarthritis, hip or knee replacements etc.

This focus on precision and technique also allows us to maximise the effectiveness of every single movement, getting more 'bang for your buck' from each exercise, gradually increasing the challenge when you are ready, while identifying and correcting any compensations or imbalances that could slow your progress.

"I have been going to Karen’s classes weekly for about two years & highly recommend them to anyone struggling with core issues post pregnancy & birth. I had been advised to stop running & not engage in any high impact exercise in the long term which was a huge loss for me. Karen was careful to understand what my needs were before I started the classes & adapted the exercises so that they were suitable for me.

We took a slow & steady approach which allowed me as time went on to take up other forms of exercise to support my recovery. I was delighted to unexpectedly be told in an assessment with a physio a few months ago that my issues had completely resolved & to be given the all clear to start running again."
