Matwork Classes
Small-group matwork classes accommodate all levels from beginners to advanced practitioners. Sessions focus on core strength, posture improvement, and controlled movements using body weight and small equipment. Classes maintain a maximum of 8 participants to ensure individual attention while following structured progressions.
Private Sessions
Personalised private sessions utilise Pilates equipment including Reformer, Cadillac, and Chair alongside matwork. Tailored programmes address specific rehabilitation needs, post-natal recovery, or advanced training goals. Sessions incorporate individual biomechanics assessments and customised exercise plans for optimal results.

Live online classes via Zoom provide flexible access to Pilates instruction from home. Sessions maintain interactive elements with real-time feedback and modifications for home environments.

Sarah is very lovely and friendly. I attended one of her retreats and it was very well organised, great location, very good communication and very responsive to messages. The day was amazing, she is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease during the classes. 10/10 👌

Sarah is a great Pilates teacher! She looks after each person in the group sessions as an individual, taking time to understand our needs and adjusting us to ensure we are safe and get the most out of the classes. She has a warmth and welcome. She has truly helped me to find my belly button again! Thank you from Paula Jones

Sarah is an excellent Pilates teacher and I have really enjoyed every session. I have learnt a great deal thanks to Sarahs brilliant explanations of what we are doing and why. She has the gift of great clarity as well as an abundance of patience, especially with those of us who dont always know our left from our right! The benefits of Pilates are many - my core strength is improving all the time which in turn means that i have been able to reduce the pain in my lower back and in my shoulders. I row regularly on the river and have noticed a definite improvement in the way that I can power

Sarah's classes are relaxing, enjoyable but get you working. She's great at explaining things and makes sure that if you have any ailments the exercises either help or are carefully worked around. Pilates has helped my posture and my problems with sciatica.
