Tilly
Tilly has been practicing Pilates for over 3 years now, having previously worked as a dental nurse where long hours and challenging positions led to poor posture and discomfort. Discovering Pilates not only improved Tilly's alignment, but also helped her to feel stronger and more balanced, which inspired her to re-train so she could share the benefits with others.
Expect dynamic, flowing classes from Tilly. Her sessions are built around breath, alignment and control; allowing you to move with precision and leave the studio feeling stronger, rebalanced, and quietly reconnected - both physically and mentally.
