Philosophy

German-born boxer, personal trainer and circus performer, Joseph H. Pilates saw his system of movement as a way of life, and it underpins much of the modern Pilates method. The guiding philosophy behind the Pilates method is to exercise the entire body in concert.

Practice

Pilates can be done by people of all ages, shapes, and sizes, and at all life stages. It can also compliment and strengthen other forms of exercise. My approach honours and respects the original exercises and incorporates my own creative flair, energy and love of technical movement.

Future-Proofing

Pilates is the secret weapon to improving your health and well-being. Research shows that it’s one of the best forms of exercise for future-proofing your body, with benefits like improved balance, posture, co-ordination, circulation, mobility and strength.

"Pilates is an exercise and breathing regime that develops the body uniformly, corrects posture, restores vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit.”

~ Joseph Pilates

  • ‘’Kerry is truly amazing. I was not sure Pilates would be for me as I like high impact sports but now I am loving every minute of it. She has an eagle eye that does not miss anything! Totally hooked!’’

    ~ Laurence

  • ‘’I came to see Kerry as I felt that I had lost all sense of my core postpartum. Kerry helped me to reconnect with my body and realise what strength I still did have and knew exactly what I should work on’’
