​After recovering from a broken and dislocated collarbone at the start of the pandemic, Jen found that her normal movement routine no longer supported her body. Jen rediscovered her joy for Pilates; kind movement that protected her body post injury but still challenged her and built some serious strength. Jen wanted to share the amazing benefits with others, so trained and qualified in 2022, left her full time office role and hasn’t looked back since. Jen is an upbeat and positive person, and you’ll experience this energy in her classes! Jen is also pre and post-natal qualified.

Charlotte recently left the corporate world behind, to fully embrace her role as a Pilates and Yoga Teacher.
Her classes are designed to challenge, strengthen and uplift you, whilst having a wonderful (perhaps sometimes shaky) time in the process.

Charlotte is pre and postnatal qualified and will soon be teaching in our reformer studio also.

In her spare time she loves to be outdoors (ideally by the sea - true Aquarian), or hiking with her dog, gardening, kayaking, and simply enjoying the beauty that nature has to offer.

You'll leave Charlotte's classes feeling stronger, more aligned, and Zen.

Amy is passionate about helping people feel and move better. She believes Pilates is the secret to keeping injury and pain free and everyone should do it!
