About Penny

Hi, as a Pilates teacher & tutor, I have been fortunate enough to work with Olympic athletes, professional football & rugby players and stars of stage & screen. Guiding them to be able to perform at the highest level and at their very best. I love working with people. Helping them to achieve more with their bodies and feel better, both in their body and mind. That’s why I created this business and my Studio. I’d love the opportunity to work with you too.

It all started when…

I discovered Pilates after my back was injured. I found that Pilates not only gave me relief from back pain, but it also gave me a sense of wellbeing and calm. Even in stressful times. It literally created a safe space for me to tune in to my body to build the strength and flexibility I needed.

I was so passionate about the benefits of Pilates, that I decided to undergo the rigorous training required to qualify as a Body Control Pilates teacher. The reputation of BCP within the industry was for producing the highest quality of teaching & I wanted to get the best training I could.

I have gone on to study more and also become an Advanced Myofascial teacher with the FAMO training team. The work is based on the Anatomy trains developed by Tom Myers and is movement with a focus on fascia. Improving its quality and feeling the benefits within the body through movement. Plates and FAMO are scientifically supported with proven outcomes.

I remain passionate about Pilates & Fascia. And truly believe that it can be of benefit to literally any body. Regardless of their fitness level, age or gender.

For me, Pilates & our work together is about good functional movement that improves your body on a day to day basis.

So why not get in contact to see how I can be of benefit to you. I hope to see you in the Studio soon. P

  • What is fascia?

    Fascia is… “a bodywide connective tissue .. that houses, links …. and collaborates with all other internal systems, including nerves, muscles and bones.”

    Karin Gurtner, Fascia in Focus.

    Fascia focused movement is backed by science, but it is the experience of the movements and the improvements felt both personally in my body, my clients that are most impressive.

    By turning the attention to the Fascia, a spotlight has been turned on that heightens the awareness & creates such ease of movement that you never want to turn your it off again.
