City of London Pilates

St Bride Foundation, 14 Bride Lane, EC4Y 8EQ (nr Fleet St)

My association with St Bride's goes back over 12 years. City Pilates was run by my then Pilates teacher (I attended her classes here). When I qualified, she invited me to teach for her. She passed the baton of City Pilates to me a decade ago and I'm delighted that several clients from those early City Pilates days are still loyally and regularly attending!

Counteract the desk slouch & slump

Lunchtime classes give your body and eyes a much needed break from your computer. Clients often say they don't experience that dreaded mid-afternoon slump some of their colleagues do. You'll return to your desk feeling taller, with improved posture and less neck and back strain. Plus, you'll have given your upper body, eyes and arms a much needed rest from repetitive keyboard work.

PILATES AT HOME

is also being offered on a Monday evening as a make up class or for those who are still working from home.

It means you can enjoy your Pilates classes from the comfort of your own home. These classes have been running successfully online for over two years now. Clients have said how beneficial it is to continue doing their Pilates whilst working at home, during this time of transition of hybrid working.

BOOK YOUR PLACE FOR SUMMER 2022!

If you would like to join my classes to stay healthy, please either email me at thecentredbody@hotmail.co.uk or ring 07952 921 636 saying which class you would like to book for. If there is a space, I will email you an enrolment form with the booking details. Once I've received your form and fees, your place will be confirmed.

I don't offer drop-ins but with my Monday and Tuesday classes, I run a swap-in system. If you miss a class within your block, you can attend an alternative class within the same block to make up, providing there is space.

Classes are 1 hour long but if you need to leave early to return to work, that is fine. Mats & equipment are provided free of charge at the venue. For online classes you will need either a mat or a big bath towel and a set of hand weights (although 2 tins or filled water bottles make excellent substitutes!).

INJURIES

I always aim to accommodate clients who may need to take more care when exercising. However, injuries should ideally be 'old and cold'. If you are returning to exercise after injury or have any issues that may make exercising more challenging for you, please get in touch with me in confidence, to see if these classes would be suitable for you.

Just wanted to take this chance to say a big thank you again for your classes. You were always very thoughtful of what I could do for my back and constantly made everything easy to follow and fun.
