ONLINE PILATES CLASSES

Learn to work with your body, not against it.

What began in the North East now streams live to living rooms around the world. Gillian brings four decades of movement, from competitive gymnast to rehabilitation specialist, to multi-level Pilates classes that meet every body exactly where they are.

With a choice of four online classes each week, they are expertly curated for strength, flexibility, and endurance, and finished, always, with a moment of stillness.  1-2-1 private sessions are also available where individual needs are taken care of, creating prescriptive programs. Gillian works closely with osteopaths and chiropractors when needed for a more accurate assessment, and a specific program can be created.

Pilates Classes

So many benefits for body and mind.

Pilates meets you wherever you are. A little each week changes how you move, how you stand, and how you feel.

1.

Strength & flexibility

Build deep, functional strength and mobility that carries into everyday life.

2.

Posture & spinal health

Improve alignment and spinal health — Gillian’s specialism, developed over decades of rehabilitation work.

3.

Stress relief & calmness

Reconnect with your breath, settle the nervous system, and finish with restorative relaxation.

4.

Knowing your body better

Understand your own anatomy and learn to work with your body, not against it.

Online Pilates Class

Every Pilates class is shaped to the people in front of us.

Gillian’s classes are multi-level, so you decide the level you work at. Whether you’re completely new or are fifteen years into your Pilates practice, everyone is welcome in the same class. Gillian incorporates a range of techniques with clinical modifications, so progression is always safe and always challenging in the right way.

Modifications are never an afterthought. The niggling lower back gets attention, the recent surgery is honoured. And because Gillian is an educator at heart, you’ll leave each session with tips, cues and a deeper understanding of how you move.

Each class is a functional mat-work program to improve your strength, mobility and posture.

For more than 40 years, Gillian has built her approach around the person in front of her. Modifications aren’t an afterthought, they’re simply part of how she teaches. Every experience is designed to help you move, breathe, and feel your best.

Simple, flexible pricing.
