"I started Pilates with Clara due to lower back pain. Through the sessions the back pain has fully relieved, and my body has become stronger, and more flexible thanks to her thorough understanding of anatomy and movement. She tailors each session to my needs on a particular day. I enjoy the classes and highly recommend Clara for her skill, patience and warmth" C C
"Clara is such a wonderful teacher. Pilates made personal is the perfect way to describe her approach, which is tailored to the person or people she is teaching, with fantastic attention to detail and care to ensure everyone gets the most from her expertise and experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and gives brilliant instructions and assists to ensure you get the most from your time with her. I come out always feels so much better than when I walked in!"

Clara's 1-1 Pilates is magic for the mind, body and soul
"Clara's 1-1 Pilates sessions are absolutely fantastic - she brings a great blend of precision, tailoring the session to your needs, and making sure you have everything you need to help your body evolve or recover from where it is. She is brilliant to work with and every session is a joy even when I am being challenged!" Sarah Howard-Coles
“Clara is an exceptionally skilled and versatile Pilates instructor. This was put to the test a year ago when I had a full hip replacement. As soon as I was able, I wanted to return to Pilates and Clara made time to provide one-to-one instruction for me. During the first few weeks, I had to be particularly careful, and she was patient and attentive throughout. Clara carefully adapted each session to my changing abilities, selecting exercises that helped me regain movement without placing unnecessary strain on my recovering hip. At the same time, she helped me maintain flexibility and strength in my other limbs so that I could continue working towards my usual fitness levels.
Each week, Clara created tailored exercises and movements based on my progress. I practised them between sessions, and we gradually increased the level of challenge as my recovery continued. My general fitness returned within a relatively short time and this was proved when my consultant said he was exceptionally pleased with my progress. Clara’s guidance and encouragement played an important part in my recovery and I am truly grateful for her support.” Liz McGivern
