- ✔ Learn the fundamental Pilates principles and techniques.
- ✔ Receive personalised guidance to help you move safely and confidently.
- ✔ Gain a better understanding of your posture, breathing and movement.
- ✔ Have the opportunity to ask questions in a relaxed, one-to-one environment.

A Warm Welcome
Watch the short video below to see how your Pilates journey begins.
After Your Assessment
At the end of your Beginner Pilates Assessment, I'll recommend the class that I feel is the most suitable for your experience, ability and individual needs. Whilst I always aim to place you in the best class for you, this will also depend on current availability and the class times that fit your schedule.
Once you've joined a class, you'll follow a weekly course alongside the same friendly group, allowing you to progress at your own pace while enjoying the many benefits of Pilates in a supportive and welcoming environment
You can find out more about my small group classes and flexible Class Swap system here.
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Layers are ideal, as you may warm up as you exercise or cool down during relaxation. Close-fitting clothing is helpful so I can clearly see your movement and correct your technique where needed.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING
All small equipment is provided at the studio. However, I do ask all clients to bring:
- A Pilates mat (10mm thick is ideal) for hygiene reasons. If you're unsure which mat to buy, just ask – I'm happy to recommend one.
- A bottle of water.

Testimonials
Absolutely outstanding Pilates instructor. I won’t go to anyone else!
G Temple
As an Osteopath, I frequently see patients who have been in pain and recovered and would benefit from high quality Pilates instruction with an instructor who understands how to tailor their exercises to their needs. Julie is a thorough and knowledgeable Pilates instructor, who goes above and beyond industry requirements in training and continuous education to provide the very best for her participants. I would recommend anyone thinking of trying Pilates to contact Julie to see how she may be able to help them.
Susie Burgess - Osteopath
Julie is the most wonderful teacher of Pilates.
She is so patient with me ,a total novice at this and at 69 years old certainly not the fittest and most flexible student !! She encourages me enormously and I feel so much better after just four of her classes I would recommend her to anyone who feels that it is never too late to improve your health and wellbeing.
L Richardson
There's never a feeling of "one size fits all" in Julie's group classes. Not only does Julie quickly learn and remember everyone's name she knows all our individual bodies to the tiniest detail, what we need to work on, how we might cheat(!), when we could push ourselves a little harder but also when we need to adapt or just be kind to ourselves. And if that isn't enough it's always worth coming to class for Julie's extraordinary imagery: dipping toes into puddles, wearing tiaras, manoeuvring arms into and out of tight sleeping bags (??)........ I could go on!!......but they're fun and they work!! Bottom line: I always feel better going out than coming into class. I have been attending Julie's classes for the last 5 years!
Annabel Edwards
I’ve always enjoyed Pilates and had numerous teachers over the year. Julie, however, is by far the best. Her passion is infectious and her desire to understand how the body works impressive. My respect for her abilities and knowledge has grown tenfold in the past 8 weeks. I started suffering with severe back and leg pain around February. Following an MRI and diagnosis of a slipped disc I was signed off work and unable to move, much less exercise. Julie encouraged me to come for some sessions and gave me some simple exercises after assessing me. I followed them and was able to join the gentle class after three weeks. I’m now back in my regular class where Julie successfully adapts every exercise for every client in her class. I have no idea how she remembers everybody's individual needs but she does. She is an absolute professional and always striving to learn more and more. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone who wants to improve their posture and strengthen their core.
Nicola Elliott
Julie is a fantastic Pilates instructor who clearly is passionate about what she does. She brings a wealth of knowledge to every session and takes the time to understand her clients, adapting exercises to suit our individual needs and limitations. She also runs regular workshops that focus on specific areas, which are always enjoyable and highly beneficial. I would go to them all if I could!
C Thompson
Julie's expertise at today's Bodyrolling Workshop is second to none. She comes highly recommended.
Every client is treated as an individual and the exercises tailored to suit.
Relaxing atmosphere in the purpose built studio. Thank you, looking forward to the next one!
H Smith
Julie is an exceptional person and pilates teacher. The variety of classes and the thoroughness of her attention throughout the session, checking on your form and ensuring you are getting the benefit of every movement is incredible. We started with Julie on a couple of 121s, knowing nothing about it and due to us both having injuries. Julie adapts exercises for us and we have grown in confidence and strength. Thank Julie, you are a star!
W Copper
Julie has helped me to stay mobile for many years now. When I was first referred to her I had prolapsed discs and she was very professional in helping me without allowing me to undertake any movements that could cause further damage.
Julie is able to tailor the the classes to suit many abilities and fitness levels. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
