I’m Emily, and I’ll be your teacher.

I’m a fully qualified and insured Stott Reformer Pilates instructor based in St Leonards on Sea, and I’m trained by Stott in Mat Pilates, too.

From my very first class, I was fully invested into everything it has to offer, not just physically, but mentally too.

I was never a sporty child. I am not an ex-dancer, gymnast, or athlete, I was the child who took every opportunity to skip PE in favour of spending time in the library. As a teen I spent a lot of time managing chronic fatigue syndrome.

It’s only now as an adult, that I’ve learnt how important moving the body is. I’ve learnt that it should never be taken for granted, and how much it can improve every aspect of life. I don’t do Pilates for a ‘Pilates Body’ (whatever that is), I do it to be able to live a long, mobile, and independent life for as long as I’m here.

I’ve had the honour of being trained by the very best in the industry and with recent memory of being a beginner, I can relate to feeling nervous to start. But I’m here and ready to welcome and cheer you on no matter if this is your first or 100th class.
