Testimonial

“After suffering with painful scoliosis for many years, Bridget provided me with effective relief, in a fun and relaxing way” – Dani B

Bridget

Owner & Teacher

I first came across Pilates after being referred to a studio by a Physio for a recurring knee ligament problem after several years of ski holidays. The science and logic behind the exercises resonated with me immediately and were borne out by the rapid results that have meant no more knee issues whilst skiing.
I trained as a teacher in 2002 with Stott Pilates in Canada and then became a fully Comprehensive Member of the Pilates Foundation in 2003. I am passionate about movement being key for all bodies, regardless of age or ability. I take professional development very seriously and am continually expanding my knowledge, particularly in areas of rehabilitation from injury and recovery post surgery. My vision for Simply Pilates is to pass on that knowledge not only to our clients, but also to our pool of excellent teachers.

Charlotte

Pilates Teacher

I first fell in love with movement as a young dancer, I continued my dance education through school and university until I was forced to stop due to an injury. It was then that I discovered Pilates. Since qualifying as a pilates instructor in 2015 I have studied and worked with some inspiring educators including Alan Herdman, Madeline Black, Eric Franklin of The Franklin Method® and more recently Gary Ward of Anatomy in Motion®. I am fully qualified in all aspects of equipment and mat Pilates as well as being an Advanced Franklin Method educator. Learning from these masters has fuelled my passion for discovering the potential of human movement.

Jess

Pilates Teacher

Jess has been active from a young age, she participated in a variety of sports which encouraged her passion for movement, but it wasn’t until she started Pilates that she learnt and understood how to move her body.  Jess has found that Pilates restores her body and mind, rebalances and aligns her. As a tall person living in world designed for those a little shorter, she finds that Pilates is a helpful way to train her body to deal with everyday life.

When Jess is not on her mat she works with children with autism, as part of her role she works on improving body awareness, co- ordination and functional movement. Jess finds the two roles complement each other and believes in the holistic approach of mind/body integration associated with Pilates is instrumental in empowering clients to better understand their own bodies.
