Pilates focuses on the connection of your mind and body and adapts a reflective approach which is very much holistic.

​

Serena is a qualified Pilates Practitioner after taking part in a rigorous training programme with Elite Pilates in South Devon. She aims to provide group and 1:1 sessions that are accessible to all – whatever your starting point may be. Having studied the techniques of Joseph Pilates, the original founder of Pilates, she has a thorough understanding of how to modify and adapt exercises to suit all clients. The six main principles of Pilates: concentration, centring, control, breathing, precision and flow form the golden thread running through Serena’s sessions.

​

She firmly believes that Pilates is for everyone – from beginners to elite athletes. Having recovered from injury herself, she has first hand experience of how Pilates can have a positive effect on both physical and mental health.

​

Serena will encourage you to move mindfully and become aware of how you are thinking and feeling throughout the exercises. Pilates focuses on the connection of your mind and body and adapts a reflective approach which is very much holistic in nature. Where required, Serena may signpost you towards other health professionals (physiotherapists, personal trainers, therapists etc) if she feels this may benefit you.
