My Pilates

The philosophy of Pilates is to strengthen you from the inside out. By using your own body weight, gravity and light resistance you strengthen the deep muscles that support and stabilise the joints for safe movement to occur. Pilates is a thinking person's workout, the more aware you are of your body, the better the workout.

I wouldn't have practised Pilates for 13 years (and counting) if it weren't for Natalie, and I certainly wouldn't have trusted anyone else to direct me during, and following, both of my pregnancies.Natalie has been invaluable in helping me to overcome a long-term lower back injury. By designing a personal program using the machines and equipment at the My Pilates studio, Natalie has enabled me to improve my core strength and flexibility.
