What people say
Steve, Pangbourne UK
We have been using Sophie for one to one Pilates classes for over 5 years now, which should speak volumes for her. She is professional, diligent, punctual and attentive.
Even now, after all this time, she still corrects the smallest of things and is still bringing in new exercises to help us improve.
The thing we particularly like is her ability to be flexible and tailor our weekly lessons to the needs of our bodies.
It’s been a great investment and our posture and core strength have improved enormously.”
Ruhi – Caversham UK
“Not only am I pain-free, but I’m stronger and nimbler than before, so much so that I’ve just booked surfing lessons.
After being in pain for years and being informed by an Orthopaedic Consultant that I had the spine of a 70-year-old, I knew I had to do something but surgery was not an option. Reluctantly and with a healthy dose of cynicism, I started experimenting with a combination of chiropractic alignment, myofascial massage and pilates with Sophie once a week. I didn’t think it would work, but work it did.
Pilates with Sophie is different from other classes because it doesn’t feel like you’re “doing” much and the movements you practice are very, very precise.
I found it was a game changer for my body; not only am I pain-free, but I’m stronger and nimbler than before, so much so that I’ve just booked some surfing lessons. This is one of the best investments in my health I have made and if Pilates with Sophie could be given as a pill, all doctors would be prescribing it. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
Rachel, Reading UK
“I had such a bad back when I first met Sophie, she tailored every class to my specific needs.
I can’t recommend Sophie highly enough as a Pilates teacher – I’m still enjoying classes with her after many years as she always has something new to teach or demonstrate.
I have had one to one classes which were perfect for me to start Pilates with and as I had such a bad back when I first met Sophie, she tailored every class to my specific needs.
I have enjoyed in-person group classes and currently have Zoom classes as I travel which means I can check in from anywhere – and also any time as they are recorded.
Sophie is a patient and kind teacher who I also send my own clients to.”
Louise, Oxfordshire UK
“It has made a huge difference to my core and all round body strength. I have felt amazing this summer!
I started Sophie’s classes two years ago to help improve my back pain. It’s working!
It has made a huge difference to my core and all round body strength. I have felt amazing this summer! Sophie makes my Pilates sessions incredibly rewarding.
I have had 1:1 sessions and attended Sophie’s weekly classes, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Throughout the pandemic I did her Zoom classes and videos which were and still are very easy to follow, especially when listening to Sophie’s calming voice!”
