About the Founder 

Hi, I’m Maddie. Movement has been a part of my life from an early age. I began dancing at three and later trained professionally in Dance and Musical Theatre, graduating from Bird College with First Class Honours. Alongside my dance training, I discovered Pilates at age 11, and it quickly became the perfect complement - helping me build strength, control, and a deeper understanding of my body. Since then, I’ve gone on to gain my mat and reformer Pilates certifications with HFE, as well as teaching experience across both dance and Pilates. I love how the two disciplines complement one another: dance brings artistry and expression, while Pilates offers alignment, awareness, and strength. As an instructor, my focus is on helping people feel confident, strong, and connected in their bodies. I aim to create classes that are supportive, challenging, and enjoyable, where technique and wellbeing go hand in hand.

In and amongst many sports and fitness activities, Pilates increasingly become my go-to practice to remediate the mild scoliosis in my spine. I fell in love with the method and principles and trained to become an instructor in 2015 so I could help others discover the benefits of mindful movement. I tailor my classes to the participants needs and always offer adjustments, modifications, adaptations and progressions or regressions as appropriate.  When asked ‘why practice Pilates?’ I say it creates a strong foundation for all physical activity and makes you better at everything you do in day to day life (even the ironing!). I help to address ineffective movement patterns, reduce imbalances and poor posture by teaching you how to create stability in your spine, shoulders and pelvis using controlled, flowing movement originating from the centre of the body with a focus on breathing, alignment, and precision. I am certified in a range of pilates-based disciplines with qualifications gained at accredited training schools, in pilates mat work, reformer pilates, exercise for pre and post-natal clients, older adults, and corrective exercise. I also tutor instructors through their L3 pilates mat work NVQ and provide training for reformer group classes. In my personal time I enjoy the challenge of strength and resistance training which balances well with pilates.

Hi I’m Zoe. Pilates, sport and how the body moves and works has always been my passion. I started Pilates over ten years ago due to occasional back pain but also to support my own training, keeping a strong core and body. I soon fell in love and qualified myself in mat work Pilates, then went onto do my reformer training with Stott Pilates. Alongside Pilates I am a Sports massage therapist, also qualified in medical acupuncture, dry needling, dry cupping and advanced acupuncture for women’s health. You will find me on the reformer, training for my next Hybrid competition or walking my two naughty sausage dogs.
