I first began teaching Pilates in London 10 years ago. After falling in love with Pilates following a persistent neck injury, I experienced firsthand the benefits it can bring and decided to train in the method.

Eight years ago, I moved back to the island. I set up Isle of Wight Pilates with one clear goal…. to make Reformer Pilates accessible to everyone here. 

What started with teaching 1-2-1 Reformer Pilates & group mat classes soon grew. I opened the island’s first dedicated group Reformer Pilates studio in Cowes in 2023, and from there, the community has continued to flourish.

Today, we have a full timetable of classes and an amazing team of teachers offering Reformer Pilates, mat Pilates, and yoga. It’s been incredible to watch so many people discover just how powerful (and enjoyable!) Pilates can be.

Last year, I launched Isle of Wight Pilates Teacher Training after becoming an approved YMCA Awards centre. We now offer diploma programmes in both mat and Reformer Pilates in Cowes, giving islanders the chance to train locally, in person, and build confidence in a supportive, welcoming environment.

Now I hope to expand to the west side of the island, making it even easier for our community to join us, bringing our signature classes to a new studio in Freshwater. 

Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned pro, we can’t wait to welcome you into our studios and be part of your Pilates journey.
