A freak skiing accident led Posie to Pilates, and changed her life forever.
About
A strong belief in both the physical and psychological benefits of Pilates led Posie to train and qualify as a teacher with Body Control Pilates.
Having always been a fitness enthusiast, Posie started practising Pilates on a daily basis as a result of a skiing accident. After loosing all control on her third run of the day, Posie’s skiing trip did not turn out as planned, leaving her with debilitating back and knee pain.
Posie tried almost everything in order to help relieve her pain. She spent many an hour with physios and other pain specialists and eventually with the pain too much, she sadly had to say goodbye to her desk job. It wasn’t until the day she started Pilates that things started to improve. Within weeks she couldn’t believe the difference it made not only to her symptoms but her overall mental and physical wellbeing and has consequently never felt stronger, fitter and able to throw her hand at any sport!
Posie teaches group mat classes, corporate classes and private sessions. After a recent move up to North Yorkshire, she is very excited about the imminent opening of her own studio in North Yorkshire. Here she will be offering both 1:1 and Group sessions. Posie will also be spending some time in London (every fortnight) focusing particularly on private clients. Her classes are flowing, dynamic and energetic whilst always bearing in mind the rehabilitative aspect of Pilates for pain prevention.
Posie is absolutely passionate about the benefits of Pilates giving the perfect balance of toning, core strength and flexibility and truly believes she can help you to reach your goals.

What is Pilates?
Pilates is a series of low impact exercises aimed to strengthen the body in an even way, with particular emphasis on core strength to improve general fitness and wellbeing. It is designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, balance and posture whilst enhancing mental awareness. Pilates also helps with spine articulation and is a great discipline for rehabilitation and pain prevention.
Pilates is designed for everyone regardless of their age or fitness level. It literally teaches you to be in control of your body, allowing you to handle stress more effectively and achieve relaxation more easily. Your body awareness is heightened by bringing together mind and body, In the words of Joseph Pilates, the German physical trainer notable for having invented and promoted the Pilates method of physical fitness: ‘The mind, when housed with a healthy body, possesses a glorious sense of power’.
