Who I am
It’s Sarah here, from Creative-Wellbeing.
Thank you for stopping by to read a little bit about me.
Firstly, I love my job. I love helping people to realise that they can start to move and bend and balance in ways that they had really given up on.
For me, teaching Pilates is the perfect platform. I get to be a bit creative and move about lots. I can be a bit obsessive and geeky about anatomy and our incredible bodies. Teaching means I have the opportunity to spend loads of time with wonderful people, like you, who benefit from my knowledge and instruction.
So what do we do, and what makes the way the I do things a bit different? If we’re in person then class numbers are small, around 6 people, so you will not be left floundering at the back, wondering if you’re doing it right. I’ll be there to help and guide you all the way so you get the most out of your sessions. With many years of experience, specialist qualifications and additional training, I am able to safely modify movement for you if have injuries, long-term health conditions or specific needs. Most of what we do relates to everyday life to make your day-to-day living better and easier. Exercise should be fun and functional.
If we’re online together then expect to feel like you’re in a real class. I’ll guide you, demonstrate, give you some top tips on how to make exercises work for your body and talk to you as though we’re in the same room.
Pilates is a mode of exercise that is incredibly adaptable and versatile. We might do some standing work, including improving your balance, and then maybe some kneeling (if you are able) and a bit of lying down. I make sure that you have worked from your top to your toes, including really important factors like your breath, your feet and your backs and shoulders. Pilates is like WD40 for your body. Stick with it and you’ll feel amazing.
And now for the important but boring bit.
I have a level 3 diploma in teaching Pilates along with specialist qualifications in Spinal conditions, Pelvic Dysfunction, Scoliosis, Antenatal exercise, post-natal exercise, shoulder dysfunction, Breast Cancer – post surgery exercise and Pilates apparatus and additional training in barre, foot and leg function, osteoporosis and small apparatus.
Hope to see you in a course, class or workshop very soon!
