Beginners to Advanced Pilates Classes
Do you look fit? Do you feel fit? Achieving a toned, youthful figure and keeping it doesn’t have to be a fantasy.
Pilates is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. The exercises develop the whole body, correcting poor posture, alleviating backache, and other muscular-skeletal problems.
You will also feel invigorated and more alive.
Mat work
There are usually up to 12 people in a mat work class. Only small equipment such as balls, bands and circles are sometimes used in these classes.
Studio Sessions
I am qualified to teach reformer work and Wunda chair as well as the previously stated equipment.
One to One Lessons
I teach several one to one’s during my working week. Booking well in advance for these is highly recommended since these classes are in high demand and slots go quickly.
Induction Classes for Beginners
These are small groups of up to 4 people. The class lasts for an hour and a half. Here you will learn the principles of Pilates and some basic exercises.
Seventeen years ago I had never heard of Pilates. Three successive pregnancies had led to a chronic back problem. Medical intervention gave only temporary relief. It was Pilates that solved my problem for good.
Inspired by this, I trained to become a teacher with Body Control Pilates (a world recognised organisation whose training is thorough and demanding). I have now been a Pilates teacher for 15 years and remain passionate about its benefits.
I have been a supervising teacher for Body Control. Many Pilates teachers in Guildford and surrounding areas have been taught and guided through their training by me.
My abilities were enhanced by teaching and training in New York and Paris. I have been on BBC Breakfast and the radio discussing Pilates and appeared in national newspapers and magazines.
I have been attending Jill’s Pilates class for eight or more years. She never fails to inspire us with her precise instructions and in depth knowledge of what is required in each and every exercise. She gives various alternatives to suit our different levels of fitness and is meticulous in advising on how to avoid injury. She is inspirational and truly the best Pilates teacher I have ever had.
I have been attending Jill’s classes now for seven years. I have only ever had three excellent teachers spanning 30 years plus and Jill is one of them. I want an exercise routine and teachers who will keep my body strong and supple as age increases. Have found both.
