Absolute Yoga and Pilates

This was my 3rd course with Pauline at Inspired Health and Fitness and was as brilliant as the first 2 (although way more challenging). Her teaching style accommodates all abilities and levels, never letting anyone feel excluded if they are unable to do the full move. It is truly remarkable the progress I have made since attending the Introduction to Pilates and never thought I would ever be able to do some of the things I can now do! I feel stronger and most important of all is that most of my back issues have not reared their head again since starting Pilates. So a very big thank you to Pauline! Can’t wait for September classes to start.

Having only ever done mat and reformer Pilates I was really keen to try this and it lived up my expectations! The class is ballet based and is fine for someone who has never tried ballet before (like me!). It's not a relaxing class by any means, you're constantly having to use your core muscles and you'll sweat! Each class was slightly different and I think Adriana is a great teacher.

I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant and started attending the Saturday morning sessions with Pauline about 2 months ago. I've absolutely loved the classes and really appreciate how Pauline runs through all the asanas before each class to remind me of the pregnancy modifications. It means the class is able to flow at a normal pace without me feeling I'm slowing everyone else down. I'm looking forward to joining her more intense classes once the baby arrives and I'm able to be a more energetic and flexible!

I've just started my second year of pilates classes with Pauline and Wendy. Pilates really works in making you feel fitter, stronger and more flexible. My neck and shoulder pains have disappeared and my posture has really improved. I never dreamed that I could roll like a ball! Pauline and Wendy are fabulous teachers, allowing you to progress at your own pace. I highly recommend their classes. I am now starting to do some yoga too .. it gets addictive, especially when you drop a dress size!

Cannot recommend Absolute Yoga and Pilates enough - thanks to my lovely teacher Charlotte for adapting every lesson plan to fit my pregnancy. It is so nice to be have been able to continue yoga practice during pregnancy and you guys have made this possible.
The Thursday evening sessions flow so well and is the best class I have been to. I love that there is a new focus every week and connects you to your inner self, along with having a good workout. Everything is thought of, from the music to the relaxing scents of the room.
Great communication and easy to book.
Can't wait to get back to face to face sessions.

I have really enjoyed the Monday yoga classes with Pauline! Perfect for beginners to Yoga, very relaxing but also moving and stretching the body. I look forward to continuing classes :)

I have been attending Wendy's Tuesday evening Pilates Class for a few months now and I can honestly say that I have felt huge benefits to my physical flexibility and strength as well as a great sense of well being. Wendy is a great teacher and paces the sessions accordingly giving variations for all abilities. I particularly appreciate the fact that the class is not pretentious at all and that I feel very comfortable.
Thanks you.

I recently attended the Super Saturday wellbeing day with Absolute Yoga and Pilates. The day included a Pilates class with Pauline, a Barre class with Adriana, and a Quartz Crystal singing bowl sound healing experience with Adriana.
Firstly was Paulines Pilates class. This class was a FANTASTIC focus on my core, and really set the tone for the day of getting in tune with your body and how it moves. Pauline explains everything thoroughly and always gives options for different abilities, so you never feel pressured to go above what is right for you!
Secondly was the Barre Pilates class. Anyone who has a class with Adriana experiences her infectious energy. She encourages everyone with her smile and really helps you get through the burn that you will feel with this class!
Lastly was the Singing bowls. Just wow. The sound experience was all-encompassing. Adriana started with some gentle Yoga poses whilst introducing the sounds of the bowls. The flow was gentle and allowed you to focus on the sound body experience. You then moved to the floor to allow yourself to relax and fully embrace the power that these bowls can make. The sound completely takes over your senses and makes you feel like you could be floating through the air. It allows your head to calm and purely focus on the sounds around you. I struggle with focus and often find my mind wandering, but in this class you couldn't help but solely focus on the sound surrounding you. It was an experience that I think all agreed felt transcendent!
The whole day had a wonderful flow and left me feeling elevated, cleansed and ready for whatever was to come my way. It is safe to say that the Yoga and Pilates team have immense knowledge and passion for what they do - I genuinley couldn't recommend them enough!
