Pilates with Priya

At 6ft 4” tall I’ve suffered for years with a tight neck and shoulders as a result of poor posture and sitting at a desk. Priya has been fantastic, really making a difference and managing to remove a number of stubborn knots in my shoulders and back. She’s very knowledgeable and I highly recommend having a sports massage with her.

An excellent and professional class. Enthusiastic with exemplary technique— Priya corrects movements for you until they work best! Helped me with a pelvic floor prolapse until I no longer required surgery- thank you🙏

Been attending classes since starting antenatal classes in 2013, which was the first time I’d tried Pilates. All the different classes I’ve attended over the years have been great, always excellent teachers. I’ve attended on zoom since the start of the pandemic, which has worked well - the studio setup means we can be seen so we can be told when we need to correct something or be encouraged when we are doing something well, and can see the moves being demonstrated clearly. Mixed ability classes are great as there are different options given so I can pick the correct level depending on how challenging the move is and how my body is feeling that day.

I am very new to this exercise- and a slow learner that I have at my choice been having 1:1 sessions with Priya to address some issues that I have with my core- I cannot praise her enough for her patience and understanding. Priya is a fantastic teacher of Pilates- and tailors the sessions according to the client’s ability and needs. The classes are great value- and I don’t feel stupid or awkward as it’s only me in the class- much better than a group session!

Priya's pregnancy and post-natal classes have made a huge difference after both my babies, as a Mum of 2 small children my body feels strong including my pelvic floor! Given me tools to use my body well when picking up the children and making sure I look after myself, thank you Priya! 😊

The classes I attended have been great. As a Pilates beginner I’ve been joining Alex’s classes, and she is so attentive to everyone’s experience. She is really engaging with not only those who are in class in person but also with online students as well. So happy I started my Pilates journey with them! They have really good online community on Facebook as well. Highly recommend their classes.

Initially attended a 1:1 postnatal session for diastasis recti and found Priya's advice really helpful! Would recommend Priya as she's absolutely lovely, very knowledgeable and put me at ease as i was nervous how to tackle exercise to improve the gap, without making it worse. I subsequently joined her postnatal pilates group and have thoroughly enjoyed the weekly face to face classes in Priya's studio and am thrilled to have reduced my 4cm gap to 1cm whilst enjoying her guidance and support to exercise safely and achieve my goal. The online class options and Facebook groups for catch ups are really handy too. Thanks Priya

I’ve been having 1-1 sessions with Priya for the best part of a year and really feel the benefit of it. I’m a complete novice with regard to Pilates so really appreciate Priya’s input. During this year Priya has become a firm friend and we joke that on a weekly basis she tries to kill me with ever complex exercises. A busy schedule is also catered for which is vital for me. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything, Priya x

Before going for a C-section scar tissue massage with Priya I had no idea what to expect. Suffice to say I was really pleased with the consultation and how the massage helped to alleviate post-natal pains I'd been having in my hips and legs. The knots that had formed in the scar tissue were the cause of lack of mobility and unnecessary pain - amazing! Priya also took me through some exercises to help strengthen the pelvic floor which were extremely useful and she helped to correct posture too! Really happy with the whole experience.

I can't recommend this enough to all post partum ladies! Priya helped fix my broken post baby body and it didn't even feel like a chore. Priya is passionate about the pelvic floor and restoring core strength to regain function and ability to live well. This results in well structured classes where exercises develop as you do. explanations and demonstrations are clear and easy to follow even on zoom. The whole session has a great sense of balance - you get a whole body work out and over time work through specific areas more intensely. I was impressed by her ability to make me feel like I was in the room with her despite being on zoom and got helpful and insightful feedback.

Thank you for the pregnancy Pilates classes. They were a real highlight of being pregnant during a pandemic. It was really important to me to practice Pilates during pregnancy due to previously aggravating my back. This class really helped to strengthen my back. In what turned out to be a long & tricky labour & initial recovery it was the breathing techniques & positions on the ball that i had learnt from Priya that I could draw on when I needed it most (even more so than what I learnt through hypnobirthing). I can’t thank Priya enough & I really look forward to the postnatal classes soon. I’d recommend this class to any pregnant lady, the pace of the class is perfect, the price is very reasonable & you are learning lots of important techniques that will serve you well.

Priya offers a very thorough sports massage service. She takes time to really listen and then comes up with a plan that considers your body as a whole. She has helped me move with ease over the past few months. Thoroughly recommend!
