All Abilities Pilates

I have attended Pilates classes with Shona for years, which is a testament to her as I never stick at anything!! Shona is absolutely committed to Pilates and spends most of the lesson walking around, making sure that positions are correctly held and explaining those exercises and benefits. Her lesson plans are varied each week and involve a manner of availability props - rollers, bands etc. and the abilities are mixed, from complete beginners through to those more experienced. She will always offer assistance and alternative exercises to those struggling with injuries. However the reason I go to Pilates is because of Shona - she is a wonderful and caring teacher, with a wicked sense of humour, and absolutely dedicated to her classes.

Shona is amazing and really helps you work to your full potential.She recognises your weaknesses but also your strengths.I joined at the beginning of 2023 and I love it.It’s not only good for you physically but mentally too.

Shona works so hard to make each and every lesson unique with an attention to detail that is second to none. She cares about each and everyone of her students. There is always an exercise for any student irrespective of an health condition as Shona is extremely well trained and experienced in how the body works. I am lucky to have found her.

Shona is an absolutely brilliant teacher. No class is ever the same & she really makes them interesting & challenging. Not only this but she cares about each individual student & if necessary adapts the exercises to suit their needs. Every class is fun & the class members are really welcoming. Couldn’t ask for better.

I love Shona’s classes. I usually run away from any form of group exercise and initially went along with a friend thinking I wouldn’t stick at it - a year later and I wouldn’t give it up.Shona has a wicked sense of humour, is so down to earth and creates a really safe space for everyone to work hard and have fun.

My friend and myself started this class in February, this year.I have not done Pilates before, Shona is a brilliant teacher and I would highly recommend her classes.I am really enjoying Pilates and wish I had done it before.All the class made us very welcome and they are a lovely bunch of people.Thank you everyone.

This is a great studio and Shona is a fantastic teacher.I feel so much fitter and more supple after just a couple of months and my posture is already improving.All the exercises are explained really clearly and Shona is particularly attentive to any injuries or issues you may have, tailoring the individual excersize accordingly.I would highly recommend these classes and always leave smiling as well as with feeling I have a more lengthened spine!

Pilates with Shona has changed my life! I am stronger, more flexible, and pain free. Back pain is a thing of the past. Shona is dynamic, understanding, kind and incredibly skilled. Her ability to make every class interesting, different and challenging whilst meeting the needs of a diverse bunch of students is second to none. It is my weekly retreat and restoration.

Shona is a brilliant, experienced and knowledgeable teacher with a great sense of humour. Classes are always fun and different every week and Shona encourages us to stretch ourselves to our individual limits, checking each of us constantly throughout the class that we’re doing everything correctly. Exercises are always adjusted for anyone with injuries or health issues, so whether just starting or more advanced we all get the best out of her classes. Been doing Shona’s Pilates for a few years and couldn’t recommend her more highly. And you’ll get a warm inclusive welcome from the lovely bunch who do the classes too!

Shona is an incredible teacher and always makes sure there's a variety of exercises each week, adapting them to the needs of the class. When I joined, I'd never really done Pilates and now I can't really imagine life without it and that's all down to Shona.I can't recommend Shona enough. No matter what is going on, for one hour a week I can completely switch off and feel massively uplifted for the week ahead.
