Living Pilates UK

Liv’s Pilates class is the highlight of my week! My body and mind always feels so much better when I leave it’s a great pre-work session and when I miss one I can really feel it!

Olivia has totally changed my Pilates experience, she is so good at explaining how to do the movements correctly. Her classes are really inclusive relaxed and fun …gentle music in the background. I have had 1:1 sessions which have helped me develop my own practice and have helped me have a better understanding of my body .

Highly recommend Olivia's pilates classes, which are in equal parts fun, engaging and accessible. She manages to give every attender of her group classes individual attention and offer modifications to make each exercise work for you.

Olivia has a fantastic knowledge of how the body moves and she conveys this in a fun, friendly and engaging way. She's always able to offer tips and adjustments to help you achieve the most from each exercise. Every class is varied and challenging but in a way which feels right for you and your body. If you've previously found Pilates boring or didn't get it" come and try Olivia's classes and you'll be hooked!"

Olivia is an amazing teacher who I've been practising with for just over 2 years now, from total newbie to complete convert. She's incredibly imaginative with her classes, which all have a different flow and feel which I really enjoy. She's also excellent at taking individual student needs into account, tailoring classes wherever possible, and talking through the moves in a relatable way to help with adjustments, which is more essential than ever when taking classes via Zoom! Even through lockdown and practising remotely, I know I'm in excellent hands with Olivia!

I enjoy Olivia’s Pilates classes not just for the challenge of the exercises but almost more importantly, for the peace and the mindfulness it gives me. Olivia’s descriptions and explanations of what we are doing and why, are excellent and her voice is confident, calm and reassuring. Thoroughly recommend Living Pilates UK to anyone new to Pilates or to those who have tried it elsewhere.

I love doing Pilates with Olivia every week. All her classes are very well thought out, informative and really make you think about how you move. I have noticed huge improvements in my core strength, flexibility and balance since I started with her and look forward to every class.

I enjoy Olivia’s classes very much having began in a studio setting and now virtually.Olivia is very knowledgeable, informative and professional. You feel as if you are on a 1:1 as she adapts the moves to suit her client’s abilities, which is great for me as I have a problem with my knee.Highly recommend!

Best Pilates teacher I've found. I've tried a quite a few Pilates classes/teachers in Bristol over the years but can confidentially recommend Olivia as a professional, caring, knowledgeable teacher. I have a couple of chronic injuries but with Olivia's expert guidance, patience and support she has given me the confidence to use Pilates to strengthen my body, increase flexibility and reduce my pain. I always feel safe in Olivia's classes as her expert eye and attention to detail means that she will always discreetly offer an alternative adaptation for an exercise. When lockdown came last March, she swiftly took her classes online and adapted to the new format with complete professionalism and still kept her ability to make each class member feel cared for, valued and supported. Olivia's 1:1 sessions are engaging, enlightening and I always leave the session feeling stronger, more flexible and uplifted.

I’ve been working with Olivia for several years now at other studios and since lockdown i’ve been really enjoying her Living Pilates virtual sessions. She keeps it to a small number so that she can observe and correct as required. It’s enabled me to keep going with my Pilates all the way through lockdown. Olivia teaches in a Professional but friendly way so that however you feel at the start of the session you know you’re going to be feeling much better at the end of the session. She understands that each of us are individuals with our own strengths and weaknesses and I’ve always felt she treats me as an individual focusing on my needs.
