Hypermobility in Pilates

Osteoporosis in Pilates

I founded Island Pilates in 2021; having been teaching in Cheshire for 3 years. We relocated to Anglesey and I had always dreamt of running my own studio. I noticed a gap in the market in Anglesey and North Wales for a unique, cosy and comfortable space to teach classes. I wanted the classes to be available to all abilities and ages; allowing people to gain strength in an environment that isn't a busy, maybe intimidating gym. It has allowed me to build a real community of clients who are passionate about Pilates , about looking after themselves; and building strong; injury proof bodies!
