Thank you very much for your classes over the last four years.  I do love the relaxed atmosphere and I really appreciate the way you always give everybody enough time to think.  You are a really good teacher and I've loved coming to classes with you.

These classes have been the best routine ever.  Love Pilates with Karen, her sessions are the highlight of my week.

Sheena Kennedy

Many thanks for providing the classes online. I have found them perfect for me after a break of about ten years (that's why I keep the video off!)  I also do the Tuesday Stretch which I really do enjoy.

"For anyone wondering whether one to one tuition is for them, I can't recommend Karen enough!  I've had numerous sessions on the reformer, which I'm absolutely addicted to.  Also I've recently had my first session of Classical Pilates training with her which was intense, but really got those endorphins going!  I have found her one to one sessions immensely beneficial in making me more body-aware, being able to identify my own strengths and weaknesses.  This has helped me in the group mat classes too.  She is simply the best teacher ever"

Mary Hoggarth

Thank you for making the Pilates classes such fun.  I've very much enjoyed the last 2 years with you.  You are an excellent teacher!

Julie Williamson

Thank you so much for your classes Karen.  They are so relaxing and yet challenging at the same time.

Sam

Thank you so much for your kind patience in enabling me to organise a Christmas present for my mum, a 'Pilates Voucher' for a one to one training session with you.  It'll be a lovely present for her!

Christopher Blomfield

Karen is a brilliant sympathetic and hilarious tonic. I'm eighty and once I mastered Zoom, Pilates was fun. You can cheat by hiding behind the sofa so she can't see you taking time out!  Thanks Karen for the tonic you bring. I always look forward to your classes.

Peter

Can I just say that I really look forward to and enjoy your Friday pilates sessions. You are gifted in what you do.

Laura Elizabeth Starkey

Karen is amazing!  Working with her has begun to transform the way I move my body, helped me to get stronger and ended years of cyclical back problems.  To anyone who suffers with on/off back trouble, I can't recommend her highly enough!

 

Kimberley

Another great video session.  I love these half hour sessions.  My legs feel as though they were worked hard today.  Thank you, just what I needed after a long day at work.

Sandie Jennings

I can't tell you just how much I have enjoyed your classes!

Luella Cayless

I've just signed up for next term and I can't wait....I love Karen's teaching.  She takes really good care to ensure that you are using the correct technique and is so knowledgeable.  My body loves her too.  I just feel so much better after a class.  Its fabulous that the class videos are available to repeat and do in your own time if you can't make the live sessions.  See you soon Karen and thank you for being fabulous.

Linda Bates

Pilates on demand, with my excellent Pilates Teacher Karen, is such a great idea.  I've been to several teachers over the years and Karen is the best by far.  Her recorded classes are great because she reminds you of the technique as if she can see you forgetting to engage your core, or keep your shoulders level.

Nicky Paul

I have really enjoyed the video classes.  It's a little strange at first doing them on your own without a group, but you soon get used to it.  Thank you Karen.

Janeane

I've enjoyed your stretching course very much.  I really hadn't realised just how stiff I have become over the years.  The videos have been an absolute godsend.  Its so great to be able to use them whenever I want and I have really noticed the benefit.  Thank you.
