WHAT IS Pilates?
A strength building system of precision and control
Pilates is a strength building system promoting balance of muscle groups and strong stabilising muscles for good biomechanics and postural alignment. It works muscles through full range which is why it is associated as a stretch method as well. It was originally named Contrology by Joseph Pilates and the contemporary version I teach is based on 10 Principles: Awareness, Balance, Breath, Concentration, Center, Control, Efficiency, Flow, Precision, Harmony.
I teach BASI® Pilates which puts emphasis on the stability of the shoulder complex as well as the pelvis and lumbar spine. I use both small equipment on the mat and BASI Systems equipment to offer the best possible movement considerations for the client..

Hi I'm Georgia, I live on Dartmoor and when not running around after my two girls I enjoy riding bikes and being outdoors. I love Pilates and decided to open my small studio in Southernhay, Exeter so that I could share that passion with people because I believe it is an amazing and highly adaptable method that can be tailored to suit everybody. My regular self practice and passion for exploring movement is what enables me to be unique and creative with my classes and cue movements well to others so that they really feel the benefits of the session. I teach 1:1 in my studio and online. Classes are completely tailored to your needs, with safe considerations for your needs and detailed corrections so that you experience a highly effective workout with results.
I trained in London with BASI®
(Body Arts Science International). BASI® is one of the highly reputable Pilates schools true to Joseph Pilates original work but with a contemporary influence that brings it up to date with modern science. After my Mat qualification I completed my 500 + hours of Comprehensive training and exams. I am trained to teach on all of the Pilates equipment: Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Step Barrel, Ladder barrel, F2 Chair including the well known Reformer.

Pilates is a very effective tool for rehabilitating injury. It can optimise alignment and correct the movement patterns which are causing injury. The progressive resistance of the springs makes it very easy to work within a pain free range of motion. The springs can also be easily set up to simulate various functional movements, reflective of daily activities and sports.
I have physio guided training in rehabilitating disc disease, post-surgical conditions, rotator cuff syndrome, tendinopathies, and osteoarthritis.
I can also help with...
Hip Joint Replacements
Piriformis Syndrome
Sciatic pain
ACL tears / reconstructions
Plantar Fasciitis
Diastasis Recti

I can offer safe movement practice for:
Osteoporosis
Hypermobility
Osteoarthritis
Non acute disc injury

Pilates for sports performance is something I'm very interested in as a Cyclist and a Runner and I have used Pilates myself in training for several endurance events, XC cycling races, Triathlon and stage racing. I highly recommend it for preventing injury and improving 'mind-body' connection.

There is endless possibility to tailor Pilates for a particular sport. It can rebalance muscle groups where necessary to prevent injury and therefore give an athlete more longevity in their sport. It is a brilliant compliment to other forms of strength training and will improve not only your stability but your postural awareness, ROM, balance and proprioception.
I specialise in Shoulder stability and injury prevention for the Cyclist but Pilates can be applied to many other sports.
Running & Swimming
Tennis
Golf
Equestrian Sports
Watersports
Climbing
Skiing
