Our Services

Mat Work

The Pilates mat work is the foundation of the method. Learn the original classical concepts of the Pilates floor work. Designed to give you a total body workout without the distractions of equipment. Pilates mat work is the ultimate technique master class, allowing you to really focus on your core, spinal integrity and breathing patterns.

Reformer

Reformer work is equally fun and challenging. The Reformer is one of the most versatile pieces of exercise equipment ever designed. You can lie, sit, kneel or stand on the Reformer to execute the Pilates technique. Resistance, supplied by the springs, is the key to amplifying the benefits of Pilates on the Reformer. Contemporary additions of Dynamic Reformer add a cardio element to your workout.

Barre

It’s undeniable that dancers are incredibly strong, svelte individuals. The Barre technique fuses Pilates concepts with centuries old ballet techniques and modern day sports training, to produce one of this decades most popular workouts. Build tone and strength without building bulk.

Mum-life

Pilates is your best choice for pre and post-natal care. Whether you are newly pregnant or have recently delivered, the Pilates method can meet your individual needs and support you back to your pre-baby self. Philippa has extensive knowledge and a particular interest in pregnancy programs and will confidently modify your exercises for the demands of each trimester.

Seniors

Who wouldn’t want to be strong and stable in their senior years? Pilates is the ideal choice for the ‘mature’ adult. With many progressions and modifications, it’s incredibly safe and easily adapted to your individual needs and abilities. The focus on core stability helps to reduce the risk of falls and resistance work helps to increase bone density.

Kids Core

As a parent to 3 fast growing little humans, I understand the importance of supporting their bodies through change and growth spurts. A regular stretching and strengthening routine will help to prevent rapid growth related issues and stabilise them for the rigours of youth.

Studio Sessions

These are specialised classes focussing on the unique needs of every client. Although there are up to 5 people in the session, everyone works on their own personal program. Close supervision will ensure the progressions and modifications meet your individual needs each and every session.

Fusion

As the name suggests, this is a beautiful combination of mat, barre and small apparatus work. This combination class gives us limitless possibilities to stretch, strengthen and stabilise the body but don’t be fooled, it’s not for the faint hearted.

Corporate

If you can’t get to us, we can come to you. The demands of the corporate world are catching up with us. Long hours spent hunched over a computer are destructive for our posture and wellbeing. Do your employees and their spines a favour and enquire about our corporate packages.

REVIEWS

Let the reviews speak for themself.

Robert

"Having suffered lower back pain for many years I have found Pilates to be the only successful regime. Philippa's knowledge of the body's physiology is outstanding and means that she can target areas that become troublesome from week to week. With Philippa being able to explain 'why', means I can better manage and avoid the actions that might cause a problem."

Erika

"Pilates is the one exercise method I have stuck with consistently for over 15 years. Pip's range of exercises is ever changing and growing, so you're never bored or stuck in the same old routine. Philippa was invaluable during each of my pregnancies. Continuing with Pilates ensured I felt strong throughout pregnancy and birth, as well as in recovery. She always took the time to watch, listen and modify exercises as needed, and I couldn't recommend her highly enough!"

Sally

"Philippa is amazing! Her functional anatomy knowledge is key to her ability to tailor exercises to focus on the needs of every single client. Her passion for the benefits of Pilates is inspiring and her understanding of each clients goals enables her to find the key to motivating them to get through that second set.

Her classes help with preventing back pain, rehab after surgery, preparing for the ski season or toning up to rock the formal dress!"

Philippa Wright (Founder)

Pip was just 11 when her love affair with the Pilates method first began. Pilates supported her body through the rigours of full time ballet and was imperative for injury prevention. Pilates instruction became a natural career progression for her. As a former classical dancer, Pilates has enabled her love of movement, symmetry, posture and alignment to continue.

Philippa has been using the Pilates method to enhance the lives of
many individuals for well over 20 years. She has worked with clients aged 3 to 93 and is yet to meet two bodies that function exactly the same way. Pip remains fascinated by the human body and how it operates. This inspires her to constantly expand her knowledge, adding to the classical Pilates repertoire with new dynamic and contemporary techniques.

Philippa is extremely well respected in her field and enjoys the support of physiotherapists, physicians and surgeons. Philippa is passionate about educating people on the benefits of the Pilates method and recommends it as the ideal movement and physique management option.
