What people say about Bourne Pilates

Thanks, Lucy, for your ante-natal pilates classes! I have really noticed the benefits of them, with posture and "inner core" feeling nice and strong, which is always a bonus through pregnancy (not to mention the impact it is having on the old pelvic floor!!) I have particularly enjoyed the sessions you led while I was in the last 10 weeks of pregnancy, and am sure the exercises will really help see me through labour!

I joined Lucy's Pilates class just over a year ago having not done any real exercise for quite some time; I was encouraged by the gentle but informative introduction to Pilates and the patience shown by Lucy.

The class is of mixed ability but is small enough that we each receive individual attention; several of the members have suffered injuries to or have problems with their backs/necks, with her background and experience Lucy is able to take that into account and tailor exercises appropriately for each person; I love that we are supported to work within our own capabilities but are also encouraged to progress to more exacting levels.

My body is more toned, I am becoming increasingly more supple and definitely much more relaxed and I look forward to the class each week, I'm just waiting for Lucy to increase the number of classes she does so that I can go more often!
