One to one Pilates sessions

Ruth works with individuals, couples and small groups to offer home Pilates. Ruth can work with individuals to reduce back and joint pain, improve core strength and fitness, prepare for pregnancy and birth, improve flexibility for sport, and reduce risk of injury or return from injury. 

Ruth teaches one to one mat Pilates across London, and online. 

Corporate Pilates

 Pilates in the workplace can not only help to reduce back and joint pain and improve posture but  but is also a great way to increase connection and team building and is a chance to encourage hybrid workers back into the office. 

We know that employees who move more throughout the day are more motivated, productive and healthier overall and that musculoskeletal ill health is still one of the key causes of sickness absence in the workplace. Pilates can drammatically reduce this risk! 

Ruth can adapt her classes for all levels – from complete beginners to advanced Pilates pros!
