Rebecca – founder
Rebecca is a therapeutic Pilates teacher who specialises in working with people returning to movement after illness or injury.
Pilates was the key to helping her find physical, mental and emotional strength in midlife – and it also inspired a new career.
Since then she’s helped hundreds of people to discover the transformative power of a regular movement practice.
In 2020 she created the (online) Daily Pilates Movement Challenge for Breast Cancer UK. Over three years more than 2500 people signed up to take part, raising close to £10,000 for breast cancer prevention.
She has a Comprehensive Teaching qualification from Balanced Body with additional training in lower back pain, exercise after joint replacement, diastasis recti recovery and fascia-focused movement.
Helen
Helen has been practicing Pilates since 2013 after suffering for years with chronic backpain.
She knows the realities of working a stressful desk job and how hard it can be to fit in exercise around a busy schedule, especially when you are exhausted.
However she firmly believes that regular movement is one of the most important things you can do to feel better. She is now free from back pain through her regular Pilates practice
Following her own journey of discovery, Helen became passionate about Pilates, and in 2019, she trained with Polestar Pilates UK. She is now a certified Comprehensive Pilate
Valerie
Val’s Pilates journey began 15 years ago when a demanding City job led to persistent back issues. Seeking relief, she discovered Pilates as a remedy for her back and an effective way to reduce stress.
After years of personal practice, she decided to turn her love of Pilates into her career. She is passionate about sharing the transformative power of movement and and aims to create a fun and varied movement experience in her sessions.
She completed her Mat and Reformer qualifications with Polestar Pilates.
Val has also attended Franklin Method and Fascia Focused movement courses and you will find the influence of these movement practices incorporated within her sessions.
Angela
It was a passion for movement and well-being, as well as an enjoyment of Pilates, that led Angela to teacher training.
She works with a sincere belief that the joy of movement is for everyone and that movement is not only for fitness of the body, but also for fitness of the mind and heart.
She is a Pilates Foundation accredited Comprehensive Pilates teacher, holds an MA in Movement Studies from RCSSD and is qualified as a Dru Yoga teacher.
In addition to Pilates, Angela works at drama schools as an expressive movement teacher and as a freelance theatre movement director.
Reviews
“I’m a 66 year old woman and have been doing 121 equipment pilates with Rebecca for a few years now. The benefits have been marked, in terms of body awareness, flexibility, mobility, posture, alignment, core strength. I could go on …!
Now, I can’t imagine my week without her class, and when I have to miss sessions, I feel the difference.
She really is an excellent teacher: meticulous, knowledgeable, caring, and fun to work with. You will quickly see and feel the benefits of her approach.”
“Rebecca had great skill in identifying my problems and the expertise and knowledge to gradually and effectively address these.
Her experience and care has helped me improve my range of movement, pain, stamina and core strength.
I am very grateful to her and without doubt have found her intervention to have been highly effective. Perhaps most importantly I have really enjoyed Pilates and can’t understand why I hadn’t done it sooner.”
“I love my Pilates sessions with Rebecca. I have been attending weekly 1-2-1 sessions and she has helped me rediscover movement in my back after years of struggle, aches and pains.
I honestly feel like she has helped give my body a new lease of life! She is such an encouraging, patient and calm teacher and explains clearly each exercise. Her knowledge and experience is an inspiration.
I am so glad that I took the decision to sign up – I can’t recommend Rebecca enough.”
“I had back issues for years that gave only gotten worse and at times I could barely walk. I am finally doing Pilates with Rebecca and it has actually changed my life as I am so much stronger and the back pain is gone.
It took me awhile to understand why the movements seemed so gentle but now I am becoming more agile and stronger and I am appreciating the sessions more.”
“My friend and I really look forward to our duet class each week. Rebecca is so welcoming, calming and kind.
She creates personalised programmes for each of us, according to our personal needs or goals.
Her sessions are creative and rewarding and we both feel stronger and more flexible as a result.
Neither of us had ever done pilates before and now we can’t really imagine life without it. Thank you so much Rebecca!”
I have been attending classes at this beautiful studio for nearly a year. I have worked with all the teachers and cannot recommend them highly enough.
Their classes are well planned, tailored to our individual needs and delivered with warmth and care. I cannot imagine my life without Restore Pilates
A big thank you to all the teachers.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I have been taking reformer classes with Rebecca and her team for about 6 months.
I have an existing knee condition and the exercises have been excellent in improving my mobility, flexibility and strength and I am walking so much better. Some of the exercises in the class are modified/changed to accommodate my knee issues which I appreciate.
All the exercises are explained clearly and easy to follow. Classes have also improved my overall strength and flexibility.
A wonderful place with great people, warm, understanding, professional and supportive.
Body positive and adapt everything to individual needs.
I love my Pilates duo sessions and they have really helped me with some health stuff. It’s now my routine and the benefits are worth it.
