Michelle holt
“I really appreciate working with Michelle. she has helped me so much, she is a lovely human being and excellent instructor”
Having always been passionate about movement, Michelle discovered Pilates whilst living in Shanghai 10 years ago and working long days at a desk job. She found it to not only offer the well-documented physical benefit of 'stretching out' a hunched up body and complementing a very cardio-focused exercise routine, but a chance to pause and focus on mindful movement and self-awareness.
Michelle started her training with Body Arts and Science International (BASI) Pilates in Chicago in 2015. When she moved back to London in 2017, she returned to work in PR before having two daughters, moving to Sussex and finally deciding to jump back in to the world of Pilates.
She enjoys helping all clients - irrespective of their age or ability, improve their overall health and wellbeing while finding enjoyment in Pilates. Her approach is tailored to each individual, focusing on the precision required to make positive changes to their alignment, strength and mobility.
Nicola Bryson
“Nicola is so kind and gentle and her cues are on point. she is considerate to everyone during the class”
Nicola has been teaching pilates since 2010 and has certifications from Body Control Pilates and Lisa Bradshaw Pilates. She has also recently completed the Comprehensive course with BASI which has consolidated all her experience under one roof. This enthusiasm for eduction coupled with a deep respect for Joseph Pilates' original work makes Nicola’s approach very focussed and challenging whilst also looking at creative ways to make the work accessible and fun for her clients.
Her ultimate goal is to inspire movement with confidence, build resilience, and embrace the power of Pilates in everyday life.
Tracey Simmonds
Tracey has been teaching exercise since 2008. She completed the BASI matwork certification in 2017, followed by the comprehensive equipment programme with Pilates Unlimited in Pretoria, South Africa. Initially drawn to Pilates as a useful form of cross-training to bolster skills in other pursuits it soon became apparent to Tracey that Pilates was much more than just a system of physical exercise.Tracey has an appreciation of the scientific elements of Pilates which unites her love of the creative side of Pilates, specifically the use of relatable language and the conjuring of imagery to build an understanding of one's own body.
