Pilates with Charles

Having completed a 2-year comprehensive teacher training programme with the highly-respected Anne-Marie Zulkahari and graduated with the Pilates Foundation UK, Charles is fully qualified to teach both Pilates matwork and equipment classes.  His training in anatomy supports a keen interest in postural problems. Using carefully-selected Pilates exercises, he helps his clients to improve their posture, reduce back pain, recover from injury or surgery and to deal with many musculo-skeletal issues.

Passionate about Pilates, Charles believes it is an ideal way for anyone to keep fit, supple, strong and prevent injury.  His classes promote alignment and elongation, working to strengthen the body without building bulky muscles. 

Charles welcomes working with any client - no matter how stiff, weak, flexible or strong.  Above all, he believes that Pilates should be enjoyable and tries to ensure that his clients find it a positive, enlightening experience and are left with a sense of satisfaction and well-being.
