Mindfulness pilates: ‘love it, an amazing initiative, I am not a fan of Pilates at my gym but yours is so much more holistic and as the title suggests brings in mindfulness, awareness and relaxation as well as restorative postures et al. Amazing to be able to do it from the comfort of your own home too!’

‘So lovely to get a testimonial from a happy client ‘I attended Bev’s studio in Hertfordshire for years reaching an advanced level. My body felt great.

My gym is currently closed and with my fitness level/ hip pain  due to a house move I heard about her virtual classes during lockdown I thought I’d give it a go.

After 3 weeks of classes and regular exercises/ advice I am pain free and considering starting an advanced class.

It is BRILLIANT being able to attend classes with Bev again😊’ Julie New’

‘After a knee replacement I found exercise classes quite limiting, not knowing which exercises were best. Pilates was recommended and it was exactly what I needed. I have enjoyed lessons with Beverley, she thoroughly knows how how to adapt exercises to suit everyone’s abilities and how to strengthen weaknesses. Having benefited so much I encouraged my husband, Mike to join, so Bev started with him, first with 1 to 1 lessons progressing to the men’s Pilates class. His flexibility and posture are improving rapidly. Since lockdown we have been doing Bev’s zoom lessons, a highlight of the week. She has inspired me to join the advanced class. (I’m 69). Bev is able to encourage and correct in just the same way, as if we were together. I am so excited by the improvements I have made, all thanks to Beverley. Pilates promotes wellbeing, both physically and mentally at any age, my husband started at the age of 77.’ Love Sue’

‘I came to Pilates after suffering a prolapsed disc and I was looking to strengthen my back and core to protect against future injury.  Bev's lessons have helped me to find a routine which enables me to build my strength, but also they have given me an insight into the importance of good posture and the benefits of maintaining overall body strength.  The Pilates techniques provide a great way to maintain flexibility and strength in a practical and achievable way.

Bev is a very experienced teacher who is able to pitch the teaching to the appropriate level for the individual and helps you to build up over time in a safe and structured way.  She is a lovely person who is passionate about what she does.  Currently in lockdown, we have been having lessons over Zoom, which have worked really well.  One of the benefits is the ability to record the sessions, which allows you to replay them between lessons and helps to ensure you are practising the routines in the right way.

I would definitely recommend Bev for those thinking about taking up Pilates!’ Mark‘

‘Bev has given me back my confidence following a leg injury I sustained while running.  Her knowledgeable and patient approach to teaching ensured a speedy recovery and allowed me to begin running again in a very short timeframe.  Bev is a very experienced Pilates teacher who tailors her teaching to each individual so that you can progress at the appropriate rate for your standard.  Her kind and gentle personality makes me look forward to every class.  Thank you, Bev!’

‘Pilates is my Go-to exercise - in the UK I went to Pilates classes for many years and here in France it was one of the first things I looked for. Due to being so rural - I found it difficult to attend regularly so you can imagine how delighted I was when I saw Bev was offering online Pilates. It's been a couple of months now since I began with my Thursday morning class and I LOVE it. My back felt better immediately and I also love that you can really feel that Bev's classes are all guided by the angels (another side of her "work"). If you are looking for ways to keep moving right now and into the future, I highly recommend these classes.’ Sara Estelle Turner Mentor to Healing Business Owners

So lovely to get a testimonial from another happy client; ‘I came to Pilates with Bev to relieve the stress of my job and gain some flexibility. It really does help with stress and working wonders on my posture and getting there on flexibility. Bev has a lovely calm manner and understands your needs and works them into the class. The zoom version is such fun with like minded people and a great way to do Pilates. Bev is still able to give individual instruction to everyone. Would totally recommend Bev’s Mindfulness Pilates to everyone who’s not sure and wants to give it a go.’ Debi

‘I have a sedentary job and a number of physical injuries so I need to keep moving and Pilates is the perfect exercise for me. Since I started working with Bev my hips have really loosened up and I feel much stronger overall. Beverly is a lovely teacher and makes sure we all get personal attention. Classes are also recorded so that we can repeat them during the week if we feel like it. I highly recommend giving it a go.’ Ann Callaghan, producer of Indigo Essences.’

‘I first met Bev last year whilst recovering from an annular tear in my lower back.

It wasn’t until the lockdown that I started taking up a Pilates through Bev’s zoom classes.

These have been perfect for me as I don’t have to travel anywhere!

Has my back improved? Without a doubt. I have more confidence in my back to perform normal things like gardening, shopping etc. Previously I was wary of ‘something’ happening. My posture has improved as a result of the classes.

Bev is a great teacher, she’s patient and careful that we don’t extend ourselves too much so it is always pitched at the right level. She is also very encouraging.

I’ve always wanted to try Pilates and am glad that I have through Bev.’

What brought you to pilates? I have 2 friends who do Pilates and they knew I was having problems with my back and recommended I give it a try. One of them recommended you to me and the rest is history!

How has pilates has helped you? When I started I couldn’t support myself on my wrists - now I can. I used to have to crawl from the mat to the dresser to pull myself up - now I can get up by myself without support!

What are zoom lessons like? Lovely, I enjoy the challenge and the relaxation.

What’s your one to one like and how do you feel after? I look forward to my 1-1’s and feel really good afterwards. I play meditation music and use sweet orange essential oil so a feast for all the senses.

What are lessons with Bev like?! Try them and see! I did and have never regretted it.

Loved receiving this testimonial today: ‘Complications following a Hernia operation meant a sustained period of inactivity from the gym and sport in general. Regaining this strength proved more difficult than initially anticipated resulting in subsequent back-issues being highlighted, namely a prolapsed disc & arthritis in my facet joints. Various stretching and strengthening exercises were recommended by physio’s without any sustained improvement throughout meaning sport was limited specifically golf. Pilates with Bev was recommended to me as a possible route for permanent improvement. My first 1:1 with Bev with subsequent fortnightly sessions with daily practice in-between. Early March brought the first significant signs of improvement in strength and mobility Bev encouraged daily practice to enforce what we’d already built and by the time golf courses were open again after lockdown I was able to play a few holes pain free. I am now able to participate in all sports of my choosing without pain, even completing a 36 hole event in early September. I continue to practice Pilates every day. Thank you, Bev”

‘Bevs done wonders for my back, after an injury 13 years ago, 10 months with Bev and my lower back is the strongest it has ever been!’

Hannah Sanderson, Singing Teacher

‘At the beginning of the year I was feeling very down. I felt extremely anxious about growing old. I turned 40 in February. I hate the thought of getting old, getting wrinkly and going grey. I was over weight and had stopped exercising. I used to run a lot and go to Bootcamp. I felt like that was a different person and not for me anymore. 

When I was introduced to Bev, her friendly, positive attitude made me feel much better about myself and decided to give Pilates a go.

Doing the classes via zoom is absolutely brilliant. Saves time and money on travel! 

Bev is very good at correcting, if you’re not in quite the right position. She really keeps us in check. 

I never feel like I’m slacking behind because you really can go at your own pace/level. You don’t ever feel like you’re not doing very well. 

Even after an operation I had in September I was able to return to class very quickly to do what I felt able to. If I tried to do too much Bev was quick to slow me down so I didn’t injure myself. 

I highly recommend Bev’s class to anyone looking to introduce themselves to exercise or for a class that makes you feel energised for the day ahead. I no longer feel anxious about being old and I’m much happier within myself since attending Bev’s classes.’
