“Some patients referred to Pilates teaches never need further regular treatment, and many only begin to maintain improvement once they take up Pilates,"
Piers Chandler DO(Osteopath)

OTHER FEEDBACK

I just wanted to let you know that I have decided to enrol on the Body Control Pilates Teacher training course and will be putting your name on my application form. My journey in health and fitness all began with my first pilates class with you back in oct 2002! Now I can't go a day without doing something - be it a pilates or yoga class, boxercise, gym, running! I want to thank you for being a great teacher over the years and for planitng that initial seed of thought in my mind that maybe this something that I could persue. KW Aqiva Winchester 2010

I want you to know that I have enjoyed my 2 years with you immensely, and have benefitted both physicaly and mentally from my classes. You are an excellent and inspiring teacher. ET Brighton 2010 

I am finding that my trunk is becoming more flexible - I hadn't realised before how stiff my shoulders were. I have back problems anyway and I feel this is very helpful. EF 2010 Brighton

It makes me relax once a week, improves my flexibility and has helped me to maintain and regain core strength after having a baby. DF 2010 Brighton

"I want to thank you so much for teaching pilates to me for the past 2 years. It's the longest that I have ever been able to commit myself to something and really feel that I have found "the thing" for me. I am much fitter now than I have ever been, and that is in large part due to your professionalism, encouragement and challenges each week - thank you! "
JS Winchester April 2004

"...A very small thank you present for almost 5 years of pilates which have taken me through 2 higher degress and over 80,000 miles of commuting, and numerous other life events intact and more healthy than I started - THANK YOU! Your teaching has been consistently excellent throughout and I have learned a great deal .......".
JS Winchester Jan 2007

".......the lessons you give us are well worth more to me than what you charge."
IC Winchester Mar 2007

"You have been a very good teacher. A good teacher to me is like a candleholder in the flame of the student's imagination. Let this little token of my appreciation remind you of how inspiring you have been as my teacher. Thank you."
IC May 2007 

"After spending almost 2 years improving my core strength via the NHS, having suffered a prolapsed disc in my lower back, I went to see Jan after it was suggested by my Physiotherapist and after she was recommended by a trusted friend.  Jan taught me valuable Pilates-based exercises about breathing, posture, balance and perhaps most of all, how to relax.  The one-to-one sessions were expensive, but vital in further stablising the lower back.  The treatments came at a time in my long journey of recovery where I could finally look forward to regaining the strength to swim, go for walks, and sit comfortably again." 
HC Brighton 2009

PREGNANCY

"....I felt so much more balanced during my third pregnancy having done pilates, compared with my first two.  This also helped my confidence generally."

"....Body recovery following childbirth was amazing having done Pilates before and during my third pregnancy.  I hardly feel I've had children!  Recovery both inside and out was so much quicker."
IM Winchester 2005

"....Pilates really helped me to regain my abs and my lower back strength and flexibility post pregnancy.  Having done pilates before and during my pregnancy I am able to manage handling my baby so much better due to my body awareness."
DR JK Winchester 2005

"...I would always advocate Pilates to my clients during pregnancy as they hold so much tension around their ribs."
