Hello, I’m Mel
I’ve been practising Pilates for over 20 years and yoga for over 10 years. I teach both. I love how they positively transform you physically and mentally. I run classes around Cambridgeshire : at my village hall in Highfields Caldecote. I offer 1:1 and 1:2 sessions. Please contact me for details.
I also teach at gyms and studios in and around Cambridge.
I have studied Pilates with the Future Fit School of Pilates as well as undertaking many other related Pilates courses. I am qualified to teach ante and postnatal classes.
My yoga qualification is 500 hours with Camyoga .

Why Yoga & Pilates?
Improve Movement & tone
Become more body-aware, and reveal the unrealized ability of your own body. Pilates and yoga can also work together to make you stronger and more flexible.
Recover from injury
Post-operatively and after trauma, both practices can be therapy for the body and mind. The mindfulness aspect of yoga has worked for centuries and it’s power cannot be ignored. In fact, yoga originated with meditation and no physical practice.
The remedial aspect of Pilates which has been proven to help so many with injuries, orthopedic conditions, back pain and postural issues. Many begin their Pilates journey through medical referral and continue so as to stay pain free.
Relieve stress & Tension
Take yourself into your inner awareness and away from the rigours of daily life. If you have never tried breathing practices or meditation, why not give it a go? Notice the power that the connection between mind and body can bring to you. Allow it to change your life for the better. It’s not just about the body.
