Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Melanie Thompson.

I am qualified in mat and reformer Pilates and 500 hours yoga. Contact me for details.

I love Pilates

Pilates is something I fell into postnatally. I found it surprisingly challenging but  the more I did it, the more I noticed improvements in my general fitness and that was truly addictive.

Qualifications

  • Level 3 Award for  Physical Activity for Ante and Postnatal Clients and  for  orthopedic conditions.
  • Many varied CPD  courses on ANYTHING Pilates related via organisations including Body Control Pilates, Stott and Polestar.

I love Yoga

After just a couple of classes, I felt something inside me change and I was hooked! I love seeing that happen to other people. Some of my Pilates clients have tried it and are also now hooked on yoga. It’s an ancient and intriguing practise.That in itself is fascinating!

I love the mind / body experience gained through doing yoga regularly, weaving in elements of history and philosophy, Pranayama  (breath work) and meditation.
