Why Reformer and Mat Pilates good for you and why you should try the Pilates?

Regular Pilates will help:

1. increase fitness levels
2. increase muscular endurance
3. develop or improve core strength
4. improve posture
5. increase flexibility
6. improve breathing
7. reduce body fat
8. reduce the risk of injuries

Like Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates improves strength through the core and lumbar back, the glutes and the abdominals. It also improves balance, flexibility and co-ordination.

Taking regular exercise is very important as it decreases stress and improves mood, while helping you to lose weight and improve your fitness. It also helps you to keep your muscles and bones in good order whilst building a healthy immune system. People that exercise regularly often find that their sleep quality and quality of life improves too.

“Svetlana is a very warm and welcoming professional. After just a few classes, I feel a big improvement in my back pain as she incorporates exercises according to an individual's needs. I love the Pilates Reformer - a piece of equipment that helps you to stretch and strengthen particular parts of the body. I can attend the classes with my 6 month old baby where she also has time for some fun and relaxing exercises. Highly recommend.”

“I am a 70 year old woman with arthritis. I have been doing Pilates with Svetlana since January. I have never been active and Svetlana has been giving me encouragement to carry on and takes my problems into consideration. You're never to old to start. If you're thinking about Pilates then I would recommend Svetlana. Good luck.”
Janet Cordery.

“Svetlana is a fantastic teacher. I really enjoy attending Reformer Pilates and especially being able to take my twins with me and for them to join in. I attend one-to-one sessions and feel really relaxed knowing I can exercise and keep an eye on the babies too. Pilates has really helped with my premature twins stiff legs and Svetlana has shown me how to exercise with them which I also do at home. I always feel really great after our classes.”
Gemma E

“I have been going to Svetlana since my baby was 14 weeks old for one-to-one classes and I really enjoy them. Svetlana is an excellent teacher and focuses on the areas I need to work on such as my neck and shoulders. I am able to bring my baby along and if he is sleeping I can exercise without worry. When he is awake Svetlana incorporates him into the exercises and has some baby yoga moves for him. Svetlana is incredibly welcoming and makes it very easy to practice with the baby - I highly recommend!”
Samantha A

“I am really enjoying the classes. I feel that you are more thorough. I feel like I have really worked on myself these past three sessions. My pain levels have reduced greatly. What you teach stays with me, so that I am checking my posture all the time. I find that you are kind and patient, and want the best for me. I look forward to the class even though I am tired because I work so late!”
Judith Nichols.

“Svetlana is brilliant! I have attended her classes for 4 years now and they have always been professional, enjoyable... they make me feel healthier. She always makes the exercises bespoke to your needs and her adapting to offering virtual classes has been so vital for me! Thanks Svetlana.”
Mariam Curson.

“Svetlana is fantastic and helps you work on exactly what you need to improve on. I bring my baby with me which is fantastic. Reformer Pilates is amazing but great mat work too, there’s a good mix. Small classes means great one-on-one treatment. Cannot recommend Svetlana’s classes enough! I’m a regular.”
Joanna L

“I was introduced to Svetlana by a friend. I have been suffering lower back pain for many years. Svetlana is professional and tailors the Pilates to your exact need. Although there are other women in the class you feel as if you are having a personal Pilates lesson. Feel very refreshed and relaxed after the class.”
Claire H

“Thank you so much for your amazing classes. Look forward every week to working out with you.”

Claire Hayton.

“Svetlana is a good teacher of Pilates and very welcoming. I particularly enjoyed the reformer class as the reformer machine helped me to practice the various Pilates exercises correctly in a structured way.”
Jay

“Amazing. Svetlana is very kind and welcoming to me and my baby. My baby had a great time playing and stretching with us and being on the exercise ball. Svetlana has an excellent understanding of how the human body works and so I was confident that she could help me even with my musculoskeletal difficulties. After just the first session I felt amazing! Would recommend to anyone ☺️”
Stephanie E

“I have been attending Sveta’s classes for nearly a year and they have made a huge difference to my lower back problems. I have always found her knowledgeable and fun and she adapts the class to you as an individual so that you really work on your problem areas. I would recommend her classes to anyone!”
Claire C

“I have been attending Svetlana’s classes for over a year. Svetlana is very encouraging and ensures you are performing the exercises accurately. She is very flexible in terms of timing and being able to bring your little one to the classes. I like the fact that I can attend these classes and not feel self-conscious.”
Nisha S

“Svetlana came highly recommended and I am not disappointed! She is extremely knowledgeable & professional. Her sessions are amazing. She has helped me with my lower back pain & given me extra stretches to do at home. I can really feel the benefits since starting with Svetlana. She explains everything thoroughly & helps you listen to your body as your exercise. Thank you millions Svetlana :-)”
Hayley-Jane B

“I have been doing one-to-one sessions with Svetlana for almost six months now. I really enjoy it and look forward to it because I always leave feeling so much better! She is a lovely person and a great teacher as she always challenges me to keep improving. I have definitely noticed huge improvements to my stomach, back pain and general core strength. I would highly recommend Pilates with Svetlana.”
Huma

“I've been attending Svetlana's classes for more than 4 months now and feel a big difference in my core, I feel so much stronger and have more energy. The reformer machine is a great new addition to the classes, it helps to strengthen the internal core muscles on a different level. I've also been able to come to the classes with my baby, which is great as she was napping while I was exercising. I highly recommend Svetlana's Pilates classes to any pregnant or new mother, or to anyone who has any back issues/wants to strengthen their core or simply wants to exercise with a qualified and motivating instructor.”
Mingaile B

“I’ve been attending Pilates for almost a year now with Svetlana and have really enjoyed the classes. I experienced back issues following the births of my children and Pilates has helped me strengthen my core. My back issues have gone! The reformer machine is a great addition to Svetlana’s classes and she is very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend - whenever you had your babies!!”
Marie G

“I've only had one session with Svetlana, but I have to say it was a very good one! Svetlana has a calm and friendly manner, which puts you completely at ease. When attending Svetlana's session, I also felt completely at ease with the exercises that she was giving me. The exercises were tailored to my fitness level and at a good pace. Svetlana is a complete professional and really knows her stuff regarding pilates. By the end of the session (and the next morning) I really felt like I'd had a good workout! Exactly what any woman needs after pregnancy, and the toll that it takes on the body. I would highly recommend Svetlana's classes - you won't be disappointed.”
Lola S

“I'm really glad I started these classes. I enjoy being able to get some much needed post-baby exercise and appreciate the small class sizes Sveta runs as I find Pilates is all about technique - frequent reminders and corrections to mine by Sveta ensure I feel as though I've had a good workout the next day! It's also great to not only bring my baby along, but get her involved too with her own exercises as well as her 'helping' me with mine! Plus she sleeps like the proverbial afterwards! Most recommended.”
lynn

“I have attended Pilates classes with Svetlana for over 5 years now. I have thoroughly enjoyed all her classes and tried many of her special Pilates classes: Postnatal Pilates, one-to-one classes, small group sessions (usually 2 or 3 people) and Reformer Pilates. She is very professional and adapts the requirements to each person attending the class. She is very knowledgeable and you can see the benefits of her classes from the first moment! She even had some time for baby Pilates during class when I attended with my baby boy years ago! The classes are relaxed and performed in a friendly environment but as she is very professional you work hard without realising! During the pandemic she adapted her classes to an online format via zoom. She made us welcome and offered several sessions a week as well as one-to-one classes. She is by far the best Pilates teacher that I have had the pleasure to meet, I can't recommend her enough.”
Maria L.

“I'm pregnant and have never done Pilates before. My sister introduced me to Svetlana and she is amazing. I was nervous at first as never gone to exercise class before, however I felt safe, reassured, listened to and it felt amazing after the class. She is professional and talks with experience and knowledge. Hope to continue these classes till end of pregnancy and post birth : )”
Jennika S

“Svetlana is very knowledgeable and kind. She is patient and adapts sessions to each individual's needs. The added bonus is that I can bring my children and exercise while they play.”
Joyce T

“I am 6 months pregnant & developed pain in my periformis which affected my sleep every night. Svetlana has been working with me to strengthen my glutes (as advised by my physio) & it’s really helped reduce the pain. Svetlana is friendly, experienced & extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her Pilates classes.”
Cheryl

“I have attend group and one-to-one classes. I can definitely recommend Svetlana! She is passionate about her job, she is super welcoming. You will feel like part of her Pilates family once first lesson attended.”
Jelena G

“I started Pilates classes with Svetlana 3 months after giving birth. I really enjoy the class and the practice on the mat and on the reformer helps me to strengthen my whole body and particularly my core! I go to the class with my baby who really enjoys it too :) Svetlana is a really good teacher and tailors the exercises based on your needs. I would strongly recommend.”
