Meet Emma
Emma has practised Pilates for over 20 years, and is a qualified Matwork Teacher with Body Control Pilates in London. She relocated to Devonport, New Zealand in 2012, and has been teaching regular Pilates classes and private tuition ever since.
Emma is an 'active relaxer', who enjoys travelling, sailing, walking, singing & catching up with friends.
"Practising Pilates has changed my life and my perception of my body. I'm stronger and fitter than I've been for years! And because of that, I'm passionate about helping others reach their potential through Pilates, and seeing the benefits in my clients." – Emma
The Pilates Method
The Pilates Method is a type of physical and mental conditioning using well designed, choreographed movements properly performed and in a balanced sequence. The emphasis is not on quantity, but on quality.
It is a mindful form of exercise where each movement is performed consciously, with slow control and with a particular breathing pattern.
The complete mat method works every muscle group in the body with special attention to the core muscles and those that stabilise the joints.
"Pilates with Emma has been life- changing for me. Emma is very positive and explains things well. I feel safe and it has helped with my core strength so much ... suddenly you are doing things that you never thought you would manage. I would highly recommend Pilates for any age and Emma as a teacher." – Ginnie
