Posture Pilates

Welcome...

Hey! I'm Rebecca,

....owner of Posture Pilates, mum to the two gorgeous boys pictured above and a lover of all things health, well-being and fitness related.

I have been practising pilates for over 20 years, and more recently Barre, and both methods have given me an enhanced understanding and awareness of my body, my movement patterns, and how breathing properly can help reduce stress and tension. They have helped me minimise back pain, improve my posture and physique and keep injury largely at bay. They have helped repair my body from two Caesarean sections building my strength from within and rebalancing my muscles.

I trained with Body Control Pilates and studied intensively to the high standards they insist upon and am proud to hold their matwork and reformer certification at level 3 in the National Qualifications Framework.

I also hold the following certifications:-

Intermediate Matwork - Body Control Pilates.

Beginner and Intermediate Reformer Instructor - Body Control Pilates.

Pilates for Performance - Body Control Pilates.

Pilates for Runners - Body Control Pilates.

Menopause Awareness for Pilates Teachers - Menopause Pilates - Dinah Siman.

Bootbarre primary trainer - Bootybarre - Tracey Mallett.

Level 1 Stand Up Paddleboard Instructor - BSUPA

Level 3 SUPTA Stand Up Paddleboard Pilates Instructor - SUPTA and BSUPA.

I hold a valid First Aid certificate and am fully insured via Balens and The Body Control Pilates Association.

I am passionate about the benefits that Pilates, Bootybarre and Stand Up Paddleboarding can bring and I truly enjoy sharing the benefits of all three methods with others. So come and join me and let me help you realign and reset your body.
