What are the benefits of Pilates?

Pilates is a series of low impact exercises that help develop strong and flexible muscles. It works your whole body without pain or strain, enabling you to exercise within your own limits and progress at your own pace. You can do Pilates irrespective of your age, weight, flexibility and fitness level. The benefits of Pilates include:

  • A stronger core (abdominals, back and pelvic floor)

  • Improved flexibility, coordination and balance

  • Reduced risk of back pain and injury

  • Improved posture and body confidence

  • Toned muscles

  • Mindfulness and relaxation

You can apply what you learn in your Pilates class to your daily life; helping you stand taller, sit better, lift correctly, move with ease and prevent injury.

Hi I’m Marietta

I’ve been active my whole life and honestly, I thought I’d become a spin instructor shouting ‘GO FASTER!’ over pounding techno music. But that isn’t how this story goes.

Chronic back pain led me to Pilates and helped me ditch my script of ‘I have a bad back’. I became a STOTT Pilates instructor and I love helping people to live pain free and enjoy life.

And fear not! I can still work you hard with a calm tone and a mat - no shouting or techno required.

If you’re interested in mat Pilates, I’d love to hear from you and find out your story.

Offering corporate Pilates to your staff will not only improve their mental and physical wellbeing, but will reduce stress levels, sick days and in turn will increase productivity. A win win if you ask me. 

Your employees are your most valuable asset. So looking after their health is paramount. We are not designed to spend long hours sitting at a desk or in front of a computer. People who do are significantly more likely to have postural problems, back aches and stiff joints. The two main reasons for sick days in the UK are due to musculoskeletal problems and stress. The proven benefits of Pilates can help to combat these issues. By offering corporate Pilates your staff can improve their posture, reduce back tension and feel re-energised in their working day.

  • I started Marietta’s classes after 2 years of suffering constant debilitating back pain. I contacted her after three back strains that had me in bed, missing weeks of work and feeling hopeless and scared for my future. With Marietta, I've had an amazing education, she's demystified Pilates and has made it absolutely accessible. The impact has been life changing - I no longer have the constant low grade back pain that was always in the background, I've stopped the weird protective stances or being super cautious as I feel more stable and strong. I'm not scared anymore and I feel as though I have control of my body in a way I never ever could believe.

  • “Couldn't recommend Core and Soul Pilates enough. Marietta's energetic and enthusiastic approach to her teaching makes all the difference. Pilates is something I have always wanted to try but lacked the confidence to attend local sessions, being 6'2 and 99kg. Having had a few one-to-one classes I now feel more than equipped to join in with the group meetings and am really enjoying my new found strength. Looking forward to many more sessions to come.”

    Daniel

  • “Marietta is an exceptional teacher, approachable and knowledgeable and best of all with a unique talent to make learning pilates techniques and working hard FUN. She's patient, positive, and allows plenty of time for questions and clarification after class. Beginners' classes have built up at a suitable pace, and Marietta ensures there are multiple options for different levels in group classes.”

    Louisa

  • I've been doing Pilates for six years and I've had some great teachers, but Marietta is the best yet. She's very technical, which I want for my long term health, but the classes are very easy to follow and great fun. She uses visual clues to get you into the positions and engaging the right muscles, and she gives great tips for the best alignment, even over Zoom. It's enjoyable body medicine and it's certainly working. After just a few classes, I have zero aches and pains in my back, I'm way more toned and ready for the beach!

  • I've really enjoyed Marietta's online beginners Pilates class for the last few months. She has a really relaxed teaching style which makes you feel immediately comfortable, and describes the postures and breathing techniques really well. She uses great analogies involving blueberries and marshmellows that make perfect sense in the context! Although the postures are very gentle I feel like I've had a good workout after every class and my abs can often feel it the next day! I would absolutely recommend Marietta's online classes if you're thinking about starting Pilates. It's been a brilliant introduction to Pilates for me.

    Nancy

  • “I’ve been having 1:1 classes with Marietta after trying a few online video classes, and I can't recommend her enough! I'm been really impressed with the preparation she puts into each class to tailor the sessions to my conditions, strengths and weaknesses. And she makes hard work fun!”

    Clemmie

  • I took a course of Pilates with Marietta and every step of the way was dealt with patience and sensitivity - from initial posture assessment to guiding through workouts, Marietta’s kind and generous teaching style was perfect. I had some personal challenges along the way due to health issues but Marietta still pushed me physically and eased me mentally. Sessions were a weekly highlight. I highly recommend Core and Soul!

    Zimeon

  • I signed up following the birth of my second baby as I wanted to strengthen my core and generally tone back up. I've done a lot of yoga before but never really any Pilates as I didn't really get it. Doing Marietta's classes have been great and converted me. She is patient, clear, funny and an excellent motivator. In each group session I get individual attention to improve technique and am learning loads as well as feeling the benefit. I already feel stronger and my abs are back in the game 🙂 Also - I get to do the class from home with the kiddos in bed, so it works for busy parents. Sign up if you want to work hard, but in a fun way and quickly see results.

  • Marietta’s classes provide a space to breathe, learn and move at a pace that is both really supportive and challenging. I’ve attended Pilates classes before and felt out of my depth having not been taught the proper techniques and postures. Marietta is the polar opposite! She’s so patient at teaching us the building blocks, she’s helped strengthen me from the core out with the right tools. Plus she sends over a recording of the class for us to repeat as many times throughout the week free of charge!

    Bethan

  • I was looking for an activity that would increase my core muscle strength and help me avoid regular lower back and knees pain due to my lack of movement, working from home in front of my computer all day. I started with the 1:1 classes so I can learn the basis of Pilates, as I am a beginner and then joined the group class later. The classes are online and in a small group, Marietta uses well thought images and metaphors to help us get the movements right and are easy to follow. The classes really make a difference to my week and I would 200% recommend them! Marietta is an excellent Pilates teacher, an expert in her field in addition of being a genuinely caring & supportive teacher.

    Vanessa

  • I really wanted to get back into Pilates and had lost my mojo after lockdown. So glad I have found Marietta. She is amazing at what she does. She tailors the lesson to suit your needs but to your body needs. I have tried many classes but none are as dedicated and attentive as she to her students. She genuinely cares which makes her unique in many ways! Couldn't recommend her enough!!
