Private Pilates in Harrogate: Hello, I’m Nicola
I teach reformer Pilates one to one, from a studio at my home in Harrogate.
I wanted to give my clients my full attention. I’ve been in group classes where I’ve noticed incorrect form going unnoticed because it’s a busy class. … I want to tailor a programme for each of my clients so they get the most out of each session and see and feel an improvement in their bodies.
How I like to teach
I set this studio up because I wanted to teach Pilates the way I think it works best: one person at a time, with somebody watching properly.
In a class you get a plan that has to suit everybody, which means it can’t quite suit anybody. One to one, we start from your goals — the hill you want to walk up, the desk that’s wrecking your neck — and we build the hour around that. If you turn up stiff and tired, we change it.
I’d rather you did five movements well than twenty badly, and I’ll say so. You get corrections all the way through, because that’s what you’re paying for. And you get the same teacher every week, who remembers what we did last time.
Where it started
I first started mat Pilates when I lived in Portugal and noticed how it was transforming my body. I then moved on to Reformer as I found it gave me an extra challenge — and I’ve been addicted to it ever since. My core is really strong now and my posture has improved dramatically.
The room you’ll be working in
It’s a room at my home in Harrogate, set up for reformer work. Quiet, warm, plenty of light, and no queue for the machine.
Sessions are by appointment, and you’re the only person in the room.
I’ll send you the address once your session is in the diary.
