These strong, strict yet graceful qualities can also be found also in Pilates, therefore when the time came to retrain on the mat it felt natural and destined and so my love for movement continued. </p><p>I’m always in awe of how amazing our bodies are and what we can achieve. In my classes expect to build strength, explore mobility and find that core connection enabling a lifetime of all the different activities you love. As a strong believer that exercise really can give you that `feel good` feeling, the hardest part is showing up, the rest is history! </p><p></p><p><strong>* In booking a ticket, you are opting into the Fora Events mailing list.
