Client, Johannesburg
“Ceilidh’s knowledge of the human body is what gives her the edge, enabling her to adapt to individual needs to allow her clients the true benefit of Pilates. With one session she is able to begin the process of changing the way you move your body, making you want to go back for more. Her passion for what she does is evident, her sessions are fun but challenging and are everything you need to get the most out of your body. The best instructor I know.”
“I spent four incredible years having one-to-one classes with Ceilidh and although I sweated and swore I always left her studio feeling incredibly stretched, open and sporting a great posture for the day.She is thorough and knowledgeable and her technique was always flawless. I have been plagued by many sports injuries and Ceilidh not only managed to provide me with a good, safe workout despite my injury, she always managed to help me rehabilitate the area through the correct strengthening exercises. My Body, in particular my core, is so much stronger and I am no longer plagued by so many aches and pains. Most importantly, I know how to deal with niggles by using my pilates stretches and exercises to open up my body. More than an instructor, ceilidh is a great friend who takes her pilates very seriously but also has a fabulous sense of humour. Her classes are always challenging, fun and truly effective ”

She makes the classes fun and energetic and you are always treated with warmth and compassion. Personally she has expertly diagnosed my problem areas and done rehab with me and I always felt so much better afterwards”
“What Pilates has done for me,Coming from a ballet background, the lengthening, stretching movements in Pilates is what my body thirsts for. Unfortunately, I have not listened to my body for the last 10 years and I have had to unpack a lot of emotional and physical damage that I have been carrying. Pilates is helping me with this. I have been pounding my body with weights and running long distances for way too long. Not listening to my body screaming in pain, I have done such severe damage to the whole right hand side of my body. I have managed to hurt my QL, hip flexor, as well as my sciatic nerve. I arrived at Pilates with such sciatic pain with my whole right side - from my neck right down to my leg - in agony. I have also never managed to loose the weight after having my children.The focused breathing and stretching is enabling me to release all the toxic energy I have been carrying for way too long. I have been doing Pilates since November 2017 and I am going from strength to strength.I have learned to listen to my body and how to unpack the damage I have done that caused my muscles to shorten, shrink and retract. With small changes to my movements & my own body strength I am changing the old memories of the pain in my muscles into laughter & releasing tears of relief.I am seeing and hearing thing so differently, in our crazy, cruel, beautiful world. I am full of Length, Love & Loyalty towards Pilates. With the help of my incredible instructor I am healing my body and, more importantly, my soul. Feeling so peaceful & blessed. Thank you Ceilidh and Pilates”
