ONE : ONE SESSIONS
My movement classes are a fusion of all my experience gained as a professional dancer, pilates instructor and mindful movement coach. Each class has a foundation in functional movement: pilates, yoga and barre which are then interwoven with flow and inspiration from dance and choreography.
All classes are hosted live on Zoom. No props are essential to take this class, however, a yoga mat, small pilates ball, terraband and small weights are great props to use if you have them.
I am in continuous fascination with the human body. I am constantly learning, whilst evolving my methodologies and broadening my repertoire so that I can give you the best attention possible.
My ONE : ONE sessions are tailored to the unique needs and wishes of my clients.
We will discuss beforehand what you wish to work on. You will receive personalized training sessions on which we will build on over time. Each session lasts 1 hour.

Also I’m a beginner and I feel it’s always easy to keep up which is super motivating because you can finish each class without pausing. The Movement Program is very versatile and I love Simone’s teaching style! I always felt refreshed and accomplished after each class and Simone’s voice is very soothing ”

“This was the first time I have participated in an online movement programme. I enjoyed the pilates stretch classes the most because they triggered smiles and laughs and it felt great.”

Simone is an exceptional teacher: she is intuitive, considerate and adapts her style to her client - and I know this because she teaches other members of my family with very different aims to mine. My sessions with Simone have been life changing. I am so much more connected with my body and my mind. Simone has been able to help not only with aching shoulders and stiff hips but also with relaxation, calming anxiety and feeling grounded. Simone takes a very professional approach and continually updates her knowledge with regular courses. I cannot recommend her enough.”

‘I first met Simone in person at her classes some years ago- and I knew I needed her exceptional skills to help my post-natal recovery. Pilates with Simone- even through an online class- feels like some sort of magic where you’ve received a massage! The class was gentle enough for recovery yet felt like a good workout - feeling instantly stronger with a new body awareness. Through her skill and intuition, Simone truly understands the body both physically and energetically and is sensitively tuned to its needs. She held space with emotional support along with the physical- the body can release so much in a class!

Through working with Simone I have learned skills to carry beyond the sessions. Having had bad posture and medical back issues my whole life, I was very excited to report back to Simone how even shortly after working with her I had begun to receive compliments on my posture- no small feat when also carrying a rather big baby! I hope to work with Simone again soon and wholeheartedly would recommend her to anyone- even if you’ve tried Pilates before.’
