THE PERFECTLY PILATES TEAM
We're Sarah & Glenn - friendly, welcoming & passionate Pilates Teachers & Therapists who are highly trained, experienced & fully-qualified.
We each fell in love with practicing Pilates and worked for years
on our own practice before deciding to teach this method to help others to feel, move, look & live better too.
While we each have our own unique style of teaching, we're both in agreement on our approach of always deepening our knowledge to help our clients get the best experience and results, while making it accessible and fun so classes become a beloved & essential part of life, never a chore. We're supportive & compassionate about our clients and their experiences, pain, abilities & limitations, and we know how to adapt & tailor movements so you can feel confident that you'll be safe with us.
Sarah
Sarah is the owner & our online teacher & Injury Rehab Coach at Perfectly Pilates.
Her classes are totally unique for a few reasons, one being that she teaches groups & 1:1 on Zoom from her widebeam canal boat around the UK and in nice weather, your classes will be live from her boat roof with the beautiful British countryside as the backdrop or some well-known city landmarks such as Windsor Castle, The RSC in Stratford Upon Avon, or the S.S. Great Britain in Bristol Harbour to name but a few of the places she visits and brings your Pilates class from. Our clients say this brings such added feelings of wellbeing and lightness with the colours, the greenery, birdsong and sounds of water as the soundtrack.
Sarah is also unique for her online teaching ability - she's known for explaining how a movement should feel when it's right and will feel when it needs adjusting, which really helps clients to feel it for themselves and get it so right even online. She's also incredibly supportive and trusted by our clients to help ease and improve just about any ailment, pain or injury.
And our clients really have tested her out from fused spines fixed with pins & cement, to sciatica, scoliosis, broken spines, shoulder dislocation rehab, frozen shoulder rehab, diastasis recti, pelvic-floor dysfunction, patella tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, arthritic toes, preventing hip-replacement surgery, as well as knee & hip-replacement surgery rehab.
She also supports people living with cancer, fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s Disease, recovering from Strokes, MS and other neurological conditions to improve cognitive ability, balance, co-ordination, mobility, strength, confidence and a better quality of life.
She says seeing people become more in control of their body as they build stability & strength, helps them to feel more confident and in control of their life and realise they CAN do something to help themselves. When faced with a difficult diagnosis, having a goal to focus positively on with professional support and encouragement is vital for mental and emotional wellness.
Contact us to find out more and book your group class or therapeutic online consultation.
Glenn
Glenn teaches our North East mat classes in Houghton-le-Spring.
Glenn also loves being on the water & he found Pilates when his white-water kayaking coach suggested he try it to help improve co-ordination, control, balance and agility with his water sports.
Learning the control, strength and flexibility that Pilates provides and the way it supports our body’s natural movement to prevent injuries is how Glenn fell love with the Method of Pilates.
His wholehearted dedication to the Method is shown in the way Glenn supports everyone from athletes and office workers, to busy mums and those wanting to stay active & healthy in their retirement. He loves seeing people becoming more free in their movement and having more control over their bodies as they begin to really understand how their body functions and get stronger.
Glenn is incredibly experienced having taught thousands of classes and with that many more thousands of people, giving him huge insight to issues that are both more common and those that are less well-known and perhaps more complex. He's helped people with a myriad of back and shoulder problems, knee and hip injuries, arthritis, and wear and tear pain. He encourages working to the ability that we can achieve with control and building up incrementally to best support long-term strength and less risk of future injury. He blends precision & fun, and our clients say he really knows how to get the best out of people, improving their practice, fitness, back pain, quality of life and their mood!
Book your Houghton-le-Spring class with Glenn today - you'll never look back.
