Founded in 2003, Vanessa Smith Pilates has been operating from its present location since 2016. The studio is fully equipped, providing clients with the necessary support and challenge of Pilates equipment-based work and mat classes, both in group settings and one-on-one sessions.
Vanessa Smith Pilates also offers Feldenkrais classes, which aim to improve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Based on the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, this method utilises movement, perception, and imagination to achieve profound results effortlessly and often immediately. Online classes are available via Zoom to accommodate the ongoing global pandemic, ensuring that clients can continue to engage in their fitness and well-being routines from the comfort of their own homes.
In addition to Pilates and Feldenkrais classes, the studio also features the expertise of Annette Weir, a colleague of Vanessa Smith, who offers osteopathy and Pilates. This combination of therapies provides a holistic approach to health and wellness.
Vanessa Smith Pilates takes pride in offering comprehensive teacher training courses. The Pilates Matwork Teacher Training Course is designed to equip learners with the skills necessary for a successful career as a Pilates matwork teacher. For those who have already completed their matwork training, the Pilates Apparatus Teacher Training Course is available, focusing on further developing skills specific to working with Pilates equipment.
Pilates Mat Classes at Vanessa Smith Pilates are renowned for their ability to tone and lengthen muscles, creating a balanced body. These classes are known to improve posture, increase strength and flexibility, and are particularly beneficial for rehabilitation purposes, including the management of back pain. For those seeking a more personalised approach, Equipment Classes are available. Pilates equipment helps facilitate movements that may be challenging on the mat and adds an extra level of challenge to movements that can already be achieved.
Each client receives an individualised programme tailored to their specific needs.
