JOYCE OMOTOLA
Saturday
I’m a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, pre and postnatal specialist and Pilates instructor. I love what I do and adore that fact that there was many incredible ways to challenge your body.
I love teaching Pilates because of the deeper mind body connection you cultivate when moving the body. As a trainer with a background in strength training, it’s wonderful to teach clients that less can be so much more.
Pilates and its ability to connect you to your body, improve coordination, focus while also improving your posture, core stability and balance is a game changer.

MADELAINE SMITH CANHAM
Saturdays
Hi, Im Madeleine and I am a classically trained reformer and mat pilates instructor, from Leicestershire. Being a professional ballet dancer for the last five years has given me an in-depth understanding of the body and its need for care and attention to detail. I started mat pilates at the age of fourteen during my training at ballet school. I was later introduced to reformer at the age of seventeen after struggling with an achilles injury. Now in my professional career, I couldn’t and wouldn’t want to imagine not incorporating pilates into my daily life. I have adopted a love for teaching all levels, especially with a good stretch to finish each class. You can never go wrong with positive and warming environment. In my spare time, I love to explore the outdoors with my dog and go on hikes I also love a good run and spending time with friends. I can’t wait to meet you all!

PAULA THOMAS

At the age of 40 I attended my first Pilates mat class in SE Asia where I used to live. I immediately loved it and I was blessed with having amazing teachers.
To my great surprise, not long after I started Pilates, I was told I should teach it.
A few years later I moved to the Middle East and at the age of 45 I became a Stott Pilates Certified instructor as well as a LesMills Cycling instructor, Xtend Barre and Exercise to Music
I started teaching immediately after completing my courses.
I took up running and within 2 months run a half marathon in 2 hours and did a sprint triathlon days after my 46 birthday.
I have now been back in London for the last 8 years and at the end of 2021 I completed my 200 hours Yoga TT , just after I turned 54.
My philosophy is that age is technically just a number as if you set your mind to it you can achieve your any goals you set yourself.
I am very focused on technique, alignment, body and mind awareness because that is the way to start, build and progress in any discipline.
I am passionate about travel and tropical climates are my favorite.
I do not come from an early fitness background as I studied French and English Law at Uni, moved to London for a good decade and worked in 5* Park Lane hotel chains.
Because I am an ‘all around’ my background and experience reflect in my classes as well as my own discipline to perform exercises to my own high standards.
My classes are fun, engaging and knowledgable.
