Cloud started going to pilates as a client back in 2007 due to chronic back pain. Discovering that Pilates strengthened her body, lessened her pain and gave her back the joy of movement, she became hooked, and 10 years later decided to undertake her teacher training to share Pilates to the rest of the world! Before then and for over 15 years, Cloud was a Global Advertising Director, so she has a good understanding of how the body reacts to long hours in the office. Now with her Pilates knowledge, she can help you to release any tension and strengthen your body, to not only look good, but withstand all types of environments. 

Since 2017, Cloud has been a fully qualified Mat Pilates Instructor, and in the last 3 years, she has also been teaching the Reformer. Cloud teaches mixed ability classes with a focus on the breath to connect students to the optimum level of their own body movement and mind control. Her classes start off slow and work up to a dynamic, powerful class with suitable modifications along the way to tailor to individual needs and allow you to work at your own level.

Pilates and Reformer is best known for strengthening the core, so if it’s strong abs you are looking for, look no further than Clouds’ classes!

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.

Physical and mental wellbeing have been a passion for Lola for as long as she can remember. There’s no better feeling than when I’m moving and challenging my body. Lola is not only a strong advocate of the immense physical benefits of Pilates but also of the mental strength it builds. After undergoing major surgery in 2020, Pilates became invaluable for her rehabilitation process; being especially drawn to the low-impact nature and breath-focussed essence of Pilates. After experiencing, first hand, the transformative powers of Pilates, Lola is passionate about helping others experience the life-changing benefits of a consistent practice, or at the very least, help clients feel good in their bodies.
