MOVEMENT FOR LIFE

“If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young”

Joseph Pilates

I have been practising Pilates for over 25 years. I love the way the practice makes me feel strong and capable, and so I completed my teacher training to share the benefits of Pilates with others. I love adapting the method to take account of clients’ personal needs. Having had lower back problems myself, I have experienced first-hand how Pilates can help to address injuries as well as improve confidence and mood.

 

I am Level 3 qualified mat Pilates teacher with the Pilates Foundation and CYQ and I am committed to ongoing professional development to support my clients. I believe in the value of the mind and body being in balance and see coaching and Pilates as complementary and beneficial to our overall wellbeing.

I am also a certified Buff Bones® instructor. The Buff Bones® workout for bone and joint health is an exercise system that uses varied and specific bone-strengthening and balance techniques which can benefit anyone and is also a safe option for people with osteoporosis. You can find more information about the system at www.Buff-Bones.com

I currently teach in-person Pilates classes in Lenzie and Bearsden, and you can book these at www.scpilates.co.uk. On a Monday evening at 6.30pm I teach a mixed ability Pilates class at The Balance Hub in Clydebank. Contact me to book your space at hello@keristewart.co.uk

 

I am also available for individual Pilates sessions in your home or my home in the Glasgow area or via Zoom. Individual sessions cost £45 per hour.

If you are interested in group Pilates or Buff Bones classes for your organisation, please get in touch at hello@keristewart.co.uk and I will be pleased to contact you to discuss your requirements.
