about
Hello, I am Claire,
I am the founder and lead instructor of HB Studios. I didn’t start my career as a Pilates instructor. I have worked in many high pressured roles, but since falling in love with Pilates, I have come to understand how moving your body helps to decompress at the end of the day, and how starting your day with movement helps energise you for the rest of the day.
Pilates works your whole body and is gentle on your joints. As I’ve grown older, I’ve realised that’s important. I still have many decades of life ahead of me, and I need my body to last!
Moving for Life
It is important to work on mobility and stability. Both these are covered in our Pilates classes.
Building Strength and Stability
And I realise that my mind, my body and my breath are all connected. When I work on my body and my breath during a Pilates session, it lifts and supports my mental wellbeing too.
Connecting Body, Breath, and Mind
goals
It’s all about you, and what you need
My goals and approach as a Pilates instructor
01
I check in with you before we start, to make sure I know about any injuries or issues.
02
I actively monitor your alignment during exercise, to ensure that your muscles are getting the most out of the exercise and to prevent injuries.
03
Above all, I make it fun. Good music, but not too loud. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. A place you can relax and enjoy yourself as well as work out.
Not sure whether Pilates is for you? Come for a single session. It’s a low-risk way to find out.
