"The best so far after trying so many places in London. Marie Louise makes me feel very comfortable and her ability to details make a big difference in my performance. A regular client for sure."

"Marie-Louise is a warm-hearted, considerate and passionate Pilates and Yoga teacher. Her ability to meet my physical capacities combined with her observational eye made me feel completely safe to work on my long-term shoulder injury. Her spot-on adjustments and the well-planned program have had a very positive effect, strengthening my shoulders, without aggravating the existing strain. Also, I appreciate the way Marie-Louise always connects the group of exercises to the whole body and the breath, which allows the slow reintegration of the injured part into my moving experience. I am very grateful to be working with her!"

"I have had a few wonderful sessions with Marie-Louise. She has a spiritual way about her teaching which makes for a calming session whilst getting a good workout! Would highly recommend!"

"Marie-Louise takes great care and attention to creating her classes and making sure they are adapted to your body's specific needs. I have been to Pilates and Gyro sessions for some years and all over the world and ML is one of the best and most thorough teachers I have come across. Highly recommended"

"Using the Pilates reformer with Marie-Louise was just fantastic. I left feeling aligned, strong and lengthened after a seriously good work out. She demonstrates a genuine interest in her students as well as a clear understanding of the body's anatomy. She tailors each session to the specific requirements of the student, fine tuning exercises as the session develops. Her approach is calm, precise and motivating. Can't wait till our next session."

Sophie, Teacher

 

"Working with Marie-Louise on the Pilates reformer was just fabulous. I really enjoyed the session, she got me to work hard in areas I suspected I was specifically underdeveloped in, and challenged me at exactly the right level to leave me feeling good, but like I'd still worked hard. Throughout the session, under her attentive eye, she adjusted and adapted as our session progressed so I felt our work was very tailored and spoke to my habituated patterns of movement and helped explore them. I left with my spine, pelvis and sacrum feeling beautifully stable and integrated, which is exactly why I came to her in the first place. Marie-Louise embodies the discipline so well, her poise and precision are inspiring; I can’t wait to work with her again."

"Working out with Marie-Louise is so much fun! At our first session she did an assessment with me which formed the basis of her tailor made exercise programme for me, so we can work exactly on the areas that I need. Marie-Louise is very articulate with her instructions and offers assists to help me feel the exercises more. Depending on how I feel on the day, she can either work me very hard so that I break a sweat, or help me relax and feel more centred. Her love for Pilates shines through which makes her an excellent and dedicated teacher who always makes sure that I get the most out of my sessions with her. Be warned - she will always pick up on sloppy form and won’t have none of that on her watch!"

"Marie-Louise’s yoga-core class is a perfect balance of calming and energising practice. She is a very knowledgeable teacher and explains the postures clearly. Many exercises have an easier and a more advanced version - so depending on how you are feeling, you can combine them to suit your level. I came out of the class feeling taller and lighter and I will definitely be going again. A great way to start the weekend!"

Edina, Intermediate student

 

"I had been considering taking up yoga and Pilates classes for some time but was never sure which type was the suitable one for me, then Marie-Louise's "yoga-core" grabbed my attention because of the special accent on strengthening the core and the particular attention to meditation throughout the classes.
Being a complete beginner, I was a little concerned about the physical side of it but Marie-Louise's gentle approach, enabling the participants to follow their pace and her flexibility in choosing the level of difficulty suitable for the specific group of people present at any of the classes, proved very reassuring.
I really enjoy my "yoga-core" classes and can already see positive results in both my mind and body."

Irena, Beginner student

 

"I totally recommend Marie-Louise's yoga-core class.  It stretched me out and lengthened me really nicely and was both relaxing and challenging."

Christina, Intermediate student

​

"I thought Marie-Louise’s yoga-core class was really lovely and well thought out.  It offered a balanced core workout, incorporating a mixture of pilates and yoga principles, with a dash of zen elements thrown in!  The sequencing had been methodically planned - so important when doing a class such as this."

Cassie, Intermediate Student

 

“I often zone out during Pilates classes but I found your approach very engaging and I remained present right the way through - and now, I feel great (even my lower back feels better).  Thank you.”

Brendan, experienced Beginner

 

“Your (Pilates) class is hard, but good!  I’ve never felt my bottom like this before!

Suki, experienced Beginner

 

“I mostly do cardio, weights and martial arts and I’ve been impressed how I can break a sweat and work all the muscle groups whilst doing such a calm, precise (yoga-core) class.  A satisfying workout in its own right - more men should try it!”

Oliver, Beginner student

 

“I really like how you focus on the breath.  Not all Pilates teachers do this but it really helps me focus and improve my technique.  Your class can be challenging but I feel great now.”

Mary, experienced Beginner

 

“I appreciate your gentle approach and your passion about your work really comes across.”

Lucia, Intermediate student

 

“A fantastic whole body workout in just one hour.  I enjoy the class for its own sake and I feel the benefits (a clearer mind and elevated mood) for the rest of the day too.”
