Pilates with Iona
About Me
Hi everyone!
I'm Iona, a Level 3 Matwork Pilates teacher, Pre and Postnatal Specialist and Back4Good Practitioner with Body Control Pilates. I am passionate about movement and the outdoors and you can usually find me out walking my dog or being interrupted by her during a live online class!
I first discovered the benefits of Pilates when I was suffering with severe back pain. The more Pilates I did, the more my pain eased. Before long, Pilates became an integral part of my weekly routine. Now, not only do I practise Pilates to avoid pain and injuries, but also to feel stronger and more mobile in my body.
I would love to be part of your Pilates journey and help you towards your goals, whether it be pain management, core strength and stability or supporting your athletic goals.
I provide both online and offline classes so there is something to suit everyone. If you can't make the live online classes but would like to practise in the comfort of your own home, why not purchase some recorded live classes? This way you can feel like you're in a live class and use the feedback given to others to help support your practice.
If you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you!

"Having previously been quite reluctant to do Pilates (as I generally prefer to get a sweat on), Iona's classes have made me appreciate the importance of slow, controlled movements. It has made me so much more aware of my body and how Pilates can help with pain management, recovery and most importantly for me, getting me more mobile to better perform in my sport. As a physio, I would highly recommend!"

"Pilates with Iona is the only class that I actually look forward to doing. It's so refreshing to join an online class where you don't feel the pressure to perform better than others but also where you are corrected in a constructive way that doesn't make you feel singled out. Iona describes each exercise well and her soothing voice makes you feel relaxed. We get the added benefit of seeing her dog, Zara, say hello in some of the classes which adds to the personal feel to the class. Thanks to Iona, all my niggling day to day pains in my neck, shoulders and back disappear after one of her classes and leave me feeling relaxed but also stretched and strengthened. I would highly recommend Iona to anyone with any level of experience."

“I couldn't recommend Pilates with Iona more! Her classes really help if you work a desk job or have tight hips from running like me. Iona brings a wealth of knowledge and is a friendly, calm instructor. With a focus on breathwork, strengthening the core and bringing your body into alignment, this is always a lovely, relaxing class with the options to challenge yourself.”
