About Josie
Hello! I’m a Mat Pilates instructor (L3) with 40 years of experience and training in health, fitness and movement. My teaching style is clear, therapeutic and highly personalised. As well as offering Pilates classes for the beginner to advanced client, I specialise in exercise adaptation for common health conditions, postural assessment & adjustment and help with back pain.
Identifying postural compensations and working on more efficient movement patterns via appropriate exercises is key to helping clients move with confidence, comfort and ease. Back care has always been in demand and 50+ fitness is an area of increasing popularity to help us maintain our mobility and independence.
My approach is calm, supportive and tailored to each individual, offering modifications or progressions where required. By integrating breath, alignment, nervous system awareness and gentle somatic principles, I can help you improve posture, mobility, core strength and overall wellbeing.
Client safety is always my top priority. Every session is adapted to your health status, goals and movement ability.

Whether you’re dealing with a health condition, managing pain or stress, starting or returning to exercise, wanting better posture, or simply looking to feel stronger and more mobile, I’ll create a personalised programme that meets you exactly where you are.
We always start with a free 30 minute session in the form of a consultation where we can discuss your needs, goals and medical history where necessary. Thereafter, each online session is 60 minutes including feedback, either as a single class at a time or a block to ensure continuity and results.
What I Offer:
* Mat Pilates for all levels
* Back care & posture improvement
* Exercise adaptation for common health conditions & seniors
* Core strength, stability and balance
* Stress-reducing somatic movement (gentle, accessible)
* Pre/postnatal friendly adaptations and core healing
My teaching combines:
* clear, simple cueing
* alignment and breathwork
* safe progressions and modifications
* posture-focused adjustments
* functional strength and mobility
I help clients understand their bodies, move safely, and build strength without strain. My goal is always pain-free movement, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I go to Josie's Pilates classes whenever I can and what really sets her apart from other instructors is her attention to alignment, posture and technique. She has excellent observation skills and her hands-on adjustments ensure I'm doing the exercise correctly which makes it feel more effective and safe.
Highly recommended.I have known Josie for a few years and have always admired the impressive depth of her knowledge and thoroughly professional approach to her teaching. She was the first person I turned to when I started to struggle with flexibility and back pain when playing golf. She quickly identified the root of the problem and put me to work on muscle imbalance. The clarity of her teaching and what was required to put things right gave me confidence to push through and I am now pain free thanks to her fabulous techniques. She is the complete professional.
I first met Josie over 30 years ago when I started attending her classes. We still work together on-line to help relieve the discomfort I have with Osteoporosis and to improve my upper body posture. What I love about her teaching is her positive and encouraging attitude. We’ve become great friends over the years and I am so grateful for those tiny adjustments and the advice that she gave me that made such a big difference to my life. I can thoroughly recommend Josie’s classes to students of all ages.
I found one of Josie's courses online & loved her clear and simple style of teaching. I will continue with her courses as it has made such a difference to my posture and general wellbeing.
Josie is an amazing teacher with many years of experience. I feel in very safe hands on my fitness quest.View more recommendations
