Orchid Holistic Fitness

Really good classes, Jo is a great teacher and gives individual support and advice during the class. Jo has improved my overall understanding of Pilates and its benefits on my body.

I have been doing pilates for a number of years with different teachers and am so pleased to have found Jo's pilates class. Each session begins with a clear overview on what we are going to be covering. Jo is also mindful of any health conditions and will frequently give alternative moves to reflect this. Since doing these classes my core strength has improved and so has my back condition. I cannot recommend these classes enough. More...

Orchid Pilates offers online classes taught by a well-qualified, experienced, professional tutor. Every class is well-planned individually and forms part of a programme designed to work on every part of the body over time. The tutor demonstrates, breaks down and explains every move in detail and observes participants to check that each one performs the moves in the way that is most beneficial to their body. She carefully monitors participants and suggests adjustments and adaptations aimed at improving personal performance and achievement. She challenges participants but also encourages everyone to try alternatives so that everyone feels their effort at every level is valuable and worthwhile. The classes are thoughtfully taught by a careful, very knowledgeable tutor who has a thorough understanding of bio-mechanics and individual bodily quirks and for whom the safety and well-being of every participant is a top priority at all times.

Jo is a wonderful and experienced Pilates teacher whose zoom classes sustained my spirits and sanity during lockdown. She is fantastic in encouraging you to do your best and recognise your own efforts.

Can't recommend Orchid pilates highly enough. I joined with a big shoulder problem (caused by not being shown how to use equipment properly at a gym) and she's helped me regain it's use. Small classes, exercises adjusted to your needs and gradual development to the next level. Jo is a superb teacher. Book a class and see :) More...

Since doing Pilates with Jo I am able to stretch just that bit further it really does make a difference. Jo is very good at judging the ability of her students and takes the lesson at the pace we can all achieve.
