Testimonials
Jonathan, Bodyworker
Anything created and hosted by Fiona Palmer is a must, she brings her passion, experience and knowledge and from research some of the big thinkers into the classroom. You will leave with a new understanding and with some infectious enthusiasm to delve deeper into this exciting and rewarding area of work.
Balancing the Diaphragms
Pilates has strengthened my body in an even way from top to toes! It has greatly improved my general fitness, balance and wellbeing, particularly my core, lower back, hips and buttocks. Each exercise is explained and your movement is checked. Zoom classes have been a real boost to everyone. You can do one class or as many as fit your day.

Jackie, Client
Just a brilliant way to stay fit, strong and healthy. Fiona is a great teacher even with the constraints that covid has put on us all. With the health issues I have had this year I can honestly say without Fiona I would not be walking today. I have a strong body due to my pilates training and of course, sheer bloody mindedness. Thanks Fi. You are my hero.
