I would recommend Meghan to anyone
“I have been benefiting from Meghan’s Pilates classes for over 18 months now. She is a wonderful teacher - knowledgeable, patient, gives clear instructions and is a lovely person too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Meghan to anyone.” Kay
lower back
“I have suffered from lower back problems for over 30 years and after surgery to address a prolapsed disc the consultant suggested I try Pilates to strengthen my core. I joined Meghan’s Beginner / Improver Pilates class, having had almost no prior Pilates experience and two years later I am a regular. Thanks to Meghan I am now a convert to Pilates and will always factor it into my exercise routines. I only wish I had discovered it earlier.” John
