Clinical PilatesWith 10 years experience in Sports Rehabilitation, Sarah can provide safe and effective Pilates exercises to clients whatever their needs. Clinical Pilates allows for all poses to be modified to suit you. Everyone is different, joint movement can vary and muscle length will change from person to person so it is unreasonable to expect everyone to do the same exercise all the time. Sarah will show you the most appropriate version of the exercise for your needs. Sports RehabilitationSarah is a graduate Sports Rehabilitator and specialises in musculoskeletal conditions and uses this to her advantage when delivering Pilates classes.  Calm Your MindPilates not only helps improve your body, but also helps with mindfulness, relaxation and focus. It is important to take a break from daily life in order to focus on yourself and get clarity. Focusing on your breath during practice is key to staying in tune with your mind and body.  Sarah Hall is a Clinical Pilates Instructor and Sports Rehabilitator, she has been working in private practice for 10 years.
