What Our Customers Say

I have attended Michelle's pilates sessions for the last couple of months and long may they continue! Michelle's is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and she does her very best to help every single student. Her sessions are fantastic. Michelle has helped me to improve no end and she has highlighted some techniques which I haven't been doing well for years! I leave each session feeling like I am calm and relaxed as well as fully toned and exercised.

Pilates

Just wanted you to know: I have been to many yoga classes over years. All are so different and I'm certainly not an expert, but having discovered your classes in Slaithwaite, I can honestly say, for me, it is the best yoga class I have ever been to. You are so welcoming, friendly, and supportive. There is scope for different levels and needs with the right amount of challenge which helps me see improvement in my own body each week. I really appreciate how you keep your eye on us all in order to help us. I love your choice of music and your link to spirituality and positive affirmation. This sets me up for the rest of the day. Thank you.

Yoga

I really enjoyed the online Pilates class led by Michelle. Although I wasn't sure if it would be for me, I actually found it so useful. Michelle went out of her way to cater for all levels of ability in her class and adapted some of the exercises for people like me who are not very fit! She was also so encouraging, positive and helpful that I looked forward to the class each week.

Online Pilates

I am really enjoying the sessions with Michelle that she is running through my work. I think she is a brilliant teacher and I have really been inspired by her sessions and found a love of yoga!! She is patient and goes at a steady pace which suits me, and she can correct my posture etc through the online setting. The classes have really helped me through this time to support my wellbeing. It is something I will carry on into the future.

Yoga For Posture

My husband and I join Michelle for the Activity for Health and also for Yoga for Mobility. He has history of strokes and I have osteoporosis, so we need to exercise. This is brilliant because we do it by zoom from home in these times where we have to isolate. Michelle is so lovely - patient, kind and very knowledgeable. We feel much better after a class both physically and emotionally - the group us lovely too. Great to meet up and share exercise and a chat. Why not join a zoom class until the real one can start again in the future?

Yoga For Mobility

I'm really enjoying the Activity for Health class and the Yoga for Mobility. In both classes you work at your own pace, if you can do the exercises standing that's fine but it's equally fine if you need to sit. I have several health problems and would struggle to cope with a normal fitness class, but these classes are ideal to keep me moving and getting my body to do some strengthening work. Michelle is very helpful and encouraging, working with you at whatever level you're at.

Activity For Health

I like doing yoga before work, as it sets me up nicely for the day. Chance to get moving and stretch. Great accessible stretching for a lunch time break

The Wake Up Yoga

I have attended Michelle’s online yoga classes whilst in lockdown. Michelle is a great guide, friendly and always gives great advice on positions and general well-being. I generally tend to go for the higher paced workout classes, but I have found yoga to be a fantastic exercise class and the relaxation to end the sessions is amazing! Highly recommended.

Online Yoga Classes

Great accessible stretching for a lunch time break Targeted my back, shoulders and sitting which was very useful. Getting me moving from my desk at lunch time. Like the variations of Yoga moves

Yoga For Posture

I felt really include It’s fab. I feel emotionally and physically uplifted More flexible and promoted a good feeling The tutor tailored the exercises to my ability. Like the variations of Yoga moves

Specialist Bespoke Yoga And Exercise

I have been attending Michelle’s yoga classes online. I have found her classes to be incredibly relaxing and calming, which has really helped with my wellbeing. Michelle’s friendly, gentle, adaptive approach, combined with her great knowledge, skill and teaching style has been very inspirational. She takes time to explain and correct your poses. I would highly recommend her classes.
