Thankyou Vicky. Happy New Year.
The new calendar is just what I needed to motivate me to get back on my mat after a nasty bout of flu that wiped out Christmas! Thank you for the new classes Vicky, I’m looking forward to the rest of the calendar. Happy New Year to you and the family. Marilyn xx

You’re very welcome. 🙂
I am so happy to find this class. I live rurally and dont want to travel, but was recommended that I start pilates to help with my back pain. Now I can do it from my home.
What a lovely and thoughtful class. Not done Pilates for a long time, but thoroughly enjoyed the class. Thank you Vicky x
Lovely class. Very enjoyable and just what I need to get my body moving. Thanks
