Matilda fell in love with Pilates as an antidote to a busy, stressful, surging London lifestyle. She found her time on the Reformer would still her mind and strengthen her body. Studying as a Dynamic Reformer Pilates Instructor in late 2019 cemented her practise and passion. During the Pandemic, Matilda took Pilates online - creating ‘Pilates in the Wild’ an online community that grew throughout Lockdowns. She delivered sessions and workouts from a square-metre of grass in Harringey, to half-built barns in the French countryside, to an organic farm in Stroud to an infamous, historic country pub, where the London girl became a Landlady. She teaches Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates and is training to teach Aerial Pilates. Matilda can promise you’ll find a fiery, free-spirited energy in all her classes, and leave feeling challenged and energised. Outside of the studio, she can be found hiking the hills of the Cotswolds, trying as many restaurants as will have her and is taking her Level 2 Award in Wines.

Helena means in ancient Greek ‘Bringer of Light’. She grew up in Clifton, Bristol, spent time in Ecuador, Japan and Belgium, though her main home is Cheltenham. Whilst living in Japan as a young woman she was influenced by their Buddhist and Shinto traditions. Back in England Helena trained as a Personal Trainer and Aerobics Instructor. This lead to her interest about how the mind effects the body and vice versa, and I became a Neuro Linguistic Programming Therapist. Following this Helena’s wellbeing and happiness profoundly shifted when then studied Nutritional Healing. Her regular Yoga practise progressed to her training in India as a teacher. She is very grateful to her Yoga teachers in India for inspiring her to share her light, be authentic and live her life with purpose and service. Helena loves teaching Yoga and Meditation. For her Yoga is a lifestyle, She does not just teach a set of stretches, She shares ways of releasing tension, connecting to yourself, becoming more spiritual, mindful, confident, kind and compassionate.
