Our high-quality Balanced Body Pilates apparatus allows exercises to be adapted or progressed to suit your needs - whether you're recovering from injury, improving mobility or looking for a greater physical challenge.
During a course of studio classes, you'll work with equipment including Reformers, Cadillac and Towers, Exo and Combo Chairs and the Ladder Barrel. You may also use the Spine Corrector, Baby Arc, Foot Corrector, Toe Corrector or more!
With a maximum of just three participants, every session can be tailored to your individual needs. For more information visit the

Body Control Mat Master Teacher
Becoming a Body Control Mat Master Teacher means Hannah can safely teach Pilates matwork through to the advanced level, offering greater expertise when adapting Pilates for different abilities, from complete beginner to experienced practitioner.
In February 2025, 6 weeks before her Total Hip Replacement, Hannah performed the complete 'classical mat' series and demonstrated her ability to teach exercises within it at appropriate levels for different abilities. Having successfully completed the assessment, she was awarded the Mat Master Certificate, becoming one of only a small handful of teachers internationally to hold both this certificate and that of Studio Master Teacher.
Hannah says, "To gain this prestigious qualification is something I am proud of, but to do so shortly before undergoing major surgery feels like an additional achievement. I continue to be amazed by the power of Pilates and how it helps the body maintain strength when living with adversity, and how it helps the body to recover after trauma".
Total Body Walking Instructor
You can now join Hannah for Total Body Walking sessions, using the unique WALX Poles to turn your walk into a workout. Since qualifying as a Total Body Walking instructor in Spring 2025, Hannah has used the poles as an integral part of her successful recovery from her hip replacement and is passionate about their benefits.
Hannah leads a monthly weekend walk with Winchester Nordic Walking, for whom she also runs regular Power of the Poles beginner sessions. For more information, or to book a session visit

You can get more information on their solo travel, special interest holidays and book now for 2027 on their website.
Body Control Studio Master Teacher
In May 2024, Hannah reached the "summit of the Body Control Pilates education programme" by passing their Studio Master Teacher examination. This qualification demonstrates that Hannah can teach the full range of Pilates studio apparatus from beginner to advanced level. Hannah is proud to be one of only a few teachers to have attained this status.
Pilates with Aplomb retreats

We were blessed with gorgeous weather again, and in addition to 4 Pilates classes we headed out for a 4km Total Body Walk around the beautiful Godshill estate. Thanks as always go to Julie for the relaxing treatments and to Krista for the delicious food.
