Ellie found her passion in Pilates several years ago, after struggling to find an exercise ‘routine’ that didn’t feel just like that.. a routine. Enter Pilates - a full body sculpt, the mindful pilates burn, music to float away to and a few giggles along the way, is exactly what you’ll find in all of Ellie’s classes, leaving you feeling taller, breathing easier and loving your daily workout.
Ellie has been a Pilates instructor for a number of years, initially qualified through Studio Pilates and continues to up skill with PITC to bring fresh ideas into the studio, ensuring she can continue to see her clients through the many stages of life.
