Ostara Pilates

★★★★★

“Despite my initial slight apprehension that I would find Pilates a challenge due to previous sporting injuries, I found it not only stimulating and invigorating, but extremely enjoyable. I am sure this was due to Julie's very knowledgeable and relaxed teaching style, giving the rationale behind each movement. I find it much better doing something if I understand why I am doing it and how it works. Julie has clearly studied anatomy and movement in great depth, as her understanding of these and how best to apply them was outstanding. Having undertaken both mat-work and Reformer Pilates with Julie I cannot recommend her highly enough. If she can get a past-it Orthopaedic Surgeon moving, she is clearly doing an excellent job!!”

“Julie at Ostara Pilates is a true master of her craft. She has superior knowledge of all things Pilates and women’s health and has guided me through pre and post natal Pilates with my daughters. The perfect balance of professionalism, kindness and humour, Julie has an amazing way of making everyone around her feel relaxed and seen. I would recommend Julie’s classes to anyone at any stage of their Pilates journey!”

“Julie combines technical skill with a real passion for movement, making her classes an absolute joy. She provides clear and insightful cues that help you connect with your body and understand the purpose behind each movement and exercise. I’ve worked with Julie throughout my Pilates journey -from complete beginner, through my post natal phase and now in more advanced mat and reformer work- and she always provides thoughtful adaptations to make her classes accessible, whilst challenging you to grow and achieve your own goals.”
