About Rebecca
Hi there, I‘m Rebecca, certified mat Pilates Teacher. I am also a certified Stretch Coach, Breath Coach, and Nutritional Therapist.
I discovered Pilates several years ago and haven't looked back since. Through my Pilates practice I have become stronger, fitter and more physically capable than ever before, whilst also cultivating the mind-body connection. I decided to train as a Pilates Teacher in order to teach others the amazing benefits of this practice.
I also teach Stretch Classes to improve mobility and flexibility. These classes involve holding long, passive stretches in order to improve mobility and range of motion. This can be extremely beneficial as a supplementary exercise practice.
My mission is to empower clients to love movement.
Currently I teach Group and 1:1 Pilates Classes, and Stretch Classes in North Lanarkshire, Glasgow, and surrounding areas of Scotland.
Registered associate member of The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).
About Pilates
"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness" Joseph Pilates
Pilates is a holistic exercise system designed to elongate, strengthen and restore the body to balance. It is much more than building a "strong core" or "perfect posture". It is a whole body workout, in my classes most exercises are performed on the mat, sometimes involving small equipment.
Pilates is effective at addressing underlying structural imbalances which can hinder movement and cause pain.
The whole body is considered, muscles are lengthened and strengthened improving posture & overall fitness. There is also a focus on breath, and mind-body connection.
Pilates can help you:
- Improve fitness levels, health and posture
- Aid with rehabilitation after pregnancy, illness, injury or surgery
- Improve mobility and range of motion
- Increase strength by lengthening and building muscle
- Build core strength and stability
- Improve breathing
- Make you feel really good!
The list of benefits could go on and on...
Regardless of age, experience or fitness level Pilates is suitable for everyone.
If you haven't tried it already, give it a go, it really could change your life.

About Stretch
"If your spine is stiff at 30, you are old. If it is flexible at 60, you are young." Joseph Pilates
Stretch classes are mat based, targeted mobility training that help with stiff back, locked up hips, tight hamstrings and more. Classes involve a flow of exercises that hold long, passive stretches.
The Three Principles:
Wet Noodle
Muscles stretch best when relaxed so when you train for flexibility you attempt to relax as much as possible into the stretch. Think "wet noodle"!
Breathing
4:8 breathing is practised throughout. Inhaling through the nose for a count of 4, and out through the mouth for a count of 8. This helps to turn off the body's stretch reflex, stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and relieve muscle tension.
Hold Time
Time under passive tension is practised, therefore, the stretches are timed. Typical hold times are 2-5 minutes.
