Clients Say...

Just over a year ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. I was feeling fragile physically and mentally. At this time, as chance would have it, a leaflet advertising Pilates came through the door from Shirley Jeffers. So I rang her and she has visited me regularly since then.

She is always punctual, positive and cheerful. Her teaching of Pilates has been inspiring, encouraging, informative, challenging and humorous. I enjoy the exercise and practice regularly. Pilates has helped me to relax and regain my confidence. My posture has improved, as has my balance and strength. It makes me feel more alive.

Shirley has helped me with the special problems relating to Parkinson’s and I cannot thank her enough. I am pleased to recommend Shirley as a teacher and Pilates itself as a means to a healthier life.

I attended Shirley’s Pilates classes on a Wednesday evening for eighteen months.

I have a family history of sciatica and the benefits of strengthening my back muscles were very noticeable after the Pilates classes. I also experienced well-being and relaxation after a lesson. I enjoyed the small friendly classes and the attention given by Shirley.

I have been to Shirley Pilates classes for the last couple of years and in that time have not only enjoyed the company January 17, 2010iastic, motivated and knowledgeable and I definitely feel that the combination of exercise, movement, and breathwork have improved my general posture and awareness of the body and muscles (ones I did not know I had).

I was very pleased to find a local Pilates teacher and very impressed by the information asked for in writing about my health before I could go along for my first class. I found the classes very helpful and not at all intimidating and whilst there were clearly different levels of people present Shirley gave us all equal care and attention. I enjoyed the classes and began to find my body could do more than I thought it could through gently following the exercises Shirley showed us and talked us through. It is clear how much Shirley knows about Pilates and the benefits and for those reasons she is an excellent teacher.
