Having studied the Pilates method of exercise for some years, it was on discovering the STOTT PILATES ® method that Clare took the decision to train as an instructor at the STOTT PILATES ® studios in Oxford. For Clare "...Pilates is the most complete form of exercise. I feel it strengthens and tones my body, keeps me flexibile, delays the ageing process and relaxes my mind." Clare urges anyone who has not tried Pilates to give it a go. As a form of exercise it suits almost everyone. STOTT PILATES ® have created an extensive repertoire of exercises with a huge array of modifications, enabling their instructors to teach people from all walks of life. As a mother of two young children Clare has now trained in pre and post-natal Pilates.
