About Pilates

- Pilates can help you find, understand and maintain better posture.

- Pilates can help to relieve or reduce aches and pain associated with prolonged sitting and modern life (working from home and  screen use).

-Pilates strengthens and tones your body, building strength from within

- Move your spine and joints through normal ranges of movement, the aim being to improve or maintain range of joint motion.

- Pilates is suitable for all ages and abilities.

- Anti aging exercises for the spine and joints. "If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young" - Joseph Pilates.

- Particular attention in Pilates is paid to alignment, breathing and centring (stability training). The other  fundamentals of Body Control Pilates include  concentration, co-ordination, relaxation, flowing movements and stamina.

- Precise and controlled movements. Pilates is a very safe and effective way to exercise. "Be certain that you have your body under complete mental control".   Joseph Pilates: Return to Life.

- Pilates enhances performance in other sports or in daily activities. Pilates helps to reduce injury. 

- Pilates has a mindful approach that helps you better cope with stress and tension. "Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness" - Joseph Pilates

- Pilates will help you breathe more efficiently and improve core stability. "Before any real benefit can be derived from physical exercises, one must first learn how to breathe properly. Our very life depends on it"- Joseph Pilates. An hour to yourself, to connect your mind to your breathing and movement does the world of good for mental health.

- Pilates helps with balance and reduces the risk of falling as we get older. 

-"You will feel better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions" - Joseph Pilates. 
What will your new body be? More energy, less aches and pains, feeling stronger, better body shape, better posture and flexibility? 

About Anna Anscombe

Anna qualified as a Body Control Pilates Teacher (level 3) in February 2022. The renowned Body Control Pilates Method teaches good movement skills in stages. The method allows you to build the strength and flexibility necessary to perform the more advanced classical Pilates exercises, which may be beyond the ability of the average person. www.bodycontrolpilates.co.uk

Anna also works as a registered health nurse for the NHS, part- time.  You are in good hands with her long background of helping people. Anna is a keen recreational runner and gym user. 


Mild back problems led Anna to try Pilates 10 years ago. Pilates has helped to keep my back healthy and I rarely suffer aches and pains. I believe this is because of my regular Pilates classes.  

Anna loves how Pilates can challenge anyone from a beginner to the very fit.  Anna believes Pilates benefits everyone from the younger to the older adult. 

Anna considers herself to be a calm and friendly person. She loves teaching Pilates and helping people achieve their fitness goals. Whether that be to tone up, to strengthen their body, to improve performance in other activities, to improve balance and posture. Or just to simply move more, or move better.  

Future proof and invest in your body with regular Pilates. Anna would love to help you learn good movement skills and achieve better posture.

Anna continues to invest in her development as a Pilates teacher and is a member of the Body Control Pilates Association. She has membership with the Society for the Pilates Method (SPM) and is on the SPM register of teachers.
