CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Ashiya is thorough, inclusive and her obvious love for Pilates and interest in the history shines through everything she does.

Everything is explained clearly and she has clearly put so much thought into how to communicate - using her own practice as a grounding for teaching. Wonderful.

I've really enjoyed doing sessions with Ashiya, she is an amazing instructor! Ashiya guides you and works with you.

I was nervous about starting pilates because I'd never done anything like this before, but I'm soooo glad that I chose her classes to get me into pilates. Now I love it!

With every session, I can feel the difference in my body and in my confidence. Will definitely be continuing, I highly recommend Ashiya! 😊

I feel amazing after each and every one of Ashiya’s classes. The group sessions are brilliant and welcoming, with lots of variations given whilst you build up your capability - and the verbal instructions are so good they are easy to follow without having to watch the teacher constantly (even for me).

If you are lucky enough to have private sessions (I like to supplement my group classes) they massively help with technique and are tailored to what you want/need. The BASI approach to Pilates is brilliant, and Ashiya is an excellent teacher.

Loved my first 1:1 class with Ashiya. She was very welcoming, gave clear instructions and was able to work around my current injuries from running.

I took Ashiya’s private class from Zoom because I am living in another country. She created special routine for me and she focused on my form during the session. Her cueing and tips were all amazing and it was very clear for me to understand even it was on Zoom session. Thank you so much for the class!

Just finished my first Pilates class, and I loved it. The workout was gentle yet challenging.The instructor was encouraging and helped me feel comfortable with the basics. I left feeling energized and already looking forward to the next class.

I had a fantastic one-on-one Pilates session with Ashiya. She was incredibly attentive and tailored the workout to my needs. Her clear instructions and encouragement made the session both challenging and enjoyable. I left feeling energized and confident. Highly recommend Ashiya for anyone looking to improve their Pilates practice!

The class is really friendly and everyone is made to feel welcome, regardless of ability. I have been twice now and feel very comfortable and have left feeling relaxed and peaceful. The music was great too! Highly recommend!

really enjoyable and chill atmosphere! will definitely come back for more :)

Absolutely excellent Ashiya is warm welcoming Very friendly and a fantastic teacher so pleased I found her I have always loved Pilates but never Have I engaged more or understood the movement And breathing more than I do now and only 2 classes in so far highly recommend the 1 to 1 class.

A very well taught, considerate class for a range of experience levels. Lovely setting and atmosphere, will be returning regularly :)

Such a brilliant teacher! Thank you!

Tough but a great challenge. Looking forward to more classes with Ashiya who is an encouraging and welcoming teacher :)

I really enjoyed my early class with Ashiya this morning. I have barely done pilates (though practise yoga very regularly) and the class was the perfect blend of difficulties for me. Ashiya was really clear and knowledgable, giving consistent direction to the class.

I’ve taken private and group classes with Ashiya. Each time I’ve felt so welcome and comfortable, she explains and demonstrates everything clearly, the flows feel creative and varied, and I’ve felt challenged to work that bit harder with her knowledgable support. Ashiya is a very realisable, trustworthy and skilled teacher!

Ashiya is a brilliant teacher. I'm also training to be a pilates instructor and booked a private mat class to practice some of the exercises I've struggled with. Ashiya was precise, had strong focus on technique, was exact with her feedback but also calm, encouraging and really boosted my confidence! Cannot recommend enough!!

Ashiya is a warm and welcoming instructor who clearly has a lot of pilates expertise. Her passion is infectious. I'd highly recommend starting or continuing you pilates journey with Ashiya. Group, 1:1 or zoom class options mean you can find a mix that works for your level of practice.

I'm now a pilates convert thanks to Ashiya! She’s the only teacher I’ve stuck with!

Thank you for that first class! You are very clear and the pace was great, although i really am going to need to go slowly with it! I'm already looking forward to practising.

I came to Ashiya for 1:1 and group sessions after doing group classes with other teachers, and through Ashiya's expertise I have learnt so much more about Pilates and the way my body moves. Ashiya is knowledgeable and encouraging (and a laugh!) and under her guidance, I've felt myself become much stronger and more flexible.

I have gone from being a little exercise-sceptic to having an exercise routine that gives me joy. I can't recommend Ashiya enough!
