I have suffered from chronic back pain for a long time, and have also had back surgery so faced real challenges - both physical and psychological - to getting strong and fit. Pouya has worked with me carefully and sensitively to build my strength and my confidence. He has the most amazing range of skills - he is a physio and a brilliant massage therapist as well as being an incredibly skilled personal trainer, which is a magical combination. I have felt so safe to work with him through my recovery and am now past my injury and feeling stronger and fitter than I have done for 15 years! He listens carefully to how I feel and structures the exercise to work exactly for me. He encourages and challenges me in the perfect combination. I literally can’t recommend him highly enough.
I'm pretty fussy as I've danced and done yoga and Pilates for over 30 years, and I can hand in heart say that Anna is one of the best teachers I've ever encountered. She is focused on detail, manages to make classes new and interesting and more importantly - challenging! I couldn't live without her Pilates classes.
Anna is a fantastic Pilates instructor. The classes are always varied, using different props, and have the right blend of strengthening and stretching to make you feel energised and limber. Instructions are always clear, and prompts and reminders are given which is really important to help you do the exercises in the right way. Anna is also mindful of injuries or problem areas you might have, giving advice and variations for different levels of ability. I always leave the classes feeling revitalised and an inch taller!
