Kind Words
‘Love love love my yoga classes with Liz. I come out of them feeling amazing and relaxed. She is a fabulous teacher.’
-S. Morris
‘I thoroughly enjoy your yoga classes, they have taught me so much on how to let go and unwind. I use the breathing daily when feeling stressed or anxious or can’t sleep. As well as some lovely flows and stretching.’
— G. Richardson
Breathe deeply, move freely
Liz began practicing yoga as a teenager and has been teaching yoga since 2019. Liz's classes take a mindful approach, focusing on the breath, with the aim of regulating the nervous system and physiology for overall health and wellbeing.
Liz teaches Yoga, Pilates, Chair Yoga, and Restorative Yoga in group classes as well as private sessions, with regular Rest Fest soundbath experiences. Her practices are suitable for beginners as well those with years of experience.
-Yoga offers far more than just stretching — it supports the whole person, inside and out. Yoga helps calm the nervous system, reducing stress, anxiety and overwhelm while improving sleep and emotional balance. It builds strength, flexibility and mobility, keeping the body supple and supported, and easing tension in areas like the back, hips and shoulders. Yoga also improves breath awareness and circulation, which helps boost energy, focus and overall vitality. Yoga helps you feel more grounded, present and connected to yourself, making it easier to cope with daily life and recover from fatigue or burnout
-Pilates builds deep core strength, supporting the spine and improving posture, which can reduce back pain and everyday aches. It increases flexibility and joint mobility, helping the body move more freely and with less stiffness. Through slow, controlled movement and breath, it improves balance, coordination and body awareness, making everyday activities feel easier and more supported. It also supports injury prevention and recovery by strengthening muscles evenly and improving alignment. Pilates can help ease tension in the neck, shoulders and hips, areas where many people hold stress. Because it encourages calm, focused movement, it also helps reduce stress and quiet the mind, supporting nervous system balance and overall wellbeing. Pilates becomes not just exercise, but a way to feel more stable, strong and at home in your body.

What is a personal progressive program?
A 12-week personal progressive program works with the body, not against it — and that’s why it delivers real, lasting results.
Here’s why it’s such a powerful solution, tailored directly to you
1. Progression builds strength safely
Over 12 weeks, exercises gradually build in challenge. This allows muscles, joints, and connective tissue to adapt safely, reducing injury risk while steadily increasing strength, stability, and mobility.
2. It creates real core strength
Pilates trains the deep core muscles that support posture, balance, and movement efficiency. As these muscles strengthen over time, everything from daily movement to sport and fitness feels easier and more supported.
3. Consistency rewires the body
Regular practice over 12 weeks improves posture, alignment, and movement patterns. Poor habits are gently replaced with more efficient ones, leading to less pain, better balance, and improved body awareness.
4. It supports flexibility and strength
Pilates lengthens and strengthens muscles at the same time. A progressive programme ensures flexibility increases without sacrificing stability — ideal for long-term joint health.
5. It’s adaptable to many goals
Whether someone wants to:
reduce back or joint pain
improve posture
build strength and tone
support recovery from injury
enhance athletic performance
move more confidently as they age
a 12-week Pilates program can be tailored to meet those needs.
6. It builds a strong mind–body connection
Pilates emphasises breath, focus, and control. Over time, this improves coordination, concentration, and confidence in movement — benefits that carry into everyday life.
7. Results that last
Quick fixes fade. A 12-week progressive approach builds a strong, balanced foundation that supports the body long after the program ends.
In short:
12 weeks is long enough to create meaningful change, short enough to stay motivating — and the progressive Pilates program is one of the most intelligent ways to build a strong, resilient body.
