Sonya joined us to instruct on various mat based Pilates classes and reformer classes.

Sonya was a teaching assistant for 15 years, but she decided to have a career change.

Sonya said:

I have always been a very active person. Starting back at school, dancing for Trafford & trampolining for the school. I then went on to college & University to do Physical Theatre and Dance, I had a break for a few years whilst I brought up my 2 lovely boys.

About this time, I started working at a special needs school with children with many different needs, complex learning & medical needs and ASC.

After 15 years I decided that a career change was a must, so, I thought that my hobby could become my work, as they say, “enjoy your work and you’ll never work a day in your life”.

Well it is true, I now feel blessed to be teaching Pilates. I work with all abilities and I love to see the progress that my clients make, it makes them smile and that makes me feel happy.

Pilates offers people flexibility, mobility, Co-ordination, strength, Balance and healthy mental well-being what more would you want out of life? As Joseph Pilates said

The acquirement and enjoyment of physical well-being, mental calm and spiritual peace are priceless to their possessors

Pilates can really offer it all.
