Personal Pilates
1:1 and 2:1 Pilates sessions are available at my studio in Ashton Lane, Bishops Waltham. Once you have had a full consultation to identify your needs, we will use a blend of the Pilates Reformer, Stability Chair and Mat Pilates to achieve your goals.
Group Mat Pilates
My Pilates m.o. mat classes are available in three studios around Bishops Waltham. The classes have a maximum of six participants to ensure everyone gets the attention they need. We use equipment (weights, balls, flex bands) to enhance the sessions.
Reformer Pilates
The Reformer is a frame with a moveable carriage, springs, ropes and pulleys. We can achieve a range of goals (strength, stability, rehabilitation, toning) by adjusting the setup, combining different spring sets and varying positioning & movement.
Barre
Barre is a hybrid of Pilates, Dance, Yoga and Functional Fitness training. Using both the TOTAL BARRE™ and Barre Intensity™ methods, you will be taken through an hour of body movement for an intensive and effective whole body workout.
Pregnancy Pilates
During and following your pregnancy, it is vital to choose a fitness regime is tailored to suit your body and will benefit rather than exacerbate any particular health concerns. Our Pregnancy Pilates classes are the ideal solution.
About Emma Yeates
“A back injury initially led me to Pilates and the resulting recuperative effects were life changing. Now a level 3 certified Pilates Instructor, I have been practicing for almost 10 years and have been qualified since 2015.

My Pilates m.o.
“Pilates classes are generally kept small with a maximum of 6 people across all venues, this allows me to focus on the individual as well as the group, ensuring you all get the most from your session. Most venues have parking onsite or are a short walk from the bus stop or car park in central Bishops Waltham.
Currently, some classes are also being streamed live via Zoom for those unable to attend the studio in person.
I can also offer Corporate Pilates sessions at your workplace or for an event, if this is something you may be interested in, please email me with the details or call me to discuss the specifics. To book a class or to find out whether My Pilates m.o. is for you, just get in touch.”
