Holly Wild
Pilates
Whilst awaiting back surgery in 2008, Holly discovered Pilates.
It was on this journey (pre and post op) that she realised the true power of the discipline. But it was the regular practice that kept the back pain free and strong, amongst many other benefits.
Holly decided to turn this new found love and hobby into a career of her own and in 2016 trained and qualified to become a level 3 Mat Pilates instructor. She now teaches approximately 120 people per week ranging from 19 to 83 years old.
The joy of Pilates is that there is always something that someone can do in a class and Holly promotes this in all of her lessons. Whether you are pre, post op, rehabilitating from an injury, living with a permanent disability or to enhance your strength and mobility, you will always be welcomed and catered for.
Holly believes in working hard to gain the most out of each Pilates session but this is always balanced with a little light humour as it has to be enjoyable too!
Holly also holds certificates in Pilates small equipment, pre and post natal, barre Pilates and rebounder UK.
We endorse Holly as a Pilates instructor as, not only does she hold a community recognition of being a tutor of excellence but she has suffered with an injury and understands the merits of Pilates as a method of recovery
