The Client Journey:

At Unified Pilates, we believe in a holistic approach to Pilates, combining physical and mental wellbeing. Pilates is designed to help you not only build strength and flexibility, but also reduce stress and improve your overall wellbeing.

REFORM ... your body & mindset

• We work on reshaping and realigning the body to improve posture, balance, and overall functionality.

PERFORM ... your best with precision & purpose

EVOLVE ... your wellness journey and strength

• Pilates encourages individuals to perform exercises with intention, focus, and mindfulness, emphasizing quality over quantity and proper alignment over sheer effort.

• Evolve represents the ongoing journey of growth, progress, and self-improvement that Pilates facilitates. We take stock at regular intervals to celebrate how far you've come.

• This stage also signifies the process of refining and correcting movement patterns to address imbalances, weaknesses, and postural misalignments, leading to better movement mechanics and body awareness.

• Through targeted exercises and mindful movements, we aim to reform the body from the inside out, focusing on building strength, flexibility, and stability in the core muscles.

• We encourage that clients challenge themselves and push boundaries to achieve optimal performance, whether it's in Pilates exercises, sports activities, or daily life tasks.

• This stage is all about moving through your practise, advancing through the levels of beginner, intermediate to advanced.

• Pilates encourages individuals to evolve not only physically but also mentally and emotionally, fostering a deeper connection between mind and body.

• Through consistent practice and dedication, Pilates practitioners can evolve their strength, flexibility, endurance, and overall physical capabilities over time.

• This stage embodies the idea of adaptability and resilience, as individuals learn to adapt to new challenges, overcome obstacles, and evolve in their Pilates practice and beyond.

Our Approach

At UNIFIED Pilates, movement is more than exercise — it’s a blend of classical Pilates foundations, modern movement science, and the practical experience of teaching hundreds of bodies over 18 years. These principles guide every session I teach, helping clients move better, get stronger, and build resilience that carries into everyday life.

🟠 1. Breath That Supports Movement

Breath isn’t choreography — it’s strategy.
I use breath to organise the trunk, prepare for load, reduce unnecessary tension, and give clients a way into deeper embodiment. It’s the starting point for strength, stability, and ease.

🟠 2. Centre & Stabilise

Before we build movement, we build support.
Through pelvic and scapular stability, clients learn to move from a connected centre so joints feel safe and muscles work in harmony. This is where coordination, balance and control truly begin.

🟠 3. Precision With Purpose

Every cue has a reason. Every repetition has an intention.
Precision isn’t about perfection — it’s about helping you feel what should be working, improving movement efficiency, and getting more out of every exercise.

🟠 4. Train the Body in All Planes of Motion

Strength and mobility need to be three-dimensional.
Sagittal, frontal, transverse — we explore them all to create a spine that moves with confidence and a body that’s ready for real-world tasks, sports, and daily life.

🟠 5. Progressive Strength & Load

Pilates isn’t just gentle—it’s transformation through intelligent challenge.
I coach clients to build strength endurance, increase load safely, and discover their growing capacity. Classes feel “tough in the best way” because challenge is what creates change..

🟠 6. Responsive Teaching & Individual Awareness

No two bodies need the same thing on the same day.
I tailor sessions moment-to-moment, adjusting complexity, load, pace, and strategies to meet each client’s needs. This is where Pilates becomes personal—and powerful.

🟠 7. Integration: Move as a Whole Body

Movement should feel coordinated, elastic, and connected.
We link breath, stability, mobility, strength, and opposition to create a body that moves as one organised system. Integration is the bridge between exercise and everyday life.

What Pilates Can Teach You

✔ Healthy movement patterns that improve posture and ease of motion.
✔ Exercises to relieve tension in the shoulders, neck, and lower back.

Reviews

"I’ve completed some of the post-natal classes with Alice over the past few weeks and can see differences in my strength and form already. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging and no two classes are the same which I love! I’m looking forward to attending her ‘in person’ classes post Covid."

"BEST PILATES CLASS EVER!!

I started postnatal pilates via zoom about 3 months ago with Alice as I had a lot of lower back and hip pain which was really affecting my everyday life after having my 4th baby.

Initially I found Alice to be very client focused and enthusiastic, she discussed with me in detail what did I want to achieve from the class prior to me signing on.

3 months on, my hip and lower back pain is completely gone and I'm starting to feel so much stronger in my core.

Alice is very knowledgeable and passionate about pilates and makes sure to describe in detail every exercise, what impact it has on the body and correct my posture immediately if necessary.

"Alice's classes are brilliant and tough. What I like is that she changes it from week to week and goes around the class to make sure we are all doing the exercises correctly - which is great for me as I have an injury. Alice is one of the best, very friendly, professional and she has a lovely way about her!"

I cannot recommend Alice highly enough as a Pilates Instructor. The quality of her instruction is excellent. She is really knowledgable and passionate about her work. The atmosphere in the class is calm and friendly and you really feel that she gives each class member her individual attention. I find her class challenging and very focused. I have noticed a difference in my strength, posture and well being since joining her class. Five stars approval rating from me.
