Clare Cleverly
Pilates Instructor
Clare Newman
Pilates Instructor
The last 15 years of practicing, learning, and teaching Pilates has brought positivity into my life.
With a comprehensive training of the Pilates Method, this repertoire has always been close to my heart, of which I share the knowledge of with my clients on the Mat and the Apparatus.
The collaboration of movement and mind creates a synergy of how Pilates can connect your body and soul in bringing out the energy in us. I love all aspects that the method offers.
From the focus of individuals or duets privately, to the fun flows of small group sessions, and assisting those through rehab programs. It is rewarding seeing those I teach connect deeply with their bodies and observing the progress made.
Everything interconnects and nothing is isolated.
