Hi, I'm Joanna and I want to share my passion for Pilates with you.

I fell in love with this form of exercise after seeing the overwhelming benefits – both physically and mentally in my own body. I originally qualified with Polestar Pilates UK and then furthered my qualifications with the highly acclaimed The Center for Women's Fitness certifying as a Women's Health Pilates Specialist. My passion for women's health issues has become my focus, in particular Menopause. My aim through Pilates is to educate, strengthen and empower women through this unique stage of their lives.

Why Others

Having a curved spine with fused vertebrae causes me a lot of trouble. I see Joanna once a week to help stretch out any trapped nerves and tight muscles, I always leave feeling amazing and mobile! I was a Pilates novice and Joanna took her time to get to know all of my ailments in order to structure a session around me and what I am capable of doing. Highly recommend.

I started Pilates with Jo in January 2019. Since then I’ve developed good strength and have not needed to see an osteopath in that time! I thoroughly enjoy the class each week - a great bunch of people and still enjoying remote classes.

Positive Change Pilates is a safe and effective way of learning to use, control and strengthen your body. I have been encouraged and motivated to push myself in ways I didn't know were possible. Joanna' s enthusiasm and knowledge are infectious.

Joanna is a fantastic Pilates teacher and all of her classes are relaxed and really friendly. Would thoroughly recommend!

I have been working with Joanna for almost a year. The Pilates sessions have transformed my core muscles and I feel much stronger. I have enjoyed Joanna’s personal and encouraging approach to exercise, and we have also had lots of fun.
