Mixed Style Pilates in Glasgow and Stewarton
What is mixed style Pilates?
I teach a combination of Physio-led & classical Pilates, both of which focus on the whole body to improve core function, postural awareness, and flexibility. We are bringing our mind into our body to improve awareness of how we move and how our body functions. As a physiotherapist my in-depth knowledge of anatomy and rehabilitation allows us to deliver the appropriate level of exercise for you.
Classes
Classes are delivered in levels to ensure that you are working at a level appropriate for your ability. There are always a vast range of individuals within classes so whether you are a complete novice, recovering from injury, recently had a baby, recovering from surgery, have pelvic floor issues or simply looking to improve your strength and fitness, be rest assured you are in safe hands.
Beginner - This is an introduction to Pilates where you will learn the 5 key principles of your practice. We explore their principles throughout the 8 week block and progress you in a friendly and safe environment. Levels are always offered to suit your ability to ensure prevention and management of pain.
Intermediate - An improvers class for those of you who have completed the beginners block or have past experience of Pilates. Here we progress on the foundation principles and offer more challenging exercises to improve practice.
Advanced - This class is suitable for experienced clients who have done Pilates for some time. Here we explore endurance, more technical exercises, build on strength and generally offer a more challenging class.
Timetable
All of my Pilates classes are structured in blocks of 8 weeks. If you’d like to get started sooner than the beginning of the next block, contact me to arrange a 1:1 session.

What people say about my classes…
“Gillian took a great deal of care in explaining and demonstrating how to do the exercises and making sure that I and the others in the class followed.”
— Marian, 1:1 Pilate’s client
“I couldn’t recommend Gillian highly enough. She has been a fantastic teacher for me over the last few months during the postnatal period and beyond. Her 1:1 lessons are focussed and adapted to your individual needs, whilst being so enjoyable that the time flies in. Her expertise, experience, professionalism, personality and own ability amalgamate to provide great a great service and great results! Thank you so much”
- Melanie
“Gillian could adapt the exercises and accommodate, firstly, me being pregnant and secondly, the pelvic pain I had. There was then a Pilates class she developed specifically for pregnancy so I then could do this class, again I still needed adapted exercises for my ongoing pain. It was only through the ongoing support and treatment from Gillian throughout the second pregnancy that kept me out of a wheelchair, (as I had to use the first time) and also meant I could carry on working up to 35 weeks pregnant! This was a huge achievement for me as previously I could only work up until 20 weeks. This for me shows the massive benefits of having a physio who, through a range of treatments, can make the biggest difference to your quality of life”
- Sarah
“Since starting Pilates with you I was apprehensive and unsure if I could do the exercises and I suppose self-conscious too. However, I’d say over the past few weeks I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and tonight in particular I thought oh my god I can do this and the difference in myself is unbelievable, like I can’t believe how much stronger I feel! So it leaves me to say……..Thank you very much, you do your job so well and can see you have a great passion for it. Thank you”
