"Mel is a brilliant teacher, her classes are well planned & executed. I have a lower back problem & doing 2 classes a week, I now have the problem under control, I havent taken any painkillers for months-it took about 2 months Pilates practice to get the condition under control, but I did it! "

"After a prolapsed disc in my back, I began Pilates , it has really helped my recovery, made me stronger, and more aware of posture, and it is something I will continue "

Thanks Mel - and an even bigger THANK YOU because it's thanks to you really that I had the best run I've ever had up to the halfway point in the LONDON Marathon last weekend as your voice was in my head saying over and over again feel your shoulder blades sliding down your back - this kept me so relaxed and really helped my breathing and posture! I now really believe it can actually feel quite good running! just need to remember to keep those shoulders down!!
