Karen Blackburn
Pilates and Aerobics Teacher
Karen was a fitness enthusiast who loved Running , strength training and high intensity cardio through exercising until she damaged her spine , she was advised to rehabilitate by taking up Pilates and could not believe the results she achieved by performing low impact, muscular strength, endurance and flexibility exercises.
Karen developed a huge passion for Pilates and after having children decided on a different career path which she felt was more rewarding, she trained as a level 3 Pilates Mat Instructor to help others achieve the health benefits that Pilates has to offer.

Joanne Libby
Pilates, Barre and all round Teacher
I trained as a dancer from an early age and worked professionally as a singer and dancer for many years. I trained to teach dance in 2012 and started working as a dance teacher in 2013. In 2015 I trained to teach Barre Fitness after attending classes. I fell in love with teaching fitness and the style of exercise had greatly improved a chronic lower back problem I’d had since I was a teenager. I decided to enhance my training with a Mat Pilates course, which I completed in 2019 with YMCA. The Pilates knowledge has helped me develop my Barre classes and I now enjoy teaching various styles of dance; Pilates; and Barre.
Jenny Ninian
Yoga Teacher
Yoga has been my passion for most of my adult life. Having worked in business, then as a school teacher for many years I decided to pursue my dream as a yoga teacher. This as one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I have enjoyed developing my yoga practice over the years so that I am able to offer different styles such as Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin yoga, as well as Meditation and breathing techniques. It is a pleasure to share my love of yoga with my students in every class. Namaste
