Infants 0-9 months; Our Infant classes offer an insight into baby development to increase your confidence and understanding of your growing baby. All our fun activities are suitable from birth with the exercises progressing as your baby grows.

Toddlers 9-18 months; For your older more active baby who is now fascinated with the world around them we introduce additional learning themes and practice new skills. Activities promote language and social skills and body awareness.

Juniors 18 months – 3 years+; Our special fun Junior programme is perfect for older toddlers who are even more active. We love encouraging their confidence in their physical and social skills and in supporting increased independence with fun and stimulating games. They do not even realise how much they are learning at the same time.

Hi, I am Mandy, founder of ME Pilates Academy. I have been teaching Pilates for 14 years now. I started with just one class in the Emmbrook Village Hall on Wednesday lunchtimes and I am proud to say I still run that very same class and even have clients still attending now from those early days!! This is testament to how beneficial Pilates is to everyone. Once you have introduced your body to Pilates you realise just how much you need it in your life.
