Jules’ Pilates Paradise Retreat
“Pilates is complete coordination of body, mind and spirit.
Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”
Josephs Pilates believed that emotional health was inextricably linked to physical well being.
Jules has been practicing Pilates for 12 years and began her dream of training to teaching Pilates in 2018. She is a fun-loving and compassionate teacher who thrives on seeing clients getting stronger and feeling good. Jules has great empathy with all clients and a deep personal understanding of those experiencing movement restrictions. She herself developed a back condition in childhood and has experienced the restorative properties of Pilates first-hand.
Her retreats are suitable for beginners and intermediate levels. She is passionate about helping improving posture, strength and flexibility.
Creating a space where clients can develop their own body awareness and recognise when they are ready to progress the movements and start to naturally embed Pilates fundamentals into everyday life. She is a Level 3 Mat-Based Pilates Instructor and also has a Diploma in Pilates for Common Orthopaedic Conditions and Level 3 Award in Nutrition for Weight Management.
‘Above all I want my clients to enjoy Pilates, feeling nurtured, grounded, energized, stretched and strengthened. Using the breath to guide the movements and create the sensation of peace and relaxation we can take with us into our everyday lives.’
When not teaching pilates, she enjoys weight-lifting, wild swimming, yoga and enjoying the nature walks with her Boxer dog Rudolf
