Becky Uden

I have been practicing Pilates for the last 6 years, my passion for it really developing after a snowboarding accident and referral from my physio – it was then that I became hooked.

Practicing Pilates has become a daily addiction; it’s a great form of movement and has so many benefits… Physically it has completely transformed my body, keeping me lean and healthy. Mentally, it has given me the patience and focus to tackle my often-frenetic life.  It also complements my other passion, horse riding.

My love and appreciation for Pilates has led me to teaching, after studying and qualifying with the J Pilates team. My mentor Joanne Cobbe’s knowledge, enthusiasm and love for Pilates was so infectious, reconfirming to me that I was on the right path.
When I’m not doing Pilates, I can be found in the countryside with my beautiful horse Gorron, or snowboarding in the winter months. I also love to travel and spend precious time with my family and friends.

There is no better way to get into the spirit of Christmas!

Embracing and respecting the body, mind, spirit, where health and self-realisation are reflections of the love, authenticity and harmony within.
