Soma Pilates

WELCOME TO SOMA PILATES. Welcome to Soma Pilates. Founded in 2010 by me, Emily Hayward, Soma Pilates offers group and private Pilates matwork classes in Bristol, online classes, workshops and Pilates retreats in the most inspirational places. I have a lifelong love of dance and movement, and truly believe that a strong and health body helps us to have a strong and healthy mind. Having taught Pilates for over 10 years, I have experience of working with people from all walks of life, from ages 18 - 80+, from complete beginners to fellow teachers, and from those recovering from illness and injury to triathletes and dancers. Whatever stage of life you are at, Pilates will help you feel and move better in your everyday life. Pilates is a holistic form of exercise that is designed to strengthen, elongate and restore the body to balance. Connecting mind and body, Pilates re-educates movement patterns and rebalances the underlying muscular and structural systems of the body. This results in a heightened sense of awareness and ease of movement, the reduction of pain and tension, better posture and an increased sense of well-being. I hope you will join me on the mat!
