So glad to be back with Lisa-Maire in her lovely new studio. She is an amazing, friendly, knowledgeable teacher, and I have really missed her 1:1 classes. She has great equipment and is always on hand to help you no matter your fitness levels/goals. I won't be leaving it so long again, as I really feel the difference in myself after one session.

My lower back issues were holding me back from sport and everyday activities for fear of sending my back into spasm. I have been seeing Lisa-Marie for one to one sessions for the past few months and not only does my body feel much stronger but my whole relationship with my body has changed beyond recognition. I am no longer afraid to carry out activities that I would previously have steered clear from. With such a sedentary job, Lisa has reset my whole mindset and regularly moving is now st the forefront of my mind. Above all it’s an absolute pleasure doing my one to one sessions - Lisa is so patient caring and brilliant at what she does

Lisa-Marie is a great Pilates instructor. The classes are enjoyable and you always feel like you have worked out and feel so much better after a class. With an injury, the classes were tailored to me which makes is so much easier to train when concerned about an injury in a group class. I highly recommend classes with Lisa-Marie.

I wish I'd found Lisa sooner. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable but she's been so supportive and motivating in getting me to reach my goals. My body no longer hurts! I've also been able to embed what Lisa has taught me into my every day life. Literally changed my life. Thank you 🙏

My situation before working with Lisa-Marie was in generally good health, had recently started running, but wanted to explore ways to improve core strength and flexibility. I wasn’t very knowledgeable about Pilates, plus wondered if too late to start given may age group. Working with Lisa-Marie has been an absolute pleasure and education. Lisa-Marie provides great focus on understanding the individual and is mindful of any personal challenges. Lisa-Marie also takes the time to clearly explain each exercise and her enthusiasm for Pilates shines through. I now have a much better understanding of how to control movement using my core strength and have noted enhanced flexibility, reduced tension, and improved breathing.

My situation before working with Lisa-Marie was Poor posture and lower back ache which are long term issues for me. I Needed some 1:1 input after a year of Zoom Pilates. The process working with Lisa-Marie has been extremely positive. she is very professional, patient, knowledgeable and the sessions are relaxed and fun. It is helping me get back on track and giving me practical, achievable things to focus on.

"Many years nursing have taken a toll on my body. I've always done some sort of exercise but as I get older there are limitations to what I think I can do and what I can actually do! Until a few years ago I was a regular at my local gym attending at least 3 times a wk. Sadly I gave up my membership & started walking & cycling. Unfortunately I found myself getting quite stiff which for me being fiercely independent was very frustrating. At 74yrs of age I wanted to make sure that I could continue to do all the things I wanted & needed to do. Then i found Lisa-Marie. I'd done some Pilates in the past so was quite excited & was not disappointed. I'm always nervous joining new groups so was apprehensive. Working with Lisa-Marie has been a delight. Her dedication & commitment to her discipline is awesome. She really cares & makes the classes fun while keeping a close eye on our practice to ensure we are working correctly & safely. Additionally a big thank you to the extra time she's committed to ensure we can continue to practice during COVID restrictions. Working with Lisa-Marie has really helped to keep my body subtle and my movements are much freer. "

Lisa-Marie is an amazing instructor. She was really patient with me during our session, she took the time to explain each move to me. I have also done her online classes which are great, she has made every effort to make the experience stress free and easy. I will certainly be back and would absolutely reccomend!

Before I started coming to Lisa -Marie I was on large amount of painkillers . I was unable to bend unable to even cross my legs ! I couldn’t walk much either and used a mobility scooter to go everywhere. I was reserved at first, as I was worried I could make things worse. I have loved every minute of my time with Lisa-Marie she is so easy to talk to and I think of her as a friend . Lisa is fun but firm ! No slacking off and a need to concentrate.. as I have become stronger I have become more flexible and I trust her completely. I now have no hip pain at all and I now can stretch and get relief from my pain .

Lisa-Marie is a very dedicated teacher who makes Pilates accessible for anyone. She is friendly and helpful and is very approachable if you have questions. She has adapted brilliantly to the current situation with regards to Covid-19 and her online teaching is excellent. I'd thoroughly recommend anyone who is thinking of trying Pilates to give Breathe in Pilates a go!

I had treatment for uterine cancer in 2014 but this reoccurred in 2017 and spread to my lung. Further surgery followed and I have taken daily oral chemotherapy drugs since. This has been successful so far, thankfully, and I have been in remission for the last 4 years. However, joint pain is one of the side effects of these drugs alongside general fatigue, and by the summer 2020, I was finding everyday movements such as getting out of a chair or getting up off the floor increasingly difficult. Although only in my early 60’s, I was very stiff and generally felt my overall fitness had deteriorated, and as I am the full-time carer for my disabled husband this made many everyday activities difficult for both of us. I had read accounts of Pilates helping address the difficulties I was having by improving core strength, overall fitness and flexibility but was nervous of trying this new activity at my age and given my ‘not great’ level of current fitness. Lisa-Marie’s warm and encouraging response to my first e-mail helped me overcome initial nerves and I began a series of 1 to 1 sessions. Working with Lisa-Marie has been an excellent experience in every way. She is incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Pilates and clearly enjoys welcoming newcomers into the Pilates community. She is warm and encouraging, taking time to answer my questions and explain Pilate’s principles and techniques to me. Weekly sessions are well planned and her systematic approach makes me feel I am acquiring a firm foundation in classical Pilates practice while seeing progress each week. Stretch and challenge are introduced into sessions incrementally. Most importantly, sessions are flexible enough to meet my individual needs, e.g. after several weeks of working with Lisa-Marie; I discovered I had osteopenia, another side effect of the anti-cancer drugs I am taking. This condition prevents me from doing certain sorts of exercise, as there may be a risk of fractures. Lisa-Marie’s incredible expertise was apparent as she immediately adapted my programme to continue Pilates safely. She is a skilled teacher offering honest appraisal of my progress and celebrating my improvements. One of the many great things about Pilates is how easy it is to practice at home between sessions without the need for expensive or specialist equipment. The physical benefits of working with Lisa-Marie include being less stiff, improved posture and a feeling of overall improving core fitness. A second important benefit is that of actively combating the potential problems of osteopenia. The bone-loading exercises and exercises to improve muscle strength and balance are sound strategies for preventing deterioration in my condition. Equally important is the sense of mental well-being I feel in having some control in managing this health issue. I am going to say a word here about the benefits of Pilates for me as a carer because I was not really expecting this. As many of us know first-hand, caring full-time can be physically demanding and stressful. I have found Pilates is improving my strength and flexibility in ways that really assist me with the physical demands of caring. My weekly Pilates session and practice time at home require mental focus making them very good ‘me-time’. Most carers will recognise the need for some space for themselves on a regular basis but this is not always easy to find. Pilates is so flexible that I practice for 10 minutes if that’s all I have or can have a thorough 45 minutes mat-based session at home that always leaves me feeling good. Having said all of the above, the best result I have from working with Lisa-Marie is that I really enjoy Pilates. She has introduced me to and taught me the foundations of a new regimen, which engenders in me a sense of physical and mental well-being. Thanks Lisa-Marie for being an inspiring mentor and teacher.

Before working with Lisa-Marie I suffered sleepless nights caused by backache. A totally unfit and somewhat overweight 66 year old. Stiff and achy in my joints. Very enjoyable and surprisingly effective. I have been impressed by her comprehensive understanding of the physiology and her effective knowledge of how to apply Pilates to achieve the desired result. Her pleasant disposition and relaxed approach make it easy to work with and learn from. From working with Lisa-Marie I have taken away a range of exercises that when applied relieve the back pain with which I have suffered for many years. If I take a break and the pain returns I simply restart the exercises to get relief again.

Had my first lesson with Lisa Marie a week or so ago and really enjoyed myself. I was initially very anxious to go along as I had never done a class like this before but as soon as I got there she made me feel incredibly comfortable and at ease about what we were going to do. I had a brilliant lesson, she's very professional and clearly incredibly knowledgeable about her practice. She listened to what I hoped to achieve from the classes and talked me through how we would go about doing that. I can't wait to see her again!

Have heard about the benefits of Pilates before, and decided to give it a real go. Lisa-Marie is knowledgeable and so patient with me as I learn. She really listens to your goals and concerns and then builds a workout session around your needs. I can already feel a difference and will be going as much as I can. Thank you!

Such a good thing to be able to continue with pilates, online is as effective as in the studio and enjoyable . Lisa Marie can see us all and use her expertise to make sure we all stay safe and have a great experience .

After a complicated full hip replacement and regraft of glute muscle...this last year has been one of physios and frustrations trying to get the strength back in those muscles. But...I can safely say after an intensive (twice a week) sessions for five ish weeks has done more in that time to complete my recovery!!!! To the point that I got back on a horse again the day after my birthday last week!! I can't thank you enough!!! #breatheinpilates Update.... The above still stands but as the months go on the suppleness, strength and stamina...not only on the hip replacement....in my whole body has helped no end in bringing my fitness to a level I require working and training horses. Thanks again to Lisa-Marie Butler-Breatheinpilates 🙂

Lisa-Marie is an excellent teacher. Highly recommend her classes. I've also experienced the 1:1 session on the reformer machine. Brilliant!
