What is Pilates ?
Pilates is a form of exercise that was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th Century. It is an exercise program designed to lengthen and strengthen the posture muscles and assist with restoring the body to the correct alignment.
Pilates is one of the safest exercise methods, performed consciously with slow precision using the breath to assist with the execution of the exercises.

Sonia Fergusson
“Activity is Vitality”
About Me
I was born and raised in Johannesburg South Africa, where I was an active sportswoman, competing in both swimming and gymnastics. I started teaching gymnastics from a young age and continued in both Qatar and the UK. My passion for pilates started in Qatar, where I spent many hours working in a Yoga / pilates studio. From there I went on to qualify as a Stott Mat instructor, Level 2 Exercise to Music instructor and a level three Body Control Instructor. Currently studying towards my level 4 GP referral, specialising in back care.
I am passionate about helping people and work closely with senior adults and the disabled. My passion for life comes across in my personality and sense of humour. Always sharing laughter.
See What My Clients Say
The best Pilates class I’ve attended. Very professional ‘hands on’ approach and best of all – great fun!
Rita Hempson
As a complete pilates novice, Sonia has made even me feel much more confident about my abilities to improve my ‘core’. Her patience, empathy and clear instructions have made the sessions inspirational. I am very grateful to have found such a great teacher!
Elin Owen
My Pilates experience with Sonia is very positive, she is an excellent teacher & gets to know her clients very well.
She spots if things aren’t right with you straight away, be it a slight shoulder ache or a bad neck & programmes the class accordingly. She is very versatile & we never do the same moves week on week ,there is always variety in her class. A lovely warm & caring teacher.
