Future-Proof Your Body: Build the Capacity to Move Well, Stay Strong and Keep Doing Life on Your Terms
YOUR TEACHER
Helena Brunsdon
Pilates Teacher & Owner of Life Fit Pilates
Helena is a Diploma-qualified Pilates teacher who helps people build the strength, balance, mobility and physical capacity to keep doing the things that matter to them.
Her approach goes beyond simply learning Pilates exercises. Sessions are designed around the individual, their history, current capacity, symptoms, goals and the physical demands of their everyday life.
Whether that means feeling stronger on the floor and stairs, maintaining the confidence to travel, continuing with sport or strength training, or rebuilding capacity after injury or a period of reduced activity, Helena uses Pilates as a way to prepare the body for life outside the studio.
With thousands of hours of teaching experience, Helena combines detailed movement observation with thoughtful, science-informed programming.
Rather than asking every body to follow the same sequence, she adapts the programme as the person in front of her changes.
Her own experiences of injury, recovery, ageing and the changing demands placed on the body over time have also shaped a teaching style that is practical, compassionate and firmly focused on what each person wants their body to be able to do.
Life Fit Pilates can complement strength training, walking, sport and other active pursuits, while sessions can also be adapted around arthritis, joint stiffness, joint replacement and other individual considerations.
The goal is not simply to become better at Pilates.
It is to build a body capable of the life you want to keep living.
