Pilates in Barnes – Lauren Mccarthy, Pilates Teacher

At the heart of my teaching are the six principles of Pilates— Breath, Concentration, Centring, Control, Precision and Flow. Through focused, purposeful movement, you'll build strength, improve flexibility and develop a deeper understanding of your body and how it moves, giving you the confidence to move well for life

Meet The Teacher

Lauren began practising pilates in 2004 and qualified to teach pilates mat work in 2007 with the Pilates Foundation. She has also completed the fully comprehensive studio training with Polestar Pilates, has full public liability insurance and is a first aider. Lauren has over 25 years experience in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, group exercise leader, gym instructor and was the former fitness trainer for the English National Ballet School. Pilates has changed Lauren’s opinion about exercise and what it means to have a healthy, strong and supple body. Movement is medicine and restoring the body’s natural ability to move is Lauren’s aim for all her clients. Exercise doesn’t have to be exhausting to be effective, Lauren wants you to leave her classes feeling energized not exhausted.

Testimonials

“Lauren is the best Pilates teacher in world. What more do you need to know? Lauren has been teaching us now for 5 years and, in that time, no two lessons have ever felt the same – she has an amazing dedication to her students and their needs. My wife and I have also avoided the sports injuries that used to plague our careers ever since we’ve had Lauren in our lives!”

Chris Lipscomb

“Love my Monday nights pilates! I can’t imagine ever finding a better teacher than Lauren! She truly is dedicated to her passion, she is hugely knowledgeable, so professional, always reliable and makes the class varied, challenging and fun to be part of! I have been coming to Lauren’s class for the last 10 years and I love it as much as I did back then! Lauren always gives 100% I love her style of teaching, totally fab! Thank you!”

Emmie Caesar

“I discovered Lauren’s Pilates classes around 10 years ago when I was struggling with a back injury as well as the usual other aches and pains we get as we grow older. I had tried other instructors who were good but nothing quite gave me such an all-round body conditioning and feeling of wellbeing as well as one hour of Lauren’s methods. The classes are never boring as Lauren changes her repertoire frequently and you always feel challenged but not pressurised as there is always an alternative position or movement.“

Adrienne Webster Bell

“From the first class I was made to feel very welcome. Lauren’s classes are an ideal mix of challenging, enjoyable and focused to your ability. I particularly like that every week the class is different. I haven’t had back pain for over 5 years now, so it’s an hour very well spent every week.”
