PY Therapies is an independent Pilates and Yoga studio. This means that as a teacher and therapist I can maintain the integrity of what I teach without recourse to "branded" models of Pilates and Yoga. I work closely with Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and other Hollistic Practitioners to provide a complete clinical referral system.

Having come to Pilates and Yoga more than 20 years ago via my own search for a rehabilitation programme following the births of my four children, I wanted to share this knowledge and provide a safe and nurturing environment where clients could exercise with dignity and improve their condition regardless of age or ability.

The studio has been specifically designed and equipped to ensure comfort as well as challenge you as you strengthen your body using, in the first instance, gentle yet powerful low range movement performed in alignment to address any issues and correct musculoskeletal imbalance.

Therapeutic Pilates and Yoga classes are small (max 8) and are designed to teach concentration, control, centering, precision and slow, flowing movement in harmony with the breath to promote functional strength, improve posture and promote grace and balance. Everyone is personally assessed by myself prior to taking part. In some cases I may recommend one to one tuition in the first instance.

Some of the services we offer include:

• small group mat work classes
• one to one personal training using larger equipment such as the Pilates Reformer and Iyengar Yoga wall
• Ante and post natal care is available to ensure you are in tip top condition to give birth and to assist return to fitness afterwards
• Sports specific training to prevent and treat injury as well as enhance performance ensure you derive optimum pleasure and results from your chosen sport.
• Carole Jacobs also delivers workshops designed to your requirements, corporate, teacher training or private. One such venue is the lovely setting at The Studio Springhill where day retreats for up to 4 persons are hosted.

I am also a Reiki Master Practitioner and massage therapist and these therapies are also available to enhance your wellbeing and improve physical condition.
