Breathe, Connect, Move with Wendy.

“Contrology is complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. Through Contrology you first purposefully acquire complete control of your own body and then through proper repetition of its exercises you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associated with all your subconscious activities. This true rhythm and control is observed both in domestic pets and wild animals – without known exceptions” Joseph Pilates, Pilates called his exercises Contrology, we now call it Pilates.

Testimonials

Thank you for a heavenly hour. It was magical for me.

Jenny

Thank you once gain for helping me keep my body in check enough to carry on dancing, hopping and skipping, not only in classes but whenever the mood takes me.

I feel so well after your sessions.

Dearest Wendy

I just wanted to thank you for the absolutely mega chair/standing classes.
Not only have I thoroughly enjoyed them, but I cannot tell you how fabulous I feel after doing them. I feel as if I can swish along a Parisian catwalk ! Legs up to my ears – my entire body feels long & strong – & my neck & shoulders open & broad, as if something warm & gorgeous has been poured all over them. I also feel focused & positive, which is a huge bonus any time, but particularly special right now.
Wendy, I admit, it took me a long time to try the ‘chair’ class. Shame on me. I wasn’t convinced it would be beneficial, but my curiosity got the better of me – & thank goodness it did.
Coupled with your sincere & encouraging approach, I consider myself very lucky to be part of the wonderful world you create.
Huge hug & much love
Justine

I would love to have the link to the 4 recorded classes please!
Absolutely loving your Zoom classes. I met you last year when you taught Pilates to Silver Swans, that makes it an entire year since I first discovered your wonderful classes. Time flies!

Lindsay

Actually got round to using the video library for a couple of sessions today – brilliant! why didn’t I get into it earlier – just what I need!

Thank you so much for all the fantastic Pilates classes. It is great to work out the body from the inside out, but also to ‘escape’ from everything else going on in life. I always come away feeling relaxed

Chris

In 2015 and again in 2019 I broke a wrist in a fall on uneven surfaces. This meant I walked head down to watch my tread – not ideal. Then Wendy did a section in her class on walking —- heel toe, heel toe, to avoid our uneven pavements just waiting to trip us up. It also helps stabilise the body making you more confident and grounded. It took practice but I kept hearing Wendy’s voice in my ear (heel-toe, heel toe) and it has become more natural. So much so when my neighbour tripped in Lordship Lane, fracturing her hip and collar bone I passed this tip on to her. She now hears my voice in her ear! and although her recovery took a long time she is seeing the benefits. Thanks Wendy, during 9 years of sessions you have taught me a lot but this has been a top tip!!
