Pilates Interests
I love to work with clients on a 1-1 basis on matwork and reformer Pilates. It’s amazing to working with someone on a 1-1 to meet their goals and needs. I often see people who don’t feel ready for a class progress through a series of 1-1’s before integrating into a class setting or we get clients who want to advance their exercises and technique and take their Pilates to the next level! Whatever your needs Pilates can be adapted to you – that’s why I LOVE IT!

What Our Customers Say
Testimonials
"I have found that my left shoulder pain has reduced, I have better balance and better posture in everyday life. I found by starting at the basics I can understand and have been more aware of what I am actually meant to be doing. I will and have recommended Causeway Pilates to others."
10/10 rating from Nikki Crowe
"I find this class very good. I was in a previous Pilates class where I didn’t know if I was doing movement properly and the teacher didn’t get round to check on everyone. There is a Friendly atmosphere and I can ask Joanne questions without feeling foolish! I will and have recommended Causeway Pilates to others."
10/10 rating from Arvril Whiskers
"I started Pilates to lose weight, tone and relax. I have really enjoyed Pilates as it is relaxing. Jo is a great instructor, friendly and good fun. I have noticed a difference as I feel more toned and not as stressed. Thank you Jo, I will be signing up for the next set of sessions."
10/10 rating from Jaice Cassidy
"Having been to a large group exercise classes before, I was a bit nervous at maybe getting ‘lost’ is the group and then left to figure the moves for myself. But Jo’s classes are perfect, they are just the right size and Jo is able to still give individual attention when needed so that we don’t go wrong. I love this class. Even after just a few weeks I can feel a difference in my body, and my posture has improved too."
10/10 rating from Diane Rogers
"What can I say?…. Causeway Pilates is simply fabulous!!!
I have been through a considerable amount of stress & anxiety this year, and someone suggested Pilates as a way to do some endorphin-boosting exercise which didn’t involve throwing myself around a gym (which I felt way too delicate to face!). Jo has been so kind & encouraging, whilst also helping us to each find our individual levels of challenge & to push ourselves further each session."
10/10 rating from Emma Stewart

Really enjoyed the atmosphere too…lovely people in every class. 10 stars!!"
