Blissful soul work in a gorgeous space

This was a wonderful two hours in a lovely studio, held by a sensitive, experienced space holder, where five of us shared a sound bath, breath work and cacao ritual. This is my second experience and I have already booked my third. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Soul Circle with Louisa

I signed up to the Soul Circle class with Louisa in order to learn some breathing techniques, but was pleasantly surprised that it was so much more than that. The class was women only, there were only 5 of us, so very intimate. We were able to share our stories in a safe and nurturing environment with no judgement.
I’m almost loathed to give it a review, as it felt like a really special secret club! I did attend with a friend, but felt a strong bond with everyone in the room by the time we finished. The breath work was profound… just amazing. I will definitely come again. Thanks so much, Louisa, and thank you Karen for telling me all about it when I bumped into you in the Tesco’s car park! 😀💕

It was a great experience

It was a great experience, I still felt the exercise, up to three days after and that was just a taster session. I really felt it in my core.

Great variety of excellent classes

The classes at Lifeworks are just great. A nice variety from Pilates, yoga, strength work to breathwork. The classes are never too big and the teachers are great and always attentive and offering alternative moves if needed. There is a lovely Lifeworks community and I definitely recommend their classes.

Incredibly observant, considerate and expert pilates teacher

Love love love Karen's pilate classes. First time in what seems like years that I managed to join one of her in-person classes. And I'll make sure it is the first of many. She is so so GOOD at explaining every movement, taking into consideration everyone's level and ability to follow (remember in my case) instructions. Karen's so observant and considerate, gently suggesting improvements, helping you focus and really push yourself. Such a wonderfully welcoming and kind teacher. Felt incredible after the class.

Wow. Thank you so much. People often ask “why do I do what I do?” In fact, it’s a question I often ask in my coaching sessions, and this review sums my answer up perfectly. It’s exactly why I do it and your comments mean so much. Great to see you back. 🙌🏼 xx

I love my classes with karen

I love my classes with karen. The studio is clean, bright and the music always makes you hum along. Helpful when exercise is not a natural activity. Karen is enthusiastic, friendly and fun. Go along you enjoy it

Knowledgable and fun instructor

Karen is great - a genuinely knowledgable and fun instructor, who seems to find a way to make it appropriate (and challenging) for everyone. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly, supportive environment in which to meet your fitness goals (whatever they may be).

Highly Recommend

Karen is an experienced instructor who I really trust. I have only been going for a short time but can feel the difference already. The classes are friendly and not intimidating at all, with everyone being very welcoming. Lots of different options so you can choose what best suits what you need.
