"I've been doing Pilates for about eight years, and SHP has truly become my happy place. When the opportunity came up to train with Helen, Laura, and the team, I knew it was the perfect fit. The course has been an absolute joy—I love Pilates, so why not bring that joy to others? The online element has been so useful, allowing me to consolidate everything I’ve learned in-person. It’s incredibly user-friendly, tracks my progress, and serves as a great reference tool. The best part? The people. It’s such a wholesome, welcoming space where everyone supports each other. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to train."
"As an osteopath and a certified APPI Pilates instructor, I was already teaching four classes a week, but I wanted to expand my skill set. SHP gave me another tool in my box—another way to teach and enhance my repertoire. The learning environment is relaxed and incredibly supportive, which helped ease my initial nerves. Helen and Laura are fantastic mentors, and the group of professionals on the course have been so talented and inspiring. What really stands out is the mentorship—knowing I have a year of ongoing support and can come back to ask questions is so reassuring. I’ve loved every moment of it."
"I’ve been attending classes at SHP for a while and even work here a couple of days a week. The energy and approach to Pilates at SHP are truly special, so when the chance came up to do a CPD course in dynamic Pilates, I jumped at it! The online materials are incredibly robust—so much to learn, even for someone like me who has been teaching for a long time. The course is rooted in evidence-based practice, combining functional movement with Pilates precision in such an intelligent way. But the best part? Being surrounded by other incredible women. Everyone comes across as super confident, but we all share the same fears and nerves. Learning how to manage that and watching different teaching styles has been so inspiring. It’s been a game-changer for me."
"I’ve been coming to Helen and Laura for classes for about three years and absolutely love it. When I started looking for a career change after working in TV, I wanted something flexible that I was truly passionate about—and this course has been everything I hoped for. I don’t have a medical or physio background, so I was a bit nervous about the anatomy side, but the online content is so well-structured. It takes you through everything step by step, making it all make sense. Then, when we meet in person on the weekends, you can apply it practically and really see how it all fits together. The best part? The people. We come from such different backgrounds, but we’ve created this incredibly supportive environment where you feel safe to experiment and learn. Helen and Laura push you in the best way—not intimidating, but challenging in just the right way. I’d highly recommend it!"
"I’m a yoga teacher, but my training was more focused on the spiritual side rather than the physical, so I wanted to deepen my knowledge of functional movement. Since I already love SHP’s classes, doing their dynamic Pilates training felt like the right choice. The online elements have been brilliant—not overwhelming, but comprehensive enough to really build my understanding. As a busy teacher who also teaches yoga in the evenings, I found the flexibility of the online course really helpful. The best part? The in-person training days. Getting to work alongside people from such diverse backgrounds, with different levels of experience, has been so eye-opening. It’s an inspiring and supportive space, and I’ve loved every second of it."
