Following an injury, it was recommended that I do Pilates as part of my recovery plan. I had several one to one online classes with Shivani. I was super impressed as how Shivani was able to observe and correct via zoom. I have more awareness of my posture and everything was well explained. Every class was different and yet targeted. I have now joined the weekly group classes and am enjoying them. I have also had good feedback from my Osteopath on my injury. I would highly recommend Shivani.

If you hadn’t found a way to carry on i would have been back immobile and depressed so huge massive thank you

Shivani’s classes are really good, she works hard to vary every one and keep it interesting. It’s about the right level of demanding for beginners and intermediates, and she would take into account if you have an injury or other concern. She also diplomatically makes sure you do things right to make the exercises as effective as possible.

I have recently joined Shivani’s Pilates classes and loving them! Her instructions are very clear and she varies the classes each week so they are fun as well as a bit challenging! Even though I have an existing knee condition and cannot do all the exercises, Shivani accommodates this and gives me some alternative exercises when needed. Since the classes I have noticed an improvement to my knee, hip and general mobility. If you have any injuries/aches or pains or just stiff shoulders and necks from too many hours in front of a computer on zoom meetings, I suggest trying Shivani’s classes as they have helped me enormously – not just my knee but my whole posture. Thank you Shivani!

I have been attending Shivani’s Pilates classes for nearly 4 months. The classes are always small which means Shivani can teach very good technique in all the moves. She is excellent at giving a lot of variety and using different equipment to help. Her classes are always fun and informative without being over complicated. The hour goes by too quickly!! I have become stronger, feel more energized and my posture has improved. I highly recommend Shivani’s Pilates.

Small groups allow for individual treatment so the exercises can be adapted to suit with either an easier or more challenging form.

I always leave the class feeling refreshed and relaxed even though I had a good workout. It’s my favourite way to exercise.

I started pilates with Shivani in January. Carrying my laptop everyday was beginning to take a toll on my back and shoulders. From the first class I felt my muscles loosening up and my posture and core strength getting better. What I love about the classes are the small groups and the individual attention that she provides to each student along with explanations of the exercises. Shivani also has a warm and positive manner that makes the classes very enjoyable but also pushes you to work hard to achieve results.

Shivani is a wonderful Pilates teacher. I have had others, but none as knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant as Shivani. The classes move at a good pace and you quickly feel the effects of increased muscle tone and core strength. Previously I had frequent lower back problems but none since doing Pilates. I cannot recommend Shivani as a Pilates teacher more highly.

I’ve being practicing Pilates with Shivani for 3 months now. I started in order to complement and help prevent injury from the strength training and running that I already do. I find Shivani’s session a real challenge as it involves engaging muscles I would not normal use. Great for improving core stability and posture!

I would highly recommend Pilates with Shivani as her instructions are clear and easy to understand.
Contrary to what most believe Pilates is definetly NOT just for girls!

I did sessions with Shivani and I can tell you why you must choose ‘PilatesbyShivani’ and why I would do again.

1. Very involved sessions
2. Even though it was group sessions I did, there was personal attention for every posture and every move.
3. She pushes up the regime or down based on what your body is ready for
4. Most importantly she explains what every exercise does and where it affects.
5. She knows her stuff 🙂
Highly recommend.

I came to practice Pilates with Shivani following physio for a sports injury in October 2017. The benefit of practice has been noticeable in just a few months and helped considerably with recovery. The combination of the exercises and Shivani’s tailored and focussed teaching style is invaluable. Thanks Shivani-really enjoy your classes!

My physiotherapist recommended Pilates to strengthen my core. I am an active person who also regularly did yoga for past few years. I have now stopped yoga as it made my pain worse. Starting Pilate classes with Shivani has been a great start. She understands every student’s strengths and weaknesses and advises each student what exercise is good for their condition. Most importantly she explains what each exercise does and its benefits. Pilates is truly a great way to strengthen your core and really works on your deeper muscles. Shivani is a brilliant Pilate instructor.

Was very nervous about starting pilates but Shivani made me feel very much at ease. I really enjoy my Friday class and look forward to my “me” time at pilates every week. Thanks Shivani!

I have been attending Pilates with Shivani since September 2017 and can honestly say it is a highlight of my week. I always look forward to my lesson, and indeed have made it an essential part of my fitness regime. Shivani is always happy to share her knowledge with the class and has given me some exercises that have alleviated minor aches and pains. I am much more aware of my breathing and posture and of course the all important pelvic floor!

The classes are small and Shivani approaches them with kindness and humour.

Good sessions with interesting information, well planned and varied, individual attention. Also friendly and enjoyable.

Following a knee injury my physio recommended I do Pilates as part of my recovery. I have been having private lessons with Shivani for the past 10 weeks and can see a marked improvement and am feeling stronger. Shivani is an excellent teacher, she explains every move, and pushes you a bit further every time. She has really helped me work on improving my entire body and I am looking forward to joining her regular classes. I highly recommend Pilates by Shivani.

Shivani is an amazing Pilates teacher. She Takes her time with us all individually, keeps in touch when we are not in classes and is always giving information to us to help with our mental health as well as our physical health. Definitely recommended 🙂
