“Change happens through movement and movement heals”

Strength - Function - Movement

Welcome to Sophie Sharpe Pilates Practice

I’m Sophie and I offer mat based Pilates classes from beginner through to advanced level in the New Forest.

I also offer one to one sessions, which are tailored to suit your needs and can be held in the comfort of your own home or at one of my community locations; Whiteparish, Woodgreen, Fordingbridge, Bartley and Cadnam.

My online Pilates studio can also be used if you prefer to do your sessions at home or on demand at a time convenient to you. The online studio also contains a whole catalogue of classes at your fingertips.

My passion is to help people feel stronger, healthier and happier within themselves. I strongly believe in movement is key to keeping our bodies young and our minds younger. I work with all ages from 40 - 85 years old, creating fun, safe, therapeutic and dynamic classes to help inspire everyone to move. I specialise in helping people with back pain, osteoporosis and arthritis as well as those recovering from an injury. My aim is to ensure everyone is progressing towards the goals they wish to meet at a pace and level at which they feel comfortable.

Show your body some love, explore your movement potential through Pilates. I believe Pilates is for everybody, and every ‘body’, to enhance their athletic pursuits, rehabilitate or avoid injury, or to simply move better.

What my clients say …

  • I can thoroughly recommend these classes, Sophie is a great pilates teacher!

    Helen

  • I've had rheumatoid arthritis for over 30 years and haven't found any classes suitable for me until I started pilates with Sophie. Her knowledge of anatomy and understanding of my individual needs is a breath of fresh air, my posture is improving and also my overall movement which in turn is beneficial to pain
