Build strength. Understand your body. Move with confidence.
Curious about Pilates but not quite sure what all the fuss is about? Or already a Pilates fan, but bored of classes that all feel a bit… samey?
You’ve found your people.
Personalised mat Pilates in Farnborough, with intelligent movement, plenty of variety and absolutely no taking ourselves too seriously.
I’m a Level 3 qualified mat Pilates teacher with a background in communications and a real passion for helping people understand how their bodies move. After discovering how powerful Pilates can be when it is taught clearly, purposefully and around the individual, I created Body Belief Pilates to offer the same experience to others.
Learn the why behind the movement, not just the exercise itself, so you can take that understanding with you into your everyday.
Build the kind of strength that makes everything else feel easier. From everyday movement to the things you love doing.
Pilates built around your body, your goals and your starting point. The right challenge, and the right support to give you more confidence in what your body can do.
My Promise to You...
Build Strength
Understand Your Body
Move with Confidence
About the instructor
Rosie Bannister
The private garden studio
Curious? Start here...
It looks simple from the outside, but once you start connecting breath, strength, balance, control and concentration, it gets surprisingly challenging, surprisingly quickly.
And that’s what keeps it so interesting.
A small change in position can completely alter an exercise. A different cue can suddenly help something click. You start finding muscles you didn’t know you had, which fuels your understanding of where your strength is coming from leading to discovering new ways to create stability, power and ease in the way you move.
That understanding matters, because it’s where confidence starts to build. The more you understand what your body is doing. and experience what it’s capable of, the more you can begin to trust it.
That’s really what Body Belief Pilates is about.
You won’t just be given a sequence of exercises to copy and be sent on your way. I’ll help you understand what you’re doing, why we’re doing it and what you might notice in your own body along the way.
Pilates gets a whole lot more interesting when you understand the thinking behind it. And the more you know about how your body moves, the more you can take that knowledge with you into other exercise, everyday life and whatever you decide to try next.
Pilates is clever stuff...
Don't just take my word for it...
Rosie is knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely passionate about what she does. I really appreciate the way Rosie explains everything so clearly and takes the time to make sure I'm doing each movement correctly. Her sessions feel relaxed and enjoyable, but I can definitely feel that I've worked afterwards! I would happily recommend her to anyone thinking about giving Pilates a try.

Thank you for the Pilates session! I can really feel it today, especially in my thighs. I had forgotten how doing some movements on a mat can have such an impact on your muscles! You are a great teacher and your guidance helped me to feel in control despite not doing Pilates for a long time.

Wow. My bum feels great!
