Hi I’m Nicola Ferguson, welcome to my studio. I am a BASI (Body Arts and Science International) comprehensive Pilates teacher, with 18 years experience of pilates.
I completed my BASI teacher training in 2018 in the Middle East and have since gone on to complete Mentor and Master Level 1 training. It is hugely important to me to continually invest in my education in order to inform and improve my own teaching and practice . I am currently immersed in the BASI Legacy program which is the highest achievement within BASI Pilates. It is a life long journey, but one that continues so that I can best serve my clients. I also hold specialist Pilates training in injuries and pathologies.
Holding a degree in Psychoanalysis, I am drawn to the deep mind body connection of Pilates, when you can harness that mindful connection the transformation in your body can be truly life changing. Its not just about strengthening the body and your physical health, you can use your thoughts to positively influence your body’s physical responses and thereby decrease stress and improve your mood.
The studio is designed with that in mind, its a calm safe and uplifting environment, where you can leave the stresses of your busy life at the door and allow your mind to be quiet while you condition your body.
I want the studio to be your space, your space to take a step back, to breathe and connect with your body in ways you never have before. Then take that strength you experience in the studio and allow it to translate into all areas of your life.
With 18 years of dedicated Pilates practice under my belt, I've cultivated a deep understanding of the body, honed my technique, and witnessed firsthand the transformative power of consistent movement and alignment.
Through focused exercises, reformer Pilates hones the mind-body connection, leading to improved balance and fine-tuned coordination.
former Pilates utilises controlled movements to lengthen and stretch muscles, leading to greater flexibility over time.
Reformer Pilates offers a unique blend of resistance, flexibility, and alignment training, harnessing the power of the specially designed reformer machine to provide a dynamic and transformative full-body workout, perfectly suited to both beginners seeking foundational strength and seasoned practitioners looking to deepen their practice.
If you are looking for an amazing reformer/Pilates space, look no further you have found it.Nicola is exceptional, she explains everything and adjusts exercises to suit your needs.
Class is always varied so new challenges every time.I always leave feeling inches taller and energized, couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Nicola is an amazing Pilates instructor. Every class I have had with her is so different. Every muscle is taking into account and worked. I always come out feeling taller, straighter and more confident in my body and ready to face the world. She lifts me up in so many ways, I love going to my Plates.
I have a chronic pain condition and osteoarthritis in a lot of my joints. A lot of exercise is out for me or has become too difficult. I began working with Nicola over a year ago and it has being remarkable. I have less pain in my back and neck and am building strength all over which helps with my daily activities. I am stronger now in my 40’ s then I have ever being. Nicola is an amazing teacher with a wealth of knowledge which she clearly communicates I am so lucky to have the chance to work with Nicola who has definitely improved my quality of life and given me back confidence in my body.
