If you're new to Pilates or joining an existing class (not Beginners only), I recommend an initial one-to-one assessment.
This allows us to evaluate your posture, individual needs, and medical history, while teaching you the Pilates principles and how to apply them to your body. The assessment ensures you join the most suitable class at the right level. This is essential for anyone referred by a medical professional or wishing to join Back4Good classes.
Pilates for Singers
In my voice gym I offer a specialised pilates course designed for vocalists and public speakers. Classes focus on freeing the breath and allowing movement to unlock your vocal potential.
What is Voice Gym?
Pilates-based training addressing the physical demands of singing and public speaking. Rib cage mobility, breath capacity, postural alignment, and tension release in shoulders, neck, and jaw. Learn how your body mechanics directly impact vocal performance, power, and stamina
Who is this for?
Professional and amateur singers of all genres, choir members experiencing vocal fatigue, anyone wanting to improve breath support and vocal resonance, or performers or public speakers dealing with performance-related tension and anxiety.

FAQs
-
Pilates strengthens your core breathing muscles, improves rib cage expansion, corrects posture that restricts airflow, and releases tension that limits vocal production.
-
Do I need to be fit?
No - sessions are tailored to your current fitness level. The focus is on functional movement for singing, not athletic performance. -
No. Whilst I am a trained singer myself, these voice gym classes are designed to improve the physical foundation, complementing your vocal training rather than replacing it. Many singers work with both a vocal coach and physical trainer.
-
Most singers report better breath control and reduced tension within 4-6 sessions. Vocal stamina and power typically improve over 8-12 weeks.
