Seraphina Pilates & Yoga Reviews 

Extreme patience; no class is ever the same; zoom classes are like having 1-1 sessions. I think Suzy has eyes at the back of her head; has incredible knowledge of the body. I have been taught by Suzy on matt and equipment for many years and have attended many retreats (in Cyprus and in the New Forest) organised by Suzy and Mo, which I thoroughly recommend. I have reached the ripe age of 80 and Suzy's expertise is keeping me active in mind and my body working in the best possible way. Best teacher ever. Marilyn Sperling

Suzy is a brilliant Pilates teacher. Having done mat work with her for more than 10 years I have started on reformer with her, too. Suzy combines her extensive classical Pilates training with her dance experience and a huge knowledge and curiosity about physiology and movement. She knows exactly what my challenges are and helps me work through them to make me stronger and fitter. I wouldn't want to do Pilates with anyone else!

Suzy (of Seraphina Pilates) is a remarkable pilates and yoga teacher. I attend Zoom-based mat classes on a regular basis, in which she observes and corrects her students. And I have just returned from a long weekend in the New Forest where I enjoyed her teaching face-to-face and in a very intensive way. It definitely pays to attend four sessions of Suzy's expert tuition over some two days. At the end of it, I feel like a different person whose muscles and joints smoothly work as they are meant to and any niggles and pains have disappeared.

I’ve just done the Pilates & Yoga retreat in the New Forest. The classes were great – challenging (for me) without being unpleasant or too much! The teaching style is great: supportive with just the right amount of guidance from Suzy. The venue was perfect as was the food. I’d recommend it.

What a fantastic week I've just had!

My first Pilates and yoga treat with the wonderful Suzy and a small group of brilliant fellow attendees.

The location in Cyprus was perfect, doing Pilates and yoga in the open air by the sea under sunshine and clear blue skies just takes things to another level.

Suzy's teaching was brilliant as usual, always personal, different, and evolving - the fact that she's always learning and adapting means that things are never dull or formulaic. Her students really get to have an understanding of not just how bodies work in general, but of how their own bodies work in particular, and just what works best for them.

On top of that, I was in such good company ... everyone bonded so quickly and so well, and we shared so much joy and laughter.

Totally recommended.

This time last week I was relaxed and excited, I'd arrived at 'The Retreat' in the New Forest and the lovely Mo had quickly shown me to my room so I could get to my massage on time!

After a beautiful treatment the weekend hosted by Susie (Seraphina Pilates) surpassed my expectations. We began with some relaxing and restorative Yoga on the first evening. Then in the mornings Susie put us through our Pilates paces in a very knowledgeable and easy manner. There was challenge , but clear and fun instruction.

Susie and Mo are the perfect Retreat hosts, they were fun, entertaining and nurturing. If you want company they'll give it to you, if you want solitude they'll find it for you.

Nothing was too much bother and I'd recommend their Retreats to everyone whether you've done Pilates before or not. I attended not knowing anyone and not meeting Susie before but you'd never have known that.

The best recommendation I can give is I'll be on another Retreat with Susie and Mo again soon!

Looking for a Pilates teacher - you’ll find no-one better than Suzy

Suzy, through Seraphina Pilates, is the best Pilates teacher I have ever encountered. Good fun, serious about her vocation, able to respond to people of all levels and character, constantly renewing her approach and extending her knowledge. Suzy’s classes are excellent whether in person or virtual. Her library of Pilates films is really great. And she is an inspirational teacher.

Suzy's Yoga and Pilates retreat in the New Forest was an amazing, life giving weekend and I would reccomend it to anyone. I came home feeling like a new person after 2 days of Pilates, Yoga, great plant-based food, good company and time for self-care. Suzy is an incredible teacher, exceptionally talented and very experienced.

What a wonderful start to the New Year as a gift to myself I’ve just returned from a wonderful weekend retreat in the New Forest with Seraphina Pilates & Yoga. It was set beautiful location and venue and was a thoughtful and professionally executed programme of pilates and yoga. Suzy is an excellent teacher and guide to the intricacies of both disciplines blending encouragement and humour to get the best out of all the participants. I’m looking forward to the next retreat already!

I am so glad I found Suzy when searching for a pilates class almost 10 years ago now! She is a phenomenal teacher - I learn something new about my body and pilates in every class. And now that she is also teaching yoga it enriches the whole class experience all the more. I love that she continues to expand her own knowledge and share it with all her students. I can't recommend her enough!

I can't remember the number of years I have been attending live and online classes with Suzy. My work requires a strong back and a relaxed mind. basically she has kept me going. Thanks Suzy x

Suzy is a great teacher, no two sessions are the same and each one engages you completely so the time flies and suddenly the hour is up! I'd highly recommend her classes and they suit all abilities too.

Suzy is the best Pilates teacher. She has a wealth of knowledge and even what appears to be the smallest movement can work you very hard. I highly recommend her.

Suzy is a brilliant pilates teacher, she really knows her stuff and is able to explain the exercises/moves in a way that allows you to improve on your technique. You also get an understanding of how these moves benefit your body/mind. I have been going for a few years now and I still look forward to my weekly class. I would highly recommend.

Suzy is an incredibly talented Pilates teacher. When I left London for Staffordshire I found it impossible to find a class that came anywhere close to her dynamic classes. So imagine how thrilled I was to discover Suzy is now online and these virtual classes translate so well - the same energy, enthusiasm, expert instruction and individual attention I’ve missed so much. Highly recommended!!!

I was new to Pilates, though experienced in yoga, when I signed up to Suzy’s online classes in a pandemic ‘lull’. I needed to retain and build strength and maintain or better flexibility. What a wonderful teacher Suzy is! Drawing on both disciplines, she creates inimitable classes with warmth and focus. Suzy seemingly effortlessly manages differing levels of experience within the class, always aware of her students’ individual issues and targets. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Suzy is a very intuitive, experienced and enthusiastic teacher. She is always learning and her teaching evolves and flows with her new knowledge.
I can strongly recommend.
