Pilates From Within - Rock Your Body Truth - Haslemere

Clare R.

I have been going to Pilates From Within for about 18 months.
I try not to miss my weekly mat class and every few months do a few 1:1 apparatus classes.

I have loved every moment and since going my curvature of the spine has improved significantly; I am losing weight and feel stronger and fitter.

The Studio is calm and relaxing and the atmosphere is very therapeutic. I have met some lovely people there too.

Karen is caring, sensitive and a very knowledgeable, supportive teacher.

I had previously experienced two online Tibetan Sound Bowl Healing sessions with Karen and found them hugely beneficial.
I have now been fortunate to experience an in-person session in Karen's studio and can honestly say it is one of the most incredible feelings I've ever had.
Before the session, I'd felt an imbalance in my body that I couldn't quite explain; something just didn't feel right!
As soon as Karen began, the sounds generated from the bowls went to work immediately. I could feel energies releasing and shifting throughout my entire body. I felt so calm and relaxed I didn't want the session to end. Once finished, Karen explained how my body's normal vibratory frequencies would be restored and that the healing continues to resonate through the body for the next few days. Nearly a week on and I feel great. I can thoroughly recommend Karen, her expertise is second to none, and her enthusiasm is wonderful. Thank you so much.

Karen is the most accomplished, patient and knowledgeable Pilates instructor. I'm not particularly flexible and she's always patient and works
with me. In the past year I've started going to her Tibetan Bowls healing. Her voice is calming and every time a different yet wonderful experience.
I've recently done a couple of Zoom Sessions and although miss seeing this lovely lady in person, the phenomenal feeling of calm is still the same. I love being in my bed and hearing her dulcet tones. Can't recommend her enough. she's all round FANTASTIC.

“I have experienced Karen’s Tibetan Bowls sound healing meditation in her studio a couple of times before and have found them to be relaxing and very beneficial. This weeks session was done by zoom in the comfort of our own homes. I found this even more effective as I was able to completely relax in the knowledge that if I did fall asleep, no one would be able to hear me snoring!

Karen's warm, compassionate approach to the practice is incredibly powerful. She guided the group through a relaxation talk and visualisation at the start, which allowed me to melt away in a lovely stillness and into a deep sleep. The sound of the Tibetan Bowls and the frequency and vibration was perfect as it helped to emerge myself in a lovely calm space. I woke up to the sound of her soothing voice gently bringing me back from a very deep sleep.

I slept really well that night and woke up the next day with more energy than I had for a long time and felt much invigorated. I also noticed that it had helped with my digestion which was a bonus!

I would like to add that if anyone did feel hesitant attending a sound healing meditation in a studio environment, where you might not feel comfortable being with a small group of people you may not know. A zoom experience is highly recommend, after the initial introduction where Karen describes what to expect, you will then be asked to mute and turn your video off so it will be private, this will assist in a complete healing and cleansing experience! I highly recommended Karen’s classes particularly in this difficult time.

Karen, thank you, It was a real treat for my body, mind and soul!

I have been doing 1 to 1 Pilates with Karen for several years, both in her beautiful studio and over Zoom. She is an expert at what she does and takes time and care to get to know you and to tailor the exercises to your individual needs. She is also a lovely person. Despite me being a complicated case, the results have been amazing. In particular, a frozen shoulder I was suffering from no longer gives me any trouble, and my back problems have improved significantly. I can also highly recommend her healing treatments: in particular 1 to 1 sound healing with bowls which had a quite frankly miraculous effect on me when I was suffering from low energy. I still can't explain it!

I have done Pilates for many years on and off. I have just completed Part 1 of Karen's mat workshop. It was amazing to go back to the basics and learn everything again. Did I ache afterwards or what!!! But I am doing the daily practice as challenged to do by Karen.
I have had so many joint, muscle etc issues over the years, but Karen identified them and worked with me, to help me understand how I need to do things differently. The benefit has been immediate. I have now been to one of her group classes which I thoroughly enjoyed, I felt my tight muscles relax, this then, enabled me to perform the exercises better.
I am booked in for a private 121 session to get her to really help me understand how I can improve my flexion and I am looking forward to Part 2 of the mat workshop.
Karen is enthusiastic and encouraging, she loves teaching, it just flows from her being.
So thank you Karen Eccles, you've been inspirational for me.

Karen is not only lovely but more importantly an excellent Pilates teacher working from her very nice studio in Haslemere. She teaches both group and one to one and she is without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had here or in London. She knows the body very well, and understands your needs, she has an eagle eye and is very good at explaining how movements should be made. I could not recommend her more highly.

I'm new to Pilates and, as someone suffering with sciatica, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do the exercises and benefit accordingly. Karen has been brilliant at both monitoring my posture and movement and explaining how best to do the exercises.
She's very experienced (and patient.!) and I'm impressed with how she's helping me.
I can't recommend her one on one sessions highly enough.
