Zilla Baker Pilates

Hello!

I have been teaching for over 15 years, having trained with STOTT PILATES®.

I hold their highest level of certification across all Pilates Studio Equipment and Matwork - and am proud to say that I scored 98% in their ridiculously gruelling exams...not sure where that 2% went, but there we go! 

​

Over the years I have taught Pilates to everyone from professional athletes, those needing rehabilitation from illness and/or injuries and surgery, the expectant and post-partum mum, young dancers, the very elderly and everyone in between who want to get strong, move well and feel their best.

​I am also the Founder and former owner of Guildford Pilates Place, Guildford's original - and dare I say, best - Pilates studio, offering Reformer and Matwork classes, alongside Equipment 1:1s. 

​

I have recently sold the studio to one of my team and because I love the place, my fellow teachers and our clients, I still teach my studio-based 1:1s there. What this move is allowing me to do however is have a little more freedom to explore new ventures and reignite former roles that I left behind to focus on the studio.

​

​Before I was a Pilates person, I worked in Advertising, Arts Marketing, Higher Education and Management Consultancy. I am also TEFL-qualified (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), an experienced Voice-over Artist and Mezzo-Soprano. I have an 18 year old son off to university and spend my time running in the Surrey Hills, trotting off down to my homeland of the New Forest and travelling whenever I get the chance.

​

I look forward to meeting you soon!
