Rhys is a qualified Pilates teacher in both Reformer and mat Pilates. He first discovered Pilates and yoga as a complement to his marathon training, finding that Pilates was an effective way to build strength, improve movement and help prevent injuries.

Rhys initially trained as a yoga teacher in Anusara Yoga, an alignment-based practice, studying with Bridget Woods Kramer. He later went on to train in Pilates, studying STOTT Pilates and its contemporary, biomechanical approach to movement. Rhys is currently working towards his comprehensive qualification with STOTT. Both practices have given him a strong understanding of alignment and how to help the body move with greater awareness, balance and grace.

Drawing on his STOTT Pilates training, Rhys structures his classes to guide the body through purposeful sequences, with a focus on alignment and mindful movement. Classes build progressively in intensity, creating opportunities to challenge and strengthen the body while maintaining control and good form.
