Meet your instructor
Movement has always been a big part of my life. Before becoming a Pilates instructor, I trained at Rambert School, spent ten years as a professional dancer and gained an MA in Performance Dance from the University of Chichester.
Now, I bring that experience to Pilates: an eye for alignment, an appreciation of control and a love of helping people feel more connected to their bodies.
My mat classes are a chance to carve out time for yourself, build strength and enjoy moving with intention.
Learning, sharing & growing
Continuing professional development (CPD) means keeping my knowledge and teaching skills growing through further training, workshops and practice. My aim is to bring what I learn back to you through thoughtful classes, clearer guidance and more ways to adapt movement.
I’m about to embark on fully comprehensive Pilates training with MK Pilates and Drummond Education, building on my mat and reformer qualifications.
Comprehensive training explores the wider Pilates apparatus system, including the Tower/Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel and Spine Corrector, alongside how the equipment and mat work connect. It’s an opportunity to deepen my understanding of the method and develop my teaching through study, practice and mentoring.
Before you arrive
Here are a few useful things to know before joining us.
For Cotham Parish Church, book through Clare Finnie Pilates on Gymcatch. For the Monday Stockwood class, book through Feelgood Fitness.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in and bring some water. Please bring your own mat to the Cotham class.
Let Clare know it’s your first class when you arrive, so she can help you get settled and explain what to expect.
The £60 five-class pass is for Clare’s Cotham classes booked through Gymcatch. Stockwood classes are booked separately through Feelgood Fitness.
Cotham classes: please check the cancellation window, refund or class-credit rules and five-class pass terms shown on Gymcatch before booking. Manage your booking there, or contact me if you need help.
Stockwood classes: bookings are managed by Feelgood Fitness, so the studio’s cancellation and refund terms apply. Please contact the studio about changes.
Private and corporate sessions: cancellation, rescheduling and any venue-hire terms will be agreed with you before your booking is confirmed. Please get in touch as soon as possible if your plans change.
