MI Pilates York

Fantastic experience: Janet is an excellent educator with several decades of experience. I have attended several of her workshops. Janet is very accommodating and over delivers value. The content she provides is very effective and easy to incorporate. I trust and highly recommend Janet.

Fantastic experience: Just had two classes one after the other. Baby Arc followed by Somatics, a great combination. Every Wednesday.

Fantastic experience: I am doing the online classes with Janet now for 4 weeks and feel more flexible and free in motion, especially in my back and shoulders. Janet is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher. I enjoy the classes very much..it is a highlight at present times.

Fantastic experience: I've been joining Janet for her online classes for the past few weeks and have loved every moment! Janet has transformed the format of online classes with her dynamic, personal approach and every time I have felt that I was guided through the movements and able to continue my day with a spring in my step. From booking online to joining the classes virtually, the process has been seamless and I would highly recommend joining! I can't wait until the studio has re-opened and the magic will continue in person!

Fantastic experience: As a pilates teacher, I love training with Janet at MI Pilates. She is very knowledgeable and is an amazing teacher. The studio provides a very welcoming environment, and I look forward to attending courses here.

Fantastic experience: I try to get to a class each week to help keep me mobile as I spend so much time either driving or in front of a computer. The exercises are tailored to the needs of each class and it is very safe exercise as Janet adapts exercises to account for individual needs such as bad backs, shoulders or knees. I would recommend Mi Pilates to anyone looking to keep mobile or return to mobility after illness.

Fantastic experience: Small classes with a very experienced and attentive teacher. Lovely studio space too.

Fantastic experience: The team at MI Pilates, York provide an expert service, I recommend everyone to take a class. Pilates is not just an exercise class it also helps condition our bodies to deal with everyday strains through incorrect posture and constant sitting at desks. It also helps better performance in sports by teaching us how to listen and use our bodies better. Give the classes a go! I did 1 year ago and have never looked back! I have a stronger more toned body and it has really helped with back pain.

Fantastic experience: Janet Wood is a fantastic teacher. Just took her class, For Foot Sake, to learn all about the foot... biomechanics, anatomy, stretching and care. Great half day course! Loads of interesting information, stretches, tips and a really great goodie bag. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having attended classes at MI Pilates Studio for the past 2 years, can thoroughly recommend the fantastic teaching and expert Pilates knowledge passed on to clients and students. My posture and flexibility have greatly improved which has also aided recovery from a lower back injury (like so many others, being my reason for practising Pilates). The classes are like no other I've attended and have started to include Reformer Pilates classes which are fantastic - love them! Whilst Reformer can be challenging I can absolutely see a difference in muscle tone and feel 10 feet tall upon leaving! Thank you to all at the Studio, especially Janet, can't praise you highly enough!! x

Fantastic experience: Janet is a complete professional and during the five years I have attended her reformer sessions she has kept her classes small, varied and progressive. She has the skills to make it fun and keep you safe!

Fantastic experience: Janet is a fantastic teacher. I started reformer Pilates with her only 3 months ago and have seen huge benefits. Firstly, as a runner I am much stronger and my times have improved (for both 5 and 10k). I am also running longer distances (most recently half marathon distance) and best of all I am in control of the niggles and injuries I have had in the past. Secondly having spent months in physio last year with different issues with little success resolving them these have all but gone. Her classes are fantastic and small so you get attention throughout. She provides great detail both for those new to Pilates and those with more experience. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: The way Janet teaches is simply superb. I have found MI Pilates very useful in building core strength and sorting out my back pain. But the technique is only as good as the instructor and how they are able to help you understand the movements and how to motivate. Janet is a great inspiring teacher and I can highly recommend her classes.

Fantastic experience: Janet is a wonderful instructor. I have been going for a few years now. Her knowledge seems to be infinite, and she gets the balance right of pushing you while being supportive.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, personalised approach. Ground-breaking and thought-provoking. Janet is an inspiration!

Fantastic experience: ried out Janet & Karen's Somatic classes and discovered a whole new body underneath my stressed out one. Can't believe how one class can make my body feel longer, limber and lighter. I am so enamoured with this technique that upon my move back to Canada I have registered for a weekend of training to discover my body in a more in depth way. You only need to try this once to be converted; Somatics is a way relax everyday stresses and injuries controlled by you! Thank-you Karen & Janet for changing my world.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Janet's Pilates classes for a number of years and every class is different. She listens to the class & changes the routine if someone has a particular problem. She pushes us to achieve movement we didn't think was possible. I always feel great when I finish the class. Can't recommend her enough!!!

Fantastic experience: Since starting Janets Mat and Reformer sessions at MI Pilates, I can say, with all honesty, that I have never enjoyed Pilates so much. As an instructor myself since 2010 and more recently certified with Balanced Body under Janets training, I find her teaching methods and wealth of information invaluable. The studio is very well equipped, she is very generous with her knowledge and as such, not only am I physically so much stronger but my own classes have benefited enormously. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Janet's classes have been the best thing I do to keep my body moving the way I would like. If you think Pilates is easy, or not for men, you are wrong. You will be challenged in every class. If it's good enough for American football teams it can help you. Give it a go, you won't look back... Or maybe you will but with a less stiff spine and better posture!

Fantastic experience: I do a weekly mat class and no matter what my working week brings before the class, I leave it feeling my mind is relaxed and my body has had a good stretch!

Fantastic experience: Love Pilates sessions at Mi Pilates. Invariably professional yet fun, with detailed and precise instructions. Any ability and individual need catered for. Definitely recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Each time I climb the stairs I wonder which parts of my body (and mind) are going to be challenged. Sometimes it’s hard , sometimes it’s gentle; but it’s always a work out that leaves you feeling a few inches taller. IPilates

Fantastic experience: I take Janet's mat class with equipment and have done for several years. I am not her best student as I always intend to do some work at home, but never get around to it! In the time I have been going to MI Pilates I have seen my posture improve - which was my most important goal, now I am in my early 50s I didn't want to grow a stoop - my upper strength has improved massively, as has my balance and my flexibility. I can roll around on the floor like a two year old, and still get up without groaning! I would highly recommend MI Pilates to get you moving smoothly and freely, you can start at any age, it's never too late to right some of the wrongs in your body caused by our daily lives, as I admit, I only do a class once a week, but I walk tall and freely. Janet is very informative and will help with any bodily queries and ailments, or if you're just like me, trying to hold back the ravishes of time to your body! Give it a go.

Fantastic experience: Janet of MI Pilates is a great teacher! Highly Recommended.

Fantastic experience: Janet is an awesome instructor--she makes you feel at ease, she's very knowledgeable, and she definitely challenges you at every workout. She makes you feel aware of your body and has really helped me with reducing my knee and back pain. Being new to York, finding MI Pilates and Janet has made me feel more at home.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful and demanding classes which I always leave a good 2 inches taller, feeling exercised all over, stretched in several dimensions and rather smug. Janet is an excellent teacher, entertaining and encouraging in equal measure.

Fantastic experience: Janet is a an excellent pilates instructor whose enthusiasm and expertise is clear. I found her classes to be challenging but with attention to the detail of the individual needs of her clients. Highly recommended!
