We're 'embracing the new normal' by offering a range of face to face and online sessions via Zoom.
This includes Mobility Pilates, Trigger Point Pilates, Relaxation and 1:1's which can focus on anything!
My monthly membership ensures classes are viable and available to as many as possible - so that when and if you're ready to venture back indoors or outdoors you can, or if you find it more practical and comfortable to participate at home, there are options for that too.

Coming soon to Warriors Fitness Centre in Buxton
and to The Yoga Den
I'll be offering a range of courses and classes including sports injury rehabilitation for back and hips, a shoulder injury and surgery course, and a 4 week course designed specifically to enhance your yoga practise with releases for hips, shoulders and hamstrings.

I run 5 week programmes of Shhh!- Trigger Point Pilates for Pelvic floor and women's health and introducing Trigger Point Pilates Evolve - a wider health programme focused around hormonal changes pre/post and during menopause. In these sessions we'll focus more on breathing and exercises including self massage for relaxation and talk about other factors which can affect your mind and body including nutrition, hydration and what foods to include and try and cut down to improve mood, focus, weight gain/loss and for immune support.
The 5 week course via Zoom is £50 and you'll get a resource pack including samples of herbal teas and a few little things to help with relaxation. Contact me for full information.

Trigger Point Pilates classes have been developed by fitness expert Lydia Campbell following years of research and trials into trigger point and myofascial release, using foam rollers and balls to tackle chronic pain, back and neck pain and to help in rehabilitation from surgery. The mat based class is getting amazing results after just one session. If you've been told to 'live with the pain' or have been taking painkillers for years, try this class, it really can help make a difference. It is also great class to help prevent these conditions in the first place - by focusing on increasing your flexibility and core strength with the aid of resistance bands.
Louise came with limited mobility in her shoulder that she was told wouldn't get much better - 'We'll see.. I told her at her first session.
"I can’t recommend Fit2RelaxLondon enough! Karen really takes the time to get to know your individual needs and pitches the classes so that they are suitable for a range of abilities. I’d suffered from a frozen shoulder and had come to accept that I would have limited mobility. I started Trigger Point Pilates and 6 months later was amazed by the range of movement that I had. Karen instructed me twice weekly via Zoom during lockdown. The 1 to 1 classes combined mobility, strength building and relaxation. Karen has a real talent for knowing when to push you. Karen’s classes are thoroughly enjoyable -the fact you’ll walk out taller and feeling re-energized is an added bonus!"
Oonagh says,
"Karen’s Pilates classes improved my flexibility, strength and back related issues. Classes are small and intimate which means she can spend adequate time on her attendees ensuring each person is getting the most out of the session.

Classes are small and intimate which means she can spend adequate time on her attendees ensuring each person is getting the most out of the session. Karen provides a variety of classes including inclusive Pilates which are mainly chair-based which is great for people who have disabilities. I progressed to joining the Trigger Point sessions and love my roller but can now do mobility, breathing and relaxation at home. I cannot recommend Karen’s classes highly enough."
The sessions are designed to increase mobility, flexibility and self confidence and then move on to strengthening exercises - all to help improve posture, balance and general wellbeing. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss a community based session or a session for an event.

"being a front line worker during COVID was very stressful and I realised my own wellbeing was being affected. I joined Karen's wellbeing and women's health session for a few weeks, in addition to having short weekly 1:1 sessions to fit around my schedule. The tension in my neck & back decreased but also taking time out to relax has improved my wellbeing. My first session on a roller - wow, the release and stretch I felt in my shoulders was amazing''. Sue - health practitioner.
I offer one to one sessions targeted both around rehabilitation and osteopathic conditions (such as hip mobility and hypermobility which can affect the shoulders). For more advanced levels of personal fitness I can help enable a return to sporting activity or if you are training for a specific event such as a 10k run.

Whilst I know rearranging work spaces and providing balls as seats isn't for everyone, I can help improve your work forces' posture and concentration, whilst giving them breathing techniques and relaxation exercises to help ease the stress of our busy lives.
Prior to Covid19 I was teaching regular corporate sessions at Canary Wharf and the Ark, Hammersmith and delivering one off workshops around wellness and relaxation. Check out the corporate page for more info on what I can offer.

I offer fun, yoga based activity sessions for all ages - from toddlers to teens and can develop sessions to suit a variety of age ranges and settings. I've delivered in schools, parks, at a number of events and to community groups including SEN Support groups.
Family yoga works by developing both adult and child confidence and communication, to try new things together, to laugh, play and explore body and mind. Often those most wary at the beginning of the session, are those having the most fun at the end and who get the most from the session! I've had some amazing feedback as you can see, including 'Yoga makes me feel calm', 'its good for my mental health' and 'it was great to learn together' For older children, we can focus more on yoga poses and mental health awareness - learning to focus, relax and reenergise our mind as well as developing our physical strength, flexibility, balance and coordination.
