Cara began her Pilates journey as a client at Ten Health and Fitness in 2018. What began as a way to stay active soon became a central part of her wellbeing. Living with Myasthenia Gravis, she has seen how Pilates can help stabilise the body through change, build resilience, and support recovery. Having also experienced major surgery, physiotherapy, and years of sport, she understands the realities of fluctuating strength and brings empathy and patience to every client she teaches.
Her belief that growth is rarely linear and that progress is personal shapes the way she teaches. Cara focuses on mindful movement and control, encouraging clients to listen to their bodies, build strength gradually, and move with purpose. Her classes are structured yet fluid, helping clients feel grounded, strong, and supported wherever they are in their journey.
Trained in ballet from the age of three to twenty-two under the Royal Academy of Dance, Cara has a deep understanding of good form, posture, and body alignment. Before becoming an instructor, she worked in law and holds an LLB, an LLM in Law and Business, and an LLM in Banking and Debt Finance. Her legal background developed her analytical mindset and attention to detail, qualities that now inform her teaching style and the care she brings to every class.
For Cara, Pilates is more than exercise. It is a practice of balance, awareness, and self-connection. It reminds her that strength comes in many forms and that every journey, no matter how uneven, is worth celebrating.
