Meet Viviane...
I have been teaching since April 2012 and my classes are Rebound at 6.30pm on Mondays, Pilates from 10am-11am on Tuesdays, Pilates at 9.30am on Wednesdays and on Thursdays at 5.50pm and 6.55pm. I also teach Pilates on Fridays from 11am-12pm and Rebound on Saturdays at 8.30am and Pilates at 9.30am.
I used to love all things high impact and fast moving until I got injured, now I love mindful movement being aware of how our bodies move, connecting breath to movement and strengthening our bodies from the inside out. I have found this to be very beneficial to ease anxiety, depression and general aches and pains. I’m a great believer in keeping my mind healthy through exercise.
Pilates and Yoga make me feel present and in the moment, I feel a sense of freedom and peace during my practice, I love the way it challenges me both physically and mentally, it’s definitely my therapy and time out from everything that’s going on in the world!
I love cake and an afternoon snooze 😊 and I’m bilingual (Swiss/German).
I am passionate about helping others overcome personal struggles with mental health as well as physical health, helping people get out of pain, move more freely and feel good about themselves.
