Pilates,
GYROTONIC®
and Yoga

After 7 operations I had lost confidence in my body. My GP referred me to Ingrid and within 6 months and together with her encouragement and affirmation I re learnt how to use my body . I learnt that every part of my body is interconnected. Her sessions have enabled me to regain my confidence and eliminate much of my pain. I am so grateful to her and her team.

I have been a client for around 5 years practicing both Pilates & Gyrotonic.   Ingrid & all the teachers are highly skilled & trained, always pushing us to reach our best & at the same time, extremely kind. 

What is unique about this studio is not only the staff delightful but so are the clients!  It is a lovely place to be, I cherish my two Gyro sessions, they are always highlights of my week!

A superbly run practice for all ages and stages. I am a golden oldie and Ingrid keeps me going. My Pilates programme is tailored to my needs.

I have been practicing Pilates and Gyrotonic with Ingrid Shaw for nearly 7 years, and I would highly recommend the beautiful and light filled studio space at Ingrid Shaw Pilates + Gyrotonic. Ingrid is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attuned to each student’s individual needs. The quality of the instruction is exceptional, highly skilled and Ingrid genuinely cares about the well-being of each of her students’ personal needs. The classes can be challenging, yet they leave me feeling stronger, centred, and rejuvenated. I appreciate how Ingrid encourages proper form and technique, ensuring that every movement is intentional and effective. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, Ingrid will help each individual progress at their own pace.

Attending Pilates at Ingrid Shaw Pilates and Gyrotonic has significantly improved my strength and reduced my back pain. After surgery to remove rods from my back, I struggled with pain due to weakness. Ingrid and her team developed a tailored plan to rebuild my strength, and as a result my back pain has significantly decreased. I’m quite cautious about working with healthcare practitioners who may not fully understand my injury, but Ingrid and the team have been consistently attentive and mindful of my condition. I’ve also experienced huge improvements to my general fitness and strength.

Thanks to Ingrid, I discovered the fabulous Gyrotonic Method after having done Pilates with her for over a decade. It involves stretching and strengthening, and I feel like a new person after each session. Ingrid really understands the way bodies work and my various strengths and weaknesses. She adapts every session to help me stay strong and flexible and to recover from injuries. Ingrid is such a dedicated, caring, experienced and knowledgeable instructor who continually keeps up to date with new ideas and techniques. And Ingrid’s airy and tranquil studio, nestled among the trees, is the ideal place to practice Gyrotonic and Pilates!

I can’t imagine my week without my gyrotonic session. I have gained core strength and understand my body so much more. Expert teaching in a tranquil tree-top studio has made this possible.

I have been seeing Ingrid for over 2 years and it has completely changed and improved my relationship with my body. As a professional dancer, understanding and having the tools to keep my physique strong and injury free is crucial when training and performing. Ingrid not only understands the idiosyncrasies of my body but continually works to develop new programmes to keep me in tip top shape. I always leave our sessions feeling strong and energized. Thanks to Ingrid, Pilates has now been implemented into my daily routine and I could not be more grateful as it has totally transformed by body and overall well-being.

Ingrid is a talented teacher who skilfully combines her professional balletic training with her consummate knowledge of the disciplines of pilates and Gyrotonic. Using excellent visualisation cues, exacting positioning techniques and varied classes, she achieves great results. My flexibility and tone improved in weeks, and I no longer feel any pain from prior sporting injuries. I highly recommend Ingrid Shaw’s studio.

Nicole (Client for 8 years)

I am very grateful to have Ingrid’s professional expertise over these past two years. My weekly classes are tailored and individualised to my complex and evolving needs . Ingrid is very attuned to the everchanging  patterns of my strength and mobility which has made all the difference to my health. Ingrid is kind, and always encouraging me to exercise harder to achieve my goals. I would highly recommend Ingrid’s classes especially to anyone needing help with their mobility and strength.

After years struggling with sciatica and back pain, I joined Ingrid’s Pilates and Gyrotonic studio. They guided me through the process of addressing my postural habits and strengthening my body. No short cuts, a beautiful path to health. Not all studios are the same, as I tried Pilates before.  Ingrid and the team are the best: A welcoming space and focus work for a happy mind and body.

John and I can''t tell you how much your yoga classes have made a difference in our life, while we often do different classes which mean different teachers, we love the variation this brings to our session...we can''t imagine how we have lived without Yoga for so long...and the weekend or the week for that matter is not the same unless we have gone to Yoga!!! Our bodies thank you!!...See you on Saturday and keep on doing what you do so well...we are yoga groupies now!

Judy

I am sixty something male who because of 24 years in the Australian Regular Army have several legacy injuries that used to require a visit to the physiotherapist every 6-8 weeks. In 2019 my partner suggested I should try Pilates. Initially sceptical, largely through ignorance, I am now an absolute convert. My balance, core strength, flexibility and posture are back to where I was 30 years ago. The added benefit of having to focus, particularly on your breathing ensures a refreshing physical and mental challenge. Ingrid’s and her team of Judith, Magda and Jen are outstanding instructors, and I look forward to every session.   PS: I have only been to a see a physiotherapist twice since I started Pilates.
