Meet the team Q&A! This week we’re meeting the fabulous Vanessa, one of our brilliant reformer teachers. Vanessa’s classes are the perfect way to start your week feeling energised, strong & grounded in your body. Her classes are a perfect balance of mindful movement and exploring the reformer in a fun, challenging way.

Hi Vanessa!
Q: What are your self care rituals for wellbeing?
A: As someone who suffers with lower back and knee issues, I make sure I attend a regular mat class each week, and squeeze in a reformer class when time allows. As someone much more knowledgeable than me states: never trust a pilates teacher who doesn’t do pilates 💯

Q: At the Oak House we believe in balance and keeping it real - what are your guilty pleasures?
A: I’m (very) partial to a glass of bubbles, and I spend far too much time scrolling on social media / being on my phone in general. It’s a struggle but I am getting better at putting it down - the phone that is, not the glass of bubbles! 🥂

Q: What’s your star sign, coffee order & favourite song?
A: I’m Cancerian - 19th July. Americano with milk.
Current favourite song is DJ Fat Tony’s remix of Everything She Wants by Wham 🪩

Q: Describe your pilates offerings/vibe in 3 words:
A: Fresh, Friendly & Fun 🔥
