Jody enjoys the experience of helping others attain their health and fitness goals through Pilates and Aerial. Jody loves to travel and (before Covid) used to often meet up with her adult daughter in far flung places for adventure holidays. She is an animal “tragic” and is rarely without a rescue dog sharing her life.

SOPHIE COTTON

Instructor – Reformer & Mat

Pilates and movement has always been a major part of Sophie’s life as she grew up a ballet dancer and trained full time for 4 years (in hopes to become a professional ballerina!). Covid unfortunately put a stop to those plans and she decided to start her instructor course through Polestar Pilates shortly after.

Sophie knew how much Pilates had benefitted her as an elite athlete and wanted to share it with as many of you as possible. Coming out of the ballet world, she is extra passionate about body positivity, strength and confidence and wants to help every single client feel their absolute best, mentally and physically, after leaving one of her classes. She is also commencing her studies in Nutrition this year to complement her current role in the health & wellbeing industry.

Sophie has now been teaching for 3 years and has never looked back! She can’t wait to continue meeting and sweating with you all.
