"Body Centering Pilates has transformed my life since a horse riding accident in which I broke my neck. I have more energy and confidence in my body's abilities than I could have imagined as a result of practicing pilates with Mags Clark-Smith for over six years."
“After years of constant pain following a severe whiplash
injury, I discovered Body Centering Pilates and Mags Clark Smith…
There is a consistency between the face-to-face teaching
and the presentation of the exercises on the DVD. It’s like having a ‘virtual’
Mags in my home!!
Body Centering Pilates has changed my life: I can lift my
children: That’s me at the end of the DVD.”

“Having suffered with asthma all my life … I was
constantly using my 3 inhalers and often had trouble breathing.
I can not believe the difference that Body Centering
Pilates has made to my life after 6 months. I have learnt how to breathe
properly, improved my posture and my inhalers are virtually redundant.
My husband who is a keen horseman was so impressed with [my] improvement … he now comes with me to
my Body Centering Pilates classes with Mags and feels that her teaching has
greatly improved his balance, posture and position on horseback.”
