I have been taking classes for around 6 months at the Centro de movimento and am amazed. The centro is a lovely space. Maria is a great instructor for students of all levels. Her sessions are always well balanced with strength and stretching and my core is definitely much stronger. I would recommend this Pilates class to anyone.

I loved going to Maria’s Pilates sessions when I was in Portugal. I felt much healthier and more toned after a few weeks of attending. The sessions are fun and relaxed. Maria’s instructions are very clear and easy to follow in comparison to other Pilates sessions I’ve tried in England. I like the centre too because it is bright and spacious.

I love my Wednesday morning Pilates class, Maria makes the Pilates session a great experience. Maria is not only incredibly knowledgeable about Pilates but also has a gift for teaching and motivating her clients. The sessions are well-structured, challenging yet enjoyable, and are often tailored to individual needs and fitness leves. Maria provides clear instructions, corrections, and encouragement throughout the class, which has helped me improve my form and push myself further than I thought possible.

It’s been a revelation to discover the transformative effects practicing Pilates has been on my wellbeing and body. I’ve gained muscle strength and better balance. Maria makes everyone welcome and relaxed throughout the session,it’s a supportive,fun experience. I especially enjoy the Pilate challenges,with the props Maria supplies such as the exercise balls. Thank you Centro de Movimento & Maria.
