Why ocean wave ?
"I can't believe how quickly I've sorted out my neck and shoulder problems. In just five weeks, I can move my neck more than I've been able to in years - and that's after having long courses with chiropractors, physios, and massage therapists. I am most grateful to have lost the ‘tenseness’ that I've been carrying… I noticed a difference after my very first Pilates session at ocean wave pilates.”
Ms. A. Lewis, Brighton
“Good teachers can be made, but the truly great ones are born. Paul Anthony McLinden’s teaching is technically correct, yet innovative and creative. I urge you to attend… in fact, I envy you!”
Lynne Robinson, the world’s top selling Pilates author and co-founder of the Body Control Pilates Association
“Pilates doesn’t just work, it produces really quite amazing results. I have achieved a monumental 8 % increase in bone density and my doctors agree, it has to be from practicing Pilates! A big ‘thank you’ to my fantastic instructors at ocean wave pilates for the hard work we’ve all done together, both on the mat and on the equipment… it has been life enhancing in so many different ways.” -
Ms. S. Box, Hove
