Summary
You’ll walk out of sessions feeling looser and more switched on, with a routine you can repeat and build on. You’ll know what to do when a knee, hip, shoulder, or lower back needs a different option that day.
Most people who reach out want something they can keep up week to week, and they want a teacher watching form so small aches do not get louder. You’ll get clear options, steady progress, and a plan for what to book next.
I start by finding what you can do comfortably today, then I build from there. In class I cue the same movement a couple of ways, offer a simpler and a stronger option, and keep checking for the difference between working effort and pain that means stop and change it.
Who you are working with
I’m Carys Morgan, a Yoga and Pilates teacher. I started teaching because I kept meeting people who thought they were “too stiff” for movement classes, then surprised themselves once they had clear steps and a teacher paying attention. My focus is practical: breath, joint-friendly strength, and mobility you can use at a desk and on the walk home.
People usually pick me because I teach in a way that keeps things simple and observable. I’ll tell you what to feel for, what to avoid, and what to do instead, then I’ll watch you try it. I don’t push stretches for the sake of it. I’d rather you leave with two strong basics you can repeat.

How the sessions run
A session is 50 to 60 minutes in the studio. Wear something you can move in. I’ve got mats and props here, and you’re welcome to bring your own. I’ll offer options throughout so you can keep moving without guessing.
1. Quick check-in Start I’ll ask what you want from today’s session and what feels sensitive right now, like a lower back, knee, hip, or shoulder. If you’re in a course or on a 1:1 plan, I’ll also check what you practised since last time and what felt unclear. 2. Warm-up and mobility First 15min We start with joint movement and easy strength to get heat into the body. I’ll cue breath and pace, then I’ll give you a couple of ways to do the same move so you can stay comfortable. If something pinches or sharpens, I’ll change the shape. 3. Strength focus Middle This is where the work sits, usually a Pilates core and glute series with simple progressions. I’ll coach alignment and tempo, and I’ll tell you what “good effort” tends to feel like. You can expect clear rest points and resets so form stays honest. 4. Cool-down and review Last 10min We finish with mobility and a breath-led cool-down. I’ll check how things feel after the stronger work, then I’ll suggest what to repeat at home between sessions. If you’re booking week to week, I’ll also point you to the next class that fits.
Sessions and prices
Most people start with a single session, then move onto a course or a monthly option once they’ve found a rhythm that fits their week.

Fee summary
Do I need to be flexible to start?
No. Flexibility is something you build, and it comes faster when you feel safe and steady. I’ll give options from the first class so you can work at a level that makes sense for your body, then add range over time.
WHAT DO I DO IF I’VE GOT A BAD BACK OR DODGY KNEE?
Tell me at the start of the session and I’ll coach around it. I’ll offer alternatives and I’ll be clear about the difference between muscular effort and pain that means stop. If something feels wrong, you won’t be stuck guessing.
Is this more yoga, more Pilates, or both?
It depends on what you book. My drop-in yoga classes lean more into mobility, balance, and breath. Pilates mat classes lean more into core, hips, and glutes. In private sessions I can blend both, based on what you want to build.
HOW BIG IS THE CLASS AND WILL YOU CORRECT ME?
Classes are kept to a size where I can see everyone move. I do correct, and I do it in a straightforward way: a cue you can follow, an option if you need it, and a check that it feels better. You can always ask for a quieter correction too.
Payment
I invoice memberships at the start of each month, before the sessions in that month take place. Nothing is paid up front beyond that. Every invoice is payable within 7 days of its date.
Cancellations. If you need to cancel or reschedule, tell me as soon as you can so I can offer the space to someone else. My cancellation notice period and any late-cancellation or no-show fee are set by me.
Arriving late. If you’re running late, come in quietly and join when it’s safe to do so. I’ll keep the class moving for everyone, so I may not be able to repeat the warm-up.
Health and injuries
Let me know at the start of the session about any pain, injuries, pregnancy, or recent changes from physio. I’ll coach options, but you’re responsible for working within your limits and stopping if something feels wrong.
What this is and is not. Yoga and Pilates teaching is coaching and guided exercise, not medical care, physiotherapy, or diagnosis. I can’t guarantee a specific result, but I will coach your form and help you train safely and steadily.
Course and membership use. Courses and memberships are for the sessions listed in your booking. Any expiry, carry-over, or make-up session rules are set by me, and I’ll confirm them in writing when you book.
