Marta Taylor
Hi, I’m Marta, a Pilates instructor with over 15 years of teaching experience. I began my movement journey in 2008 after completing comprehensive Ashtanga Vinyasa training with Larry Schultz in San Francisco.
My passion for Pilates began following a climbing accident that left me unable to move my arm. Through Mat Pilates training with BASI, I fully rehabilitated my shoulder, which led me to complete a comprehensive Pilates certification on the equipment.
In 2025, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a surgery. Pilates once again became central to my recovery, allowing me to safely rehabilitate my own body post-surgery. This experience shaped my continued education in women’s health and post-operative breast cancer rehabilitation.
I work with a broad range of clients, specialising in injury recovery, post-operative rehabilitation, posture, and women’s health. My approach supports strength, mobility, and confidence – helping clients move with ease and resilience at every stage of life.
