Caroline Thorley
Caroline has over 10 years’ experience teaching mat and equipment Pilates. She came to Pilates when recovering from a serious back injury beginning as a client at Veronique Coignac’s studio in Hertfordshire. She later trained and taught with Veronique and her team before moving to Exeter.
As a movement teacher, Caroline aims to create a safe environment, encouraging clients to gain the knowledge and confidence in class to develop their own home practice. Questions, insights and suggestions are always welcomed in class.
For Caroline, continued professional development is a way of life, in addition to continuing with Pilates she also trained for a year in sports and remedial massage (Exmouth School of Massage, 2013) and more recently completed a year’s training in Hanna Somatics (Lisa Petersen, Somatic Exercise Coach 2019).
