Meet the instructor

Welcome to Total Pilates.  My name is Emma Sylvester and I am a qualified APPI (Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Instructor), Level 3 CIMSPA Yoga Teacher and Level 3 Exercise Referral Instructor. I have been practicing Pilates for over 17 years and Yoga 3 years.

Before I started teaching, I graduated as qualified Sports Therapist and worked at Coventry Primary Care Trust within Physiotherapy, as a Technical Instructor delivering back pain, arthritis and other rehabilitation classes. I worked in this sector for over five years, before moving into the leisure industry where I completed my REPS Level 2 and 3 fitness instructing qualifications.

I previously used to teach Pilates at Hinckley Leisure Centre, before going on to set up my own business – Total Pilates in 2016. I love teaching and find it so rewarding meeting lots of new people.

My Pilates and Yoga classes have a personal touch and everyone that attends is so welcoming….whatever the level. If you are struggling with back pain, stress or anxiety or just want to tone up, then these classes are for you.
