SARAH JAQUES

Sarah is a passionate and experienced movement specialist with a deep commitment to making exercise accessible, empowering, and sustainable for all. She first discovered Pilates in 2009 while seeking rehabilitative exercise to help manage the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Sixteen years later, Pilates remains an integral part of her life — supporting her recovery from injuries, maintaining overall wellbeing, and keeping her out of the physio’s office!

Sarah’s classes are rooted in a deep understanding of the body and a belief in the transformative power of mindful movement. Her teaching blends precision, compassion, and a touch of humour, whether she's guiding a dynamic Pilates session or a calming, breath-focused yoga practice.

In addition to her Pilates expertise, Sarah is a Yoga Alliance RYT 500-hour qualified yoga teacher, offering Hatha and Yin-influenced classes that weave together movement, traditional philosophy, breathwork, and relaxation. These styles perfectly complement her Pilates teaching, supporting complete mind-body maintenance.

Sarah specialises in working with individuals who live with orthopaedic conditions such as osteoporosis, sciatica, arthritis, and scoliosis, as well as those managing other health concerns that can make traditional exercise challenging. Her passion for inclusive fitness has led to a long-standing partnership with Havant Borough Council’s Get Up and Goprogramme, which promotes physical activity among residents with mild to moderate physical or mental health conditions.
