Jackie Carruthers is a qualified Modern Pilates Instructor new to the Stockport area. Jackie qualified under the expert tutorship of Cherry Baker  who also one of the designers of Modern Pilates .

Jackie trained as an Olympic gymnast from the age of 7 - 17 years and is fully aware of the discipline but enjoyment needed to commit to any form of regular exercise.

After many years as a Learning and Development Consultant and after many hours sat at a laptop, jackie decided to combine her love of exercise with her love of training and embarked on the safe and clinically-based Modern Pilates  whereby she could continue to meet people and reward them with a better educated body.

"The great thing about Modern Pilates is that it is for everyone and the benefits become obvious in every day life - better postures, less aches and pains, ability to cope with bending, lifting, repetitive movements, plus an increase in all over body strength and flexibility that becomes an issue for all as we get older."

Jackie has also teamed up with a Dru Yoga Therapist, Jules Blythe to offer combined Modern Pilates and Dru Yoga Therapy classes. This is a new and unique combination that will heal body and mind:

Modern Pilates will provide a safe and clinical-based method of exercise that will strengthen the body, stretch the muscles and stabilise the joints and muscles. The aim is to work the body from the inside out, creating a stronger, flatter mid-section, improving posture, promoting muscle balance, realigning the spine and improving the function and appearance of the body, together with relieving stress and tension.

Dru Yoga Therapy will provide a therapy that cultivates the body/mind integration and a sense of harmony with life. This discipline promotes the innate healing resources in the body, helping to restore the proper functioning of various bodily systems. Dru Yoga Therapy can be used to alleviate a number of conditions, including stress and anxiety, IBS, digestive disorders, back pain, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, preconception and weight loss.
