About Clare Axon-Saunders

In the Log Cabin belongs to Clare Axon-Saunders and all the classes are taken by her.  Clare began taking Pilates classes in the hope that it would improve her horse riding (it did!), she quickly started to see and feel the benefits of regular Pilates exercise and attended classes as often as she could.  Eventually she embarked on a year long apprenticeship with renowned Pilates and Yoga Instructor Liz Kaloczi.  During this time she attended daily Pilates sessions where she participated, observed and assisted with the classes.  Since finishing her apprenticeship she continued to teach at other studios, gaining precious experience from other teachers and clients.  Clare is now an experienced and intuitive teacher and is passionate about helping her clients achieve their goals.
