About

I'm Tara, a fully certified STOTT PILATES instructor and founder of Uplift, a bespoke Pilates studio in Shiplake. After 20 years of teaching Pilates in London, the Caribbean, and Singapore, I've returned to the UK to offer one-to-one and duet sessions tailored to individual needs across the full range of Pilates equipment. I work with you to navigate pain, build strength and stability, and improve mobility and body awareness, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to move more effectively in daily life. My approach is grounded in the complete Pilates system as Joseph Pilates intended: combining work on the reformer, tower, stability chair, Cadillac, ladder barrel, and mat, each piece of equipment serving a specific purpose. I bring particular expertise in scoliosis, post-injury and post-surgery rehabilitation, women's health through pre and post natal phases to peri-menopause, bone health, active ageing, and athletic conditioning. Every body is unique, and I've had the privilege of working with clients ranging from age 18 to 87, from national athletes to new parents to those managing chronic conditions. The studio itself is quiet and peaceful, offering a welcome escape from group settings, with undivided attention and hands-on technical refinement as you work at your own pace and preferred time. I'm committed to continuing education to stay current with developments in Pilates and wider wellbeing practice, ensuring everything I teach aligns with current medical and science-based protocols.
