Classes
POSTNATAL PILATES & RUNNING MUMMIES - Ellie Brown
Ellie's postnatal pilates classes are excellent. Classes are held in a studio at her home in Greenwich. Even the most fractious babies seem to calm under her influence. She has an easy and relaxed teaching style but without compromising the quality of instruction. For the more energetic, she also runs weekly exercise classes in Greenwich Park.
