Shine At The Hollies

I really enjoy Tabithas pilates classes. She changes routines regularly so that I'm always challenged. Everyone and Tabitha is very welcoming and friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I walked into the shine studio nearly 2 years ago hardly knowing anything about yoga, I felt i needed to do something to help my aching body after many years doing carpentry and joinery. I was told yoga was good for you, I took some convincing but have never looked back! The Shine studio and all the teachers have been very welcoming. It's always a friendly atmosphere and we have fun. I now look forward to it every week as yoga has helped me tremendously! Thank you all at Shine.

I have been going to Shine mat Pilates regularly for the last 18 months and it is so good for my mind and body. The instruction is precise, and I've seen amazing changes in my strength and posture. The classes are taught at the Hollies, which has been recently refurbished to provide the most beautiful and relaxed setting. But the real bonus is the community aspect. The classes are full of people all different ages, you never feel judged, instead everyone motivates each other. It’s a warm, inclusive environment that makes you look forward to exercising.

I have never tried reformer pilates, but I absolutely loved the first class and was quickly put at ease even though i was very nervous! Nothing felt like too much trouble and I really loved how it felt tailored to my skill level. It was a small class, which I preferred as it felt like less pressure. Thank you Jane for the class and to shine for being a beautiful, welcoming space xx

Shine at the Hollies, Yoga and Pilates could not be any more perfect for me. I’ve tried Reformer Pilates, Floor Pilates and a few of the different yoga classes that are available. These classes have been with a variety of the instructors who teach at the studio. Everyone is really friendly, good at teaching, and really care about everyone in the space. I initially started going to get help with some stress that I was experiencing, but now it’s part of my schedule every week, and has been for quite a while now. I can’t imagine life without yoga or Pilates in this space in the heart of Belper. It feels great and my body feels the benefit.

Shine is stylish, modern and has a welcoming nature of the space. The community are friendly and enjoyable to be around. I have done both yoga and Pilates with Graham and Lauren. Both are highly professional with a huge amount of experience between them whilst providing different styles to their delivery. I would highly recommend the different types of classes as they are pitched at the beginner through to the experienced and dedicated!

I have been going to Shine at the Hollies, Yoga for a year now - I suffer with fibromyalgia and am in regular pain. Tabitha has been amazing and supportive of my needs during my Yoga practice and I feel part of lovely group of fellow Yogi’s. I highly recommend joining a class or two you won’t be disappointed.

Reformer Pilates at Shine at The Hollies- A fantastic Team who are very friendly and supportive , small class sizes ensure you are helped to achieve your best from each session, highly recommended.

My wife and I enjoy weekly sessions at Shine at The Hollies with the teachers help us stretch and keep mobile and moving better. The hourly Yoga is always different every week.

Fab yoga classes....The teachers are great and there is a lovely atmosphere in the classes. Classes at Shine have definitely helped strengthen my core and back , helped with my posture and I always feel a lot more relaxed and positive after the classes. Would highly recommend Shine at The Hollies

I thoroughly enjoy every pilates class I attend at Shine. My chiropractor recommended I start pilates following a back injury and I found Shine, through a recommendation from a friend. 3 years on and I feel stronger, more supple and healed. I feel welcomed to each class and everyone is so friendly, it's a really lovely environment and with a few laughs along the way. I would definitely recommend Shine at The Hollies and wouldn't look to go anywhere else.

Shine is a refuge of light in the bustle of daily life. It offers warmth and comfort, and a chance to experience life at a different pace.

After a busy day at work, attending a Shine yoga sessionsis everything I need to switch off, be zen and come back home in a better frame of balanced mind. Tabitha welcomes everyone to her classes and will easily adapt the session to new attendees or those new to yoga. Recommend the friendly atmosphere to all

Although I'm a complete beginner (3 classes so far) I've been made to feel so welcome. The results after just these few classes are unbelievable. If you're looking at doing something for yourself and improving your poor aching body (like me), I cannot recommend Shine at The Hollies enough. 5* plus!

I have been attending Tabitha’s Pilates classes for seven years, and I can honestly say they are one of the first things I put in my diary when planning my week! Tabitha’s classes are always fun, varied and thoughtfully planned, with exercises differentiated to suit different abilities and challenges. She has a fantastic way of being both encouraging and challenging, helping you to get the most out of every session without ever feeling overwhelmed. What really stands out is that no two lessons are ever the same. Tabitha clearly puts a huge amount of thought and meticulous planning into every class, which keeps the sessions interesting, engaging and something I genuinely look forward to every week. Seven years on, I still wouldn’t want to miss a class — Tabitha is an exceptional Pilates teacher, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for classes that are enjoyable, varied and challenging in all the right ways.

Backpain: Seated in my aircraft cockpit for more than an hour, there would be consequences. The price to pay would be a lower back pain when I walked across the apron. This debilitating back pain would continue to torment me for days.. A doctor friend recommended I should try some gentle Pilates or yoga under the guidance of a qualified teacher. "Stretching and relaxing the body was what my body needed" he said. I followed his advice and contacted Tabitha Yoga. A conversation with Tabitha eventually led to a my first special class and a gentle introduction to yoga. Within a few weeks the back pain problem disappeared. Wow! Furthermore it’s worth noting that some months later holiday commitments meant I missed three consecutive yoga classes. The back pain returned, but happily as soon as I restarted Tabitha’s weekly stretching classes the problem melted away. A salutary lesson.. Make yoga part of a sustained routine. So there we are, that’s why I have remained a faithful foundation yoga student for a few years now. It really works for me. Great teachers, great classmates, good fun. A firm date in the diary.

In truth, on the rare occasions I’d tried Pilates in the past, I’d never really enjoyed it as a form of exercise. Since moving to Belper earlier this year, Shine’s mat Pilates classes have completely changed my mind. Tabitha’s classes are friendly, fun and effective, and have become a great way to start my day twice a week. I’ve also appreciated sports massage and cupping treatments with Lauren, which have been both relaxing and helpful
