Orla Hennessy

Orla began her Pilates journey following a back injury in her early twenties which was intensified by a 10 year career in Marketing and being glued to a desk! Following practicing Pilates both mat and reformer for six years in addition to rehabilitation it became a break from the corporate world to allow a mind space, a focus and an energy to take life on with a new vigour.

Orla believes that Pilates is both an exercise for the body and mind. Through concentration, dedication and understanding – anything can be achieved. Orla’s classes are a break from the daily pressures of life. She is passionate about helping people improve posture strength and understanding of their own bodies.

Orla is a qualified Body Harmonics Matt teacher soon to train in reformer. Her favourite Joseph Pilates Quote is ‘The mind, when housed within a healthful body, possesses a glorious sense of power.’
