She is qualified to teach Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin Yoga, as well as pranayama.

What our customers have to say
I consulted Pippa regarding an old riding injury, causing lack of shoulder movement for months. I had received hospital treatment, being told I will always have some sensitivity, I resigned myself to coping and occasional ibuprofen. With Pippa I felt instant relief and gradual post-treatment my stiffness has eased.
Pippa has been amazing at sorting out various injuries for me over the years. Recently I've tried acupuncture and for someone with a fear of needles, she made me feel very relaxed and I've since had more treatments. Pippa is very knowledgeable, giving great advice and simple stretches/exercises to do at home. I highly recommend Fortitude Health and will be continuing to see them.
Both myself and my horse have had Bowen treatments with Pippa several times with really positive results. Pippa has a wealth of knowledge about horse's and has improved my horse's way of going, my position and it's impact on my riding and us as a combination. Pippa is also the loveliest person.
I highly recommend physio treatment from Pippa. I had been suffering from a shoulder injury and back pain for 8 months but could not get NHS physio treatment. I then went to see Pippa last October and treatment and exercises since then have sorted the problem out. I have since had back and calf issues which she has treated me for. Very professional and friendly service.
