Fantastic experience: Ros is a brilliant teacher! I have been attending classes for several years in Marino & I look forward to it every week. The classes are both calming but also very challenging. You can always move at your own pace & she offers plenty of variations to make the practice easier or more difficult depending on your level.

Fantastic experience: Roz at Real bodies Pilates is an excellent Pilates Instructor in my opinion and experience. I took early retirement from my job in 2020 and took up hiking, running, walking, sea swimming and indulged more in my Spanish. However I discovered that hiking and running actually reduce your flexibility and mine had never been brilliant to begin with. Also I had experienced lower back pain at various intervals during my life and also some knee trouble after running and Salsa dancing. What I hadn’t realised was the problem originated from a weak core. So I signed up for Pilates classes with Roz and I have to say they are brilliant. Roz runs a disciplined, structured class without being overly serious. She explains in detail how to do each exercise and watches each person to see that they are doing them correctly. She has an awareness simply by observation if a person is carrying an injury or a weakness in a particular part of their body. She will then advise that person of an easier way to perform the exercise in question. Conversely if by observation she judges that you may be capable of more effort she will again advise the individual of a more strenuous and ultimately more beneficial way of performing the exercise. I am in the beginners class and I don’t find it easy but it so worthwhile for body and mind. My core is now growing stronger and I just feel better all over after only 9 weeks of classes. Roz is patient, kind, encouraging, very knowledgeable and cognisant of the individuals needs. What more could you ask for from an instructor. Best Regards Peter O’ Reilly
Fantastic experience: Ros is the queen of keeping it fresh. Every class is different and her knowledge of the fundamental principles is second to non. Modifications and progressions for every exercise so there really is something for everyone. I highly recommend her classes. Update: Have just completed a course in yoga nidra with Ros. If you haven’t done yoga before this is a great place to start. The poses are easy and the transitions are not too demanding. The guided meditation for the second half of the class was a complete game changer to my night’s sleep. If the rat race is taking its toll on you, definitely consider yoga nidra with Ros. We were also provided with weekly handouts to assist with doing this practice at home. Thank you Ros, I really benefited from this course.
Fantastic experience: I've been attending pilates classes in Rathfarnham for postnatal strengthening and I love it. I've been feeling the benefits since my first class and getting stronger every week. Ros is so knowledgeable and encouraging. Her classes cater for all levels.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy these classes and have returned to them after many years absence. Ros starts right back at the beginning to ensure every move is done correctly but you still get an amazing work out. The added bonus is you feel great after them.
Fantastic experience: Ros is a great teacher, very calm, clear explanation and always in good form.I have been attending her classes for about 10 years and she is consistently excellent.I would recommend her highly.
Fantastic experience: I've been attending pilates classes with Ros at various level over quite a few years. They have consistantly been excellent with great variety as she focuses on different areas from week to week. I am one of her older participants and have never come away from a session regretting that I came. Here's to many more terms and years!
Fantastic experience: Great class and a great instructor. Breaks down all the complicated movements to make them accessible to everyone. A good hard workout also!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing Pilates with Ros for 9 years non stop. Ros was initially recommended by my physio after breaking my leg and I’ve never missed a term since. Every class is different with Ros, variety keeps you engaged while you work the whole body for 1 hour.
Fantastic experience: Excellent classes. Ros is a fantastic teacher. Very much enjoy her Pilates classes. ♀️
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Real Bodies Pilates for years and really enjoy it. Ros is an excellent instructor and always gives us options for several levels within an exercise so no matter how your feeling on any particular day you'll find a level to suit you. Pilates has really helped my flexibility, espicially as I age, as well as my overall wellbeing. I'd recommend Real Bodies Pilates to anyone wanting to keep flexible and fit.
Fantastic experience: I was lucky a friend recommended Realbodies pilates to me last year. Ros is the best pilates instructor I have had. Her knowledge and understanding of the human body is amazing and she thoroughly explains how to do each exercise and when and how to control your breathing. She teaches different levels in both pilates and yoga, but I love that she modifies the exercises so they suit the individual during the class. I cannot recommend Ros highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Excellent classes, I always feel the benefits after a pilates class with Ros.
Fantastic experience: Excellent pilates classes, clear instruction and the pace is spot on. The classes greatly compliment the other sports and activities I do. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Tough workouts that are great for core strength, posture and flexibility. Ros is an amazing instructor and I cannot recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Ros is a fantastic pilates and yoga teacher. I have attended her classes in both Drumcondra and Rathfarnham and have always enjoyed them. Highly recommend Ros and her classes!
Fantastic experience: I've been attending Ros's classes for years now, and I've never kept up with anything else! There's no pressure in class, everything can be done at your own pace and I really appreciate that. The room in the new location is really nice and bright, plenty of space to swing those limbs!
Fantastic experience: Great class, very personalised and carefully put together, always glad I've turned up, no matter how tired I am before it, thanks Ros
Fantastic experience: I really ernjoy my weekly class with Ros. I feel stronger and more flexible after only a few weeks and I like the intensity and pace of the class. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Pilates classes with Ros on and off for the past eight years. I have been to other yoga and pilate teachers but the classes have never been as helpful as a class with Ros. Her knowledge of the human body and movement is endless -I always leave a class with a new insight that I may not have thought of before. Ros caters for all abilities whether advanced, beginner, recovering from an injury or medical illness. She allows the student to practice at the pace they require and always advises modifications so that you can build strength gradually but safely, In saying that, I always felt encouraged by Ros to push my body so that I get the best work for me each time. She brings a lovely atmosphere to each session which I look forward to attending each week. Thanks Ros!
Fantastic experience: As an older “fun runner” physio recommended Pilates for core strength, improved flexibility and injury prevention. Was so lucky to find Ros and Real Bodies Pilates which has made such a positive difference to my overall well being. Was worried as an absolute beginner that it would not work for me, but Ros is a great instructor with classes tailored at different levels to suit everyone.
Fantastic experience: I have been taking classes held by Ros for about 8 years now. I was recommended taking up Pilates by a golf instructor to help with lower back stiffness & pain after playing. To say it helps is a understatement, not only with back aches, but an all round good feeling after the class. I cannot compare Ros’s classes/teachings to anywhere else as it has never crossed mind to change instructors, this speaks volumes in my opinion of how the classes are conducted. Her professionalism and passion for Pilates is the same today as my first class all those years ago. ( actually jealous I’m not that enthusiastic about my job!!!) Ros articulates all instruction clearly & easy to follow. She fully participates in the class but is always watching her students to make sure they are in correct posture. If your are considering starting, don’t hesitate you won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: A great class weekly with a relaxed and supportive group. Ros is a great teacher and it's the highlight of my week going to her Pillates class!
Fantastic experience: Pilates or yoga with Ros are amazing. She is very professional, I can't describe with words how good she is, you just need to try by yourself!!!
Fantastic experience: Great classes. Challenging at all levels. Well explained and varied classes. Ros is great. And the physical and mental benefits are super.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic classes Ros is a super teacher and a walking advertisement for the benefit of yoga & pilates. Accessible to all level from complete beginner to advanced.
Fantastic experience: Ros is a superb teacher who promotes a sense of ability among all students in her class. Ros always has a modification ready to make the exercise suit the individual. Ros's clear use of ques enables a more effective and beneficial practice. Ros continues to add new exercises to keep it interesting and also ensure that your body is always working on improving its core strength and tone. I have been a student of Ros for 15 years and feel younger and fitter than I did 15 years ago, which I have no doubt is a result of Ros's motivation and support to build a better posture and stronger body! Thank you Ros.
Thanks Tara for your feedback. One of the strongest and most dedicated Participants!
Fantastic experience: I have loved Ros’s Pilates classes since the world went mad in March 2020. It was really good to have something live & not recorded to attend weekly, it has even started to fell relatively normal. Ros has really kept the group together by doing all the exercises with us, as always . Thanks Ros
Ah thanks Barbara. Thanks for showing up and putting all your effort in to the classes.
Fantastic experience: Real Body Pilates has been great , it has improved my flexibility & increased muscle tone & general feeling of wellbeing & Ros is excellent.would highly recommend it. Mary
Fantastic experience: Pilates with Ros is an absolutely brilliant experience. She is a total professional with a vast amount of experience and is able to break down even the most most difficult moves into very manageable steps. No matter what your ability level is, she always ensures you are suitably challenged so you never feel either bored or incompetent. Classes simply flow along and you feel every part of your body being properly exercised. It helps that she has an extremely hypnotic voice so all the instructions and explanations are pleasant and easy to listen to! My favourite part of course will always be the final relaxation section which immediately precedes a great night's sleep. Real Bodies Pilates with Ros is just fantastic and I am so grateful to be able to enjoy it.
Thank you for all your feedback.. You’ve built up a fabulous practice now. Well done for showing up and doing the work..
Fantastic experience: Love Real Bodies Pilates classes both online and in person. Ros is a brilliant instructor. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great teacher both in class and through zoom. Can feel the results both physically and mentally after. Highly recommend Ros's classes.
Thanks Louise... Another dedicated lady...
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Realbodies Pilates highly enough. I've been attending classes with Ros for years. She's an excellent teacher, gives clear and precise guidance and provides well rounded classes that strengthen, condition and tone my body. Her passion for what she does is obvious to see and she always keeps her classes interesting. As I said, I've been attending her classes for years and I'll be attending for years to come.
