About Úna Brady Pilates
My story
My Pilates journey started when traditional medicine and treatments failed to relieve debilitating lower back pain from Spondylolisthesis & years of wear and tear as a result of running, high jumping, mountain biking and a variety of sports as a child. I discovered Pilates and was immediately hooked.
After five years of being a student, I decided to do what I love, and began to train as an instructor. Initially training in and teaching all levels of mat work. I have been teaching for many years and love to share the benefits of Pilates with my clients.

What people say…
Una introduced me to Pilates and to this day there is no one that can compare to her level of teaching or passion. Her incredible knowledge and her amazing sense of fun make Pilates so engaging. Unfortunately she moved out of Dublin a few years back and is finding it more difficult to commute to Dublin from Athlone. I still wish I could learn from her everyday!

I suffered Diastasis Recti ( separation of Tummy muscles) after the birth of my little boy. It is very common but unfortunately we are not warned enough about it and how important it is to rectify this problem before getting into normal exercises, sit ups etc. I had very little knowledge about DR until a friend introduced me to Post Pregnancy Pilates with Una. She explained thoroughly about this problem and why it occurs in some women. After a few 121 sessions with her, I joined her post natal class which I really enjoyed and recommend to anybody who suffers from DR.

I was apprehensive about starting Pilates because I didn’t know what to expect. However, I needn’t have worried because Una put me at ease and took me through the initial exercises with lots of care and attention. I had previously attended a class in a gym but nobody seemed to care if you doing the exercise correct or not. She took the time to answer all my questions so I left feeling really confident and excited about my next session.
