Welcome to Roger and Caroline
Dragonfly Clinic, built by Roger and Caroline Horlock, long-term residents of the area, is located at the bottom of the West Hill. You can find this bright and beautiful studio at 1 Queen Square near the Clock Tower.
Dragonfly Clinic has been providing expert knowledge in rehabilitation and sports massage, running a popular sports injury practice for many years in Brighton. Add to that over 7 years’ experience in teaching Pilates in Brighton and London, the quality of the teaching is very high. The classes are small with a maximum of 6 people so there is no overcrowding in the studio and everyone gets plenty of time to work with, and learn from, their teacher. Courses run throughout the year with regular workshops at weekends and holidays. There is something for everyone whether you’re a lady of leisure and looking for a new interest with a beginners Pilates class or an athlete looking to enhance your training, with courses for runners, cyclists and swimmers.
