I was first introduced to Pilates in 1997 when I lived just outside London and it became my preferred way to relax, whilst getting back into shape following the birth of my two children. I was intrigued by the strength I gained in my abdominal muscles from relatively simple exercises. The exercises then came into their own after a back injury sustained whilst stacking shelves in a supermarket and I quickly regained mobility and agility so I could return to work.

 

I completed my instructor's training through a well-established and popular institution. My style of teaching is classical Pilates, with plenty of hands-on posture correction (under normal circumstances). I love what I am doing and so there is a relaxed atmosphere to my classes, and fun with small equipment. Each session will always end with a few minutes of calm relaxation, so you are ready to go back to your day-to-day activities fully refreshed.

 

I really encourage at least two sessions a week to gain the full effect of Pilates and I like to find ways of incorporating the exercises into day-to-day activities, such as walking and driving.

 

I look forward to welcoming you to the classes and to help you transform yourself into a long, lean and strong physique.
