ABOUT ME

In 2006, I had an operation on my Lumbar Spine. I was told to take up Pilates with a Body Control Pilates Teacher. I have always been sporty (Tennis, Cycling, walking my dogs, Swimming, and a very keen Ballroom & Latin American dancer) I was upset to find I had lost my co-ordination and balance. I felt my body did not belong to me and I lost my confidence but with Pilates, this has been restored and a whole lot more besides. At 41 years of age Pilates gave me my life-affirming experience! I now had an exercise regime that gives me a more emotional & rewarding life.

Since Pilates was having such a positive effect on my life, when I was made redundant in 2013, I took the decision to train with Body Control Pilates at their Bloomsbury Studio in London. Pilates has enhanced my body physically & emotional mindset. Overall, this mindfulness has crossed over to other aspects of my life. I have noticed a marked improvement in my dancing techniques and my capabilities in cycling and swimming.
