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 very keen dancing Ballroom & Latin American) so I was unnerved to find I had lost my co-ordination and balance. It felt like my body did not belong to me and I lost my confidence. Pilates helped me find my equilibrium again and a whole lot more besides. At 41 years of age Pilates gave me the tools so I was not afraid to move. It is an exercise regime that has given me a more 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 helped improved my physicality & mindfulness, which has crossed over to other aspects of my life so that I have noticed an improvement in my dancing techniques and cycling & swimming capabilities.
