Pilates
Hi, I’m a teacher, supporter, mother, professionally trained dancer, wellness enthusiast, entrepreneur, breast cancer survivor, and spiritual seeker.
“My personal journey with Pilates is a story of recovery and redemption.”
I trained as a ballet dancer and toured with English National Ballet. Fast forward 20 years of gruelling training, as well as pregnancy taking its toll … my back gave out and I was literally stopped in my tracks.
Hobbling into my first Pilates class, I felt broken with no faith whatsoever that one hour a week would restore me. Little did I know I was embarking on a whole new chapter, with a strengthened body, a focused mind and a sense of balance to life’s unexpected hurdles.
‘What started as a painful journey has transformed all areas of my life’
My world crashed again in 2018 when diagnosed with breast cancer, but I pulled through with a mental and physical strength that was down to the incredible Pilates method.
Taking such a mindful approach to exercise has helped me overcome some immensely difficult times, which is why I set up my business back in xxxx under the name of ‘Soul Central Pilates’.
‘Since starting Pilates, I’ve noticed a real change in my body shape and my posture. Pilates makes me more aware of the way I hold myself and gives me a general sense of being in charge of my body!’
