I know through my own experience, that Pilates can be life changing and I want to share that knowledge and experience with everyone who walks through my door. I first discovered the benefits of Pilates following the birth of my second child. During my pregnancy I developed a condition called pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP), also known as symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). PPGP is a collection of painful symptoms caused by a misalignment of the pelvic joints at the front and back of your pelvis. At one point the pain was so severe it made it difficult to get around. Determined to regain my pre-pregnancy fitness, and to beat the pain, I turned to Pilates Now fully recovered, I firmly believe Pilates has been the key to feeling fitter and stronger than ever before. My athletic background is in competitive swimming, in my teens competing at national level. Still a keen swimmer, I now train for cardio fitness, entering the occasional masters competition for fun. In 2014, I decided to expand my knowledge beyond matwork to include the large pieces of Pilates studio apparatus. I chose STOTT PILATES Education for its high-calibre training, on-going support, thorough expertise and safe scientific approach. My personal intention is to successfully complete STOTT PILATES Full Certification across all teaching modalities including: Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Stability Chair and Barrels. In addition to the contemporary training outlined above, I’ve so far invested in 100 hours of training in the classical method under the tuition of Alexandra Bohlinger, Romana Certified Pilates Instructor.
