My Teaching
My aim as Studio Master Instructor is to help people to move better, to reduce
aches and pains, to be happy with the way they look and to leave the class with a
smile. As Master Joe used to say "Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness."
I try to change my exercise routines during each session so as to keep up the
motivation. I encourage people to believe in themselves. Focusing on practising
and connecting their mind with their body, results will come and client progression
is my primary goal.
Correcting clients' alignment, improving core strength and breathing patterns (one
of the most important principles from Master Joe Pilates), building stamina and
overall strength, is what my sessions are designed to achieve.

Pilates
The real beauty of Pilates is that it is designed for anyone, no matter what age
you are. My client groups vary from young, fit and sports people who are looking to
improve their physical strength and stamina to elderly clients who need gentle
movement, flexibility work and help with posture. If you are recovering from injury I can help you with any exercises that your physio
might have given you.
We can go through your rehab programme together, especially if you are keen on
training in a fully equipped studio environment where you will be introduced to the
Reformer, the Cadillac, the Chair the Ladder Barrel and the Spine Corrector: The
Classical Apparatus was developed by Master Joseph Pilates during World War I.
He refined its design after the war and opened his first Pilates Studio in
New York in 1923. This apparatus revolutionised resistance training and gifted
teachers like myself with precious knowledge that can really help individuals, not
just by progressing safely but also challenging stability, adding resistance (without
necessarily loading and stressing joints) offering endless possibilities for
variations and teaching precision and correct movement techniques.
What you learn in a Pilates session will not only help you during that specific hour of training but
to be aware of how you move your body in your everyday life activities.

Shape your body
Pilates will help change your body shape by creating a long, leaner and stronger look. It will teach you how to move with ease and grace and, importantly, help cope with stress, by mastering breathing techniques. It will improve your posture and condition the deeper, supporting muscles of your body to improve coordination. You will never feel that your muscles are worked to exhaustion, so there is no straining, just intense concentration.

Ok, but... Where and How?
I am primarily based at the Hurlingham Club in Fulham and in a boutique studio called MyPilatesLondon in Upper Richmond Road,
where I mainly teach Studio equipment. I also provide Zoom online matwork sessions.
All online Pilates classes will be taught live, either 1:1's or 2:1's, 55
minutes in total. The session can either be for beginners or for more experienced
individuals, with dynamic flow, reps and classical matwork exercises and can be
with or without equipment (depending on clients' needs/tastes).
