Why are you a teacher/ trainer?

I fell into the profession in a way, as a former dancer I realise I have a lot of knowledge I waI became a Pilates teacher to be able to help people. Pilates can help you understand your body and move better to serve you better. Once I realised the full benefits of Pilates, I thought this is something everyone could benefit from. I have been practising Pilates since 2011 and qualified as a Mat Pilates instructor with Body Control Pilates. I believe that Pilates can help everyone feel better in their body, whatever their lifestyle.

What do you teach/specialise in?

Pilates

What do I love about exercise and fitness?

What I love most about keeping fit and exercising is the mental health benefit and the time you find for yourself. I think we all have busy lives and spend most of our time doing things and reacting to the external world - ring-fencing some time for yourself is vital for a happier life.

What is your favourite food?

I really do love all things to do with food - cooking, eating, and even the cleaning up! I’ve spent a lot of my life in the hospitality industry, so I even love selling food. But if I had to pick one cuisine, it would have to be Korean, staying true to my heritage.

What music will be on if you are in the Studio?

Really chilled-out and relaxing electro, jazz, and techno - no raves, I promise!
