My story & Certifications
Founder of Pilates with Antonia
Influenced by the fluidity and freedom of movement, which is central to the Pilates Method, I found clear parallels between Classical Pilates and my background as a professional dancer. After graduating as a Dancer and Dance teacher I decided to enter the world of Pilates and further my education. My Pilates skills were honed by Martin and Heather Sampson of the prestigious Sampson Pilates where I specialised in rehabilitation, equipment and mat work.
My classes are playful and energetic, focusing on form, technique and following a well established structure that deviates slightly every week.
My Pilates philosophy is based on the six ruling principles of Pilates and highlights the importance of core strength, flexibility and awareness in order to promote spinal alignment and freedom of movement.
I welcome individuals of all levels of experience to classes as my approach lends itself to all levels of physical fitness.
