MY STORY

​

​​​I am a Pilates teacher based in Stoke Newington, North East London, specialising in Classical Pilates as taught through the lineage of Romana Kryzanowska, a direct protégé of Joseph Pilates and the individual entrusted with preserving and teaching his work after his death. 

​

I am a Level V certified Classical Pilates teacher with Romana’s Pilates International, one of the most rigorous and respected classical Pilates training organisations worldwide. Romana's Pilates International certified teachers are among the most sought-after in the world. I completed my classical training at Kinetic Pilates in London, a highly respected classical studio known for its high standards of teaching, deep respect for lineage, and commitment to the integrity of the method. Romana Kryzanowska worked side by side with Joseph Pilates for decades and was instrumental in maintaining the authenticity of the Pilates system as it was originally designed. Romana’s Pilates International continues this lineage through an uncompromising approach to training, emphasizing precision, progression, and the complete classical repertoire. Certification through this programme reflects not only technical mastery across all apparatus, but also a deep understanding of how to adapt the work to each individual body.

​

In addition to my classical certification with Romana’s Pilates International, I also hold  a comprehensive certification with STOTT Pilates, including pre- and postnatal specialisation. STOTT Pilates training is grounded in biomechanics, functional movement, and detailed anatomical education.

​

My own journey with Pilates began through rehabilitation from a back injury. What started as a method to manage pain quickly revealed itself to be a powerful system for restoring alignment, strength, and balance throughout the entire body. Experiencing these changes first hand led me to pursue Pilates professionally and commit to teaching the method in its most authentic form.

​

I teach Pilates as a corrective and powerful transformative practice, supporting injury rehabilitation, postural realignment, efficient movement, and long-term strength.

​

I truly believe in the transformative power of authentic Pilates; and want to share the number of applications and benefits it can bring to people’s lives. Whether you are recovering from injury, looking to realign and improve your posture, wanting to support your every day activities or seeking a fitness challenge and enhance your performance, get in touch!
