Forest View Pilates
My interest started in the Alexander Technique as a horse rider in 1981. I needed to improve my riding but found it difficult to know how. The Technique taught me how to change the way I used my body not only whilst riding but in my everyday life. I was so impressed with the results that I decided to train to become a teacher. Completing the three year full time training approved by STAT in 1992. I have now been teaching for over 16 years to people from all walks of life.
When I discovered Pilates, I found a body conditioning method that I thoroughly enjoyed and complemented the Alexander Technique perfectly. It appealed to me that the exercises are performed in a precise, controlled way with emphasis on postural alignment. I trained with the Body Control Pilates Association in London, in mat work and reformer (Pilates Machine). I have been teaching Pilates for over 8 years and recently started the studio here in the beautiful New Forest.
I also teach Pilates for members of Chewton Glen Hotel.
ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE
This is a subtle and thoughtful discipline, but essentially The Alexander Technique works through re-establishing the natural relationship between the head, the neck and the back - the "core" of the body that supports the strength of the limbs and which provides the structural environment for breathing and for the internal organs.
