Christine first came to Pilates to help manage joint hypermobility, poor co-ordination and body idiosyncrasies.  She’s been teaching since 2012 and is passionate about sharing holistic movement and wellness.  Her education ranges from the biosciences to Pilates and yoga. Christine has experience in martial arts, somatics and nutrition, and is also a non-specific lower back pain specialist and meditation teacher.

Christine’s classes are a mix of diligent discipline, strength, fun and nurturing.  She likes to create sessions that move more than just muscles.  Some parts of her sessions have clients on their feet, to ensure that they reap the functional benefits from their other exercises.

Christine is interested in making Pilates accessible for everyone, especially people who are on the hypermobile spectrum, have spine and hip/leg pathologies, or neurodivergence. Client-centred, trauma informed practices and the notion that ‘a person is more than what we can see’ are at the heart of how Christine relates to her clients.

Abigail is a professional dancer and Pilates instructor. She first encountered Pilates as a form of Individual Personal Development during her Degree at London Studio Centre. Abigail has carried on using Pilates as a training technique alongside her dancing and has since become qualified to teach.

Abigail loves detail, and her classes are often multi-layered to be able to incorporate the details of the technique into the fundamentals of Pilates, before taking optional progressions for anyone who needs or would like more challenge. She takes the Pilates principle of Precision quite seriously in order to help participants be in control of their bodies, to be more able to draw in the other principles of Pilates into their practice. Abigail has a lot of experience in teaching a range of ages and body types and welcomes all to train with her.
