Instructor profile

Ali comes from a teaching and health background and has worked over the years to promote healthy living.  She has a degree in teaching and a Masters degree in health education and health promotion.

 

 

Ali has always taken a keen interest in health and exercise.  She qualified in 1993 as an ‘Exercise to Music’ teacher and has participated in many different forms of exercise.  Her interest in Pilates began in 2001 following a referral by her physio after experiencing lower back problems.  Ali instantly benefited from the exercises and over the next few years developed a deeper understanding of the Pilates technique, crediting Pilates with ‘putting her body back together’ after a number of health issues.  This led to her decision to train as a matwork teacher through the Pilates Foundation.  

 

 

Ali works to very high standards and takes the individual needs of her clients to heart.  She considers the entire body, rather than merely targeting problem areas, focussing with her clients on the process, to achieve real and lasting results.  She runs classes and sees individuals on a one to one or semi-private basis.

 

 

Ali says, “I know what Pilates can do and I enjoy helping others receive that benefit. I work hard to help clients develop their true potential, encouraging them to take what they learn and apply it to their every day lives”
