Something about Mary

Formally trained in London and New York, Mary is the Creator and Technical Director of Pilates4life and is a much sought after Pilates Instructor. With more than 15 years experience in the fitness industry Mary blends excellent teaching skills with humour, creativity, motivation and education. She is recognized for her professionalism and open-minded approach and has presented at the British Wheel of Yoga London Festival.

Mary attended her first Pilates class 12 years ago, was instantly hooked and inspired to become a Pilates Instructor adding to her repertoire of skills. Through her own practice of the method Mary has become dramatically stronger and alleviated a back issue caused by a fall during pregnancy 21 years ago.

Mary’s philosophy is “Pilates is 4 life” both everyday life and for our lifetime.

We rarely give any thought to the way we move UNTIL we begin to develop aches and pains. At that point we want an instant fix. However we may have spent years establishing poor movement patterns creating the ache!

Mary believes education is the key and the Pilates Method is the way forward. It is a journey, initially of discovery, followed by education – how we treat the “cause” not the “pain”.

The Pilates Method creates a balanced, strong individual who moves with grace and ease.

 

“If your spine is stiff at thirty you are old.

If your spine is flexible at sixty you are young.”

Joseph Pilates
