Hannah was first introduced to Pilates during her contemporary dance training. It has been an essential tool for her to maintain a healthy, injury-free body whilst in training and throughout her professional career. She completed her Pilates Matwork teacher training with Brigid McCarthy, founder member of Pilates Foundation UK the Independent Pilates Teachers Association. Hannah has studied Remedial Pilates and has a interest in working with a variety of people and bodies.

Fluxs Lane

I was first drawn to the healing power of movement in 2008 during my undergraduate degree in Contemporary Dance. I studied therapeutic movement and its effect on emotion. I was lucky to have been invited to visit Kaagvere in Estonia, to volunteer at an institution described as a boarding reformatory school for girls. Many of the young people I encountered here had been exposed to past traumatic events in some cases severe life changing experiences and as a result many faced mental health challenges. It was very humbling to be witness to this short part of their healing journey during my stay in Estonia. I worked alongside a dance and movement therapist to lead daily movement, dance and breathwork as a way for these young people to express emotion, to forge safety amongst their peers and to ground themselves when triggered. I continued my professional training as a dancer for some years after graduating, but this experience stayed with me and very much influenced my journey to becoming a Yoga Teacher and later Yoga Therapist

London

Intelligent Yoga Teacher Training (IYTT) is unique amongst teacher training courses.  We offer an incisive, thoughtful and intelligent approach to yoga teacher training, driven by the most current scientific developments in anatomy and movement research. Delivered by an elite group of senior yoga teachers at the top of their field, IYTT offers a spacious, immersive modular structure which provides time and space for profound learning, integration and growth.  Each of the teaching team draws on decades of practical experience of yoga, including particularly the work of Vanda Scaravelli and somatic, embodied practices. Described by some as radical and provocative, this approach to practice demands a fundamental shift in our practice and teaching. > "The IYTT programme has radically liberated my movement practice and expanded > the way I hold space for others. The programme encourages deep attention to > the realities of our bodies - to better support our ability to find freedom > and facilitate our students to do the same. The course offers a sophisticated > approach to study, rooted in sensorial atunement, philosophical discourse and > the most up to date research in anatomy. It is a life changing experience, > highly relevant for its insights into Yoga’s past and in its commitment to > foster dynamic, curious teachers for the future." > > Ben Wright > Choreographer/Movement Artist/Teacher > Artistic Co-Director at Candoco Dance Company (2017-2020) > Lecturer in Dance Northern School of Contemporary Dance

The Weston School of Dance & Performing Arts

the weston school of dance & performing arts

Woodlands Park Road

The School aims to cater for everyone. Children are accepted from the age of three years, and we provide classes for all ages, including adults. Children can train in ballet, modern theatre dance, tap and (when they are a little older) jazz, musical theatre, commercial jazz and contemporary dance. Adults, too, can attend ballet and tap. The majority of our students want to dance for sheer pleasure, some will want to work towards examinations and others may want to make dancing their career. Whatever their aims we give them every encouragement to achieve them. Dancing should be fun! Our first priority is that students enjoy themselves, safely and under the eye of experienced teachers. But dancing also provides other benefits: exercise and an improvement in posture and co-ordination; development of confidence and social skills; musical and artistic appreciation; the cultivation of imagination, to mention a just a few. All of our teachers have been through Enhanced DBS checks. Most of our teachers are qualified with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) and those who are working towards their teaching qualifications are regularly monitored. All are enthusiastic and work hard to ensure that a high standard of teaching is maintained at all levels. The Weston is a business partnership which aims to provide a friendly and personal atmosphere for students and parents. However, as a client of any well run establishment, you can expect to be afforded a business-like and professional approach. A number of facilities are in place for your convenience.

We connect artists, neighbours and audiences through investigative, collaborative and creative activities at our studios and beyond.

Brigid McCarthy Pilates Studio

brigid mccarthy pilates studio

I trained at London Contemporary Dance School and, with the opening of Scotland's first Pilates Studio in 1990, worked through an apprenticeship in Pilates with Jane Paris, before setting up my own studio in 1998. Over the years, my study of the Pilates Method has grown and developed. While continuing my studies of Pilates, my exploration of movement has led me to study The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® which I have taught to Pre-Trainer level and Scaravelli inspired Yoga. I have also studied Cranio-Sacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute, have completed Levels 1 & 2 with the Bach Centre and completed a Diploma in Herbology at the Royal Botanics in Edinburgh in 2010. I set up a Teacher Training programme in 1998. This programme has developed over the years and now encompasses a comprehensive Matwork Programme, Equipment Training and a Post Graduate Workshop Programme. The entire training includes the pre-requisite amount of necessary anatomy and all the obvious repertoire information but maintains a large element of all my original training: that is, it favours practical experience, invention and a healthy attitude to enquiry!

Pilates in Cumbria

pilates in cumbria

It all began in 1999 - frustrated by my lack of progress following a cycling accident - I stumbled across a piece in a health periodical about Pilates. It made complete sense. Pilates had found me. I chose to train with Michael King and, alongside his partner Malcolm, I would travel to the City of London over a two year period. Qualifying to teach both mat work Pilates and individual tuition. My love and devotion to the Pilates method has never dimmed. A bit about Michael: Michael was originally a dancer at the London School of Contemporary Dance with the newly formed Pineapple Dance Studios, Convent Garden London. Two years later he was offered a position in Texas managing the Pilates studio at the Houston Ballet Company where he stayed until 1990. During this time sponsored by the Houston Ballet, Michael traveled across the USA visiting and training at studios. In New York, he studied with Corola Trier and with Romana Kryzanowksa at the original Pilates Studio. Michael also worked in the Voight Centre in Los Angeles for five years teaching fitness programs as as well as at many other Pilates Studios including Winsor Pilates in Los Angeles. He moved back to Europe in 1995, where following a two year contract in Switzerland, he returned to London.
