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.
