Hi, I'm Angela, a dedicated student & teacher of the Traditional Pilates Method. I became a Pilates mat instructor in 2006 to compliment my Fitness Professional training. Little did I know at the time a decade later, with a stiff and injured body through my sports, that I would delve deeper into the Pilates method & train as a Comprehensive Pilates teacher. In 2017 I trained over a 3 year period with Don Mcpherson at Classical Pilates UK in Scotland & completed my apprentice hours with Rebecca Leary at Pembrokeshire Pilates in Wales. Don & Rebecca are two of the few UK teachers certified by the New York Pilates Studio- the first & most traditional training program for Pilates teachers in the world written by Romana Kryzanowska & Sean Gallagher- Sean is the current owner of the original Pilates business. It was important to me to get as close as possible to the original source of the Pilates Method because I value the benefits associated with Authentic Pilates & simply doing things properly. 

 

During 2020, I was able to connect with Sean & his business partner Elaine Ewing & take lessons, classes & workshops to further my development. This progressed into my attendance at the Pilates at the Pillow conference in Massachusetts, USA in the Spring of 2022, where I was able to practice the work of Joesph Pilates & visit his home studio property in Becket now owned by Sean. I got to take workshops at Jacobs Pillow where Joseph Pilates taught his mat classes, & I undertook training in the original 34 in 34 Pilates Mat work where I earned my certification in the mat work. I am the first teacher in the UK to be awarded this certification by the Pilates Source. I am furthering my career currently by undertaking the same training as my UK teacher's - the New York Pilates Studio Teacher Training Program as a bridging student (as I'm qualified in the UK). This will bring further quality dedicated Traditional Pilates to the heart of Wales.
