About MeHello, I'm Jackie, and I have been teaching Pilates for over 15 years, in London, Nottinghamshire, and online.
I bring a lifetime of professional movement experience to my Pilates teaching having spent over 25 years working as an acrobat, aerialist, dancer, and circus arts teacher. I completed my teacher training in Mat Work and small equipment with the Pilates Foundation in 2009 and added Pilates Union Reformer Training in 2017. The most recent addition to my teaching qualifications is PureStretch which adds a new dimension to my classes. I am a member of CIMPSPA and EMDUK and uphold their high standards of CPD. I am constantly learning and developing my practice. The journey never ends! Keeping active becomes ever more vital for maintaining strength and flexibility to better cope with the physical issues of aging. Exercise is also important in maintaining mental health. My classes are small and welcoming with a friendly inclusive atmosphere. I believe that exercise should be fun! I enjoy working with all ages and abilities and have a special interest in teaching older adults and young sportspeople. I have worked with junior cricketers, cyclists, gymnasts, dancers, acrobats, and track & field athletes to deal with muscle recruitment problems, improve alignment and maximise movement efficiency for enhanced performance.
