Chrissie has been teaching Pilates for 8 years now. Currently trained to Body Control Level 3 for matwork and Pilates Foundation for all aspects of machine work (Reformer, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel and Wunda Chair) she sets the highest standards for herself as well as her students, taking every opportunity she can to add to her own knowledge and practise with in-service development for teachers who are already working. This together with a very people-centred personality keeps her teaching fresh and suitable for all from beginners to the advanced. If you are more advanced and enrol, don't be surprised if you meet students who have been with Chrissie for years!

Most recent CPD (since 2008) has included a series of workshop courses on Pilates for pre- and post-natal women. Another development in Pilates for special purposes is teaching tailored to the needs of women who have undergone reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy. Chrissie is in the process of setting up a class aimed specifically at this group.

It should be stressed that Pilates is suitable for men too and male participation has seen a steady rise as the benefits of Pilates become more widely recognized.

Chrissie's commitment to body awareness and health-related matters has very deep roots, grown and nurtured organically in parallel to a first career, infant school teaching over half a lifetime. Pilates is the culmination of a process which began in the early 70s, when she first became involved in dance and movement in the classroom.

Over the course of her school teaching career she obtained qualifications in the teaching of exercise to music, body conditioning and fitness testing (specialism: fitness for the over 50s), massage therapy and anatomy. She practised the Ashtanga and Iyengar methods of yoga, and - primarily as a response to the ordeal of cancer in the late 90s - studied Reiki, becoming a Reiki 'master' and teacher.

Only then did she feel ready for the challenge of - in particular the rigour and purity of the Body Control and Foundation methods, arguably the industry standards.
