A passion for movement
and physiology
Jo qualified with a BEd (Hons) in Physical Education in 1995 from Carnegie in Leeds and started teaching PE in a prestigious Secondary School in London specialising in Gymnastics and Dance. At the same time she developed a Personal Training business at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre.
In 2000 she stopped teaching PE to pursue her passion for Pilates and that year qualified with Body Control Pilates. Since then she has established a successful career maintaining her enthusiasm and devotion towards health and well-being.
Jo’s clients continue to benefit from her desire to stay at the leading edge in her field so she undertook a two year Hatha Yoga qualification with FRYOG in 2010 to compliment her passion for movement to help people of all ages to maintain their mental and physical well being.
Her passion for Pilates and its benefits shines through in all her teaching and her wider experience in choreography and movement means that she is able to provide a challenging, unique and varied approach every time.
“Fun, creative, never boring, technically sound, choreographically inventive and all while still promoting the core (ha!) method that is Pilates.
Pilates could be boring and actually too difficult for us mere mortals.
You make it accessible, without it being repetitive, and you treat everyone as capable of doing it, on some level, and we LAUGH!”
