About

christine-balance-pilatesChristine began studying the Pilates method in the year 2000 under the direction of Ellie Herman in San Francisco and was certified in 2005 after completing an 800 hour comprehensive teacher training programme.

Christine continues to study Pilates from as many leading teachers as possible.She has been especially influenced by workshops or private study with Nancy Meyers, Sharon Gallagher – Rivera, Bob Liekens, Jillian Hessel, Siri Dharma Galliano, Brent Anderson and many other wonderful teachers.

Whilst completing her teacher training with Ellie she had the opportunity to study extensively with Lizz Roman, an amazingly talented Pilates rehab trainer who introduced her to the work of Vladimir Janda. Learning rehabilitation techniques based on the principles of Janda and developing an eye for postural screening and assessment and for seeing the subtleties of movement is one of the most valuable skills she’s learnt and is something she brings to each class.

Christine’s popular classes promote a non- competitive atmosphere while challenging the student to reach their fullest potential. Pilates can be quite challenging but should be fun too!
