Teacher, Owner & Pilates Lover 

... Read a little about me:

Lovely to virtually meet you, Ashleigh here, personally typing and providing you with some information that you may be interested in

(that's me on the right hand-side of the screen).

 

I am the owner of Pilates Guru, which is a brand based within County Durham, with a physical studio location in Newton Aycliffe. Although, I do offer Online Pilates services too. 

I am a 'one-woman-band' ...I personally deliver Studio Group Classes, Private 1:2:1 Pilates, 'Pilates with Friends', Prenatal Pilates, Workshops and Online Sessions (LIVE & pre-recorded).

I absolutely LOVE Pilates for many reasons, and in each session that I deliver, I really do try to articulate the benefits and advantages that the method can provide (if you practice regularly).

Credentials

Movement [of the body] has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started training in dance from under the age of 3 and continued my technical development at De Montfort University (Leicester), where I studied Dance & Choreography.  It was within that time frame, in 2010, when I started practising Pilates.

Pilates totally made sense to me, and was complete logic. I began to apply the Pilates principles to how I danced, and also my life in general, from walking, at home and at the gym.

In 2016 I decided to enhance my education relating to the mind & body and began training as a Pilates Teacher, which has been my best decision yet!
