Our Teachers
Kemi
Kemi first experienced the benefits of Pilates whilst rehabilitating an ongoing knee injury during her dance training at The Laban Centre of Dance and Movement. Her knee injury was rehabilitated successfully and she continued her profession as a dancer with a new found passion for Pilates. In 2004 Kemi completed the Pilates Foundation two year course with Anne-Marie Zulkahari and Hana Jones, founding members of the Pilates Foundation Uk. This intensive training course combined with Kemmi's own experience of rehabilitation gave her the knowledge and skills to work with a wide range of client's.
