This is the second in our 'Healthy Backs' series of short workouts. In this class, Annie continues by exploring the fundamentals of Pilates and two new starting positions - prone (lying on our fronts) and then four point kneeling (on our hands and knees). These exercises are specifically designed for clients who suffer from Low Back Pain and back problems.

Annie's personal experience of the benefits of Pilates inspired her to train as a Pilates teacher. Before becoming a Pilates teacher, Annie was a solicitor and spent more than ten years as a partner in a City law firm, combining working full time with a busy family life. Annie's "past life" means she understands the stresses of a busy life and the effect this can have on the mind and body. She found Pilates a wonderful stress reliever and great for her posture after a busy working day.

As a result of her own experiences, Annie knows how beneficial Pilates can be for office workers and she teaches workplace matwork classes in the City. Annie is a ‘Level 4 Low Back Pain’ specialist teacher qualifying through the Body Control Pilates Back4Good® programme and has a specialist interest in working with those with Low Back Pain.

Annie believes in teaching with positivity and encouragement and enjoys working with clients from all walks of life.
