About Us
Eileen Jackson
Teacher
I
started
teaching
after
attending
yoga
and
Pilates
classes
myself,
since
2003
and
2008,
and
discovering
the
mental
and
physical
benefits
of
both
exercise
disciplines.
In
September
2011,
I
enrolled
on
a
STOTT
PILATES
Intensive
Mat
Pilates
course,
and,
in
February
2012
took
the
Advanced
course,
passing
my
exams
for
both
in
September
of
that
year.
In
December
2012,
I
completed
the
British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Level 1 course.
I
found
my
love
of
exercise
at
the
age
of
eighteen,
when
I
started
doing
aerobics,
and
after
a
couple
of
years,
I
became
an
assistant
in
classes.
This
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
start
teaching
routines
and
standing
in
for
instructors
when
they
weren’t
available.
Since
then,
I
have
tried
most
disciplines
of
fitness,
including
weight
training/body
building,
swimming,
step,
body
combat,
running
and
boxercise,
to
name
but
a
few.I
started
yoga
in
2003,
and
attended
weekly
classes
for
three years, until a skiing accident interrupted my exercise regime.
After
surgery,
rehab
and
physio,
I
finally
got
back
into
training,
and
my
passion
for
yoga
returned
in
2007,
as
I
began practising again and improving my ability.
It was during this time I also heard about Pilates and started doing a class once a week.
I
began
to
lessen
the
amount
of
weight
training
I
was
doing
and
increased
my
yoga
and
Pilates
until
I
stopped
weight
training
completely.
I
found
I
was
becoming
stronger
and
my
body
was
looking
thinner
and
more
toned,
even though I didn’t actually lose weight.
I
love
being
able
to
help
people
feel
better
about
themselves
both
physically
and
mentally
through
teaching
the mind and body exercise of Pilates.
