About
Hi, I'm Grace and I'm the owner of Grace Pilates Studio.
I started Pilates seriously 18 years ago after a back injury from Ballet.
My education in Pilates spans years and I have been lucky enough to train for over a year with the world's best. My teacher, Javier Velasquez, lived and trained with Romana and knows more about the authentic Pilates Method as taught by Joseph Pilates than anyone today. Romana, who took over Joseph Pilates studio when he died also trained my other teacher Holly Murray at Pi Studios. Unlike many modern Reformer studios where in house training can last two weeks, each Classical Pilates training is over 600 hours. There is no other teacher in the Bromley borough who has as much knowledge of the Method of Pilates (rather than fitness classes based around a Reformer) as myself.
I have previously completed two trainings in Classical and Contemporary Pilates with two of the country's best Training Providers. After all, if you are visiting a doctor you would expect them to have taken years of training. Likewise, I want to ensure you learn precisely, efficiently and safely when using the resistance of the various Pilates Equipment (that's right there is so much more than just the Reformer and the Mat even though these get the most press today). In Pilates the details matter!
At our Studio we use all of the original apparatus to powerfully and precisely change the body.
All of our apparatus ( by that I mean equipment) is Classical by Legacy in Turkey. I wanted to bring you the full experience; we have over ten beautiful handmade pieces of apparatus just like it would have been in Joseph's (Pilates) Studio in New York!
