PILATES TEACHERS
Amanda Harrington
I was first made aware of the benefits of Pilates by a surgeon who following knee surgery recommended that I improved my posture and core strength and dealt with the muscle imbalances to prevent further injury when running. Following a serious car accident, and with many months of painful physiotherapy, I was yet again encouraged to try Pilates.
After several months of gentle and progressive sessions at The Santosha Studio, I began to feel the benefits every day, finding Pilates a great stress reliever. In 2008, took the momentous decision to re-train as a Pilates Teacher.
I completed the initial Fundamentals training with Future Fit Training and have since completed Intermediate and Advanced training courses and Postural Correction and Assesment with Intelligent Fitness. Registered on REP'S, Register of Exercise Professionals.
Esmee Samara
Esmee Samara's passion for teaching Pilates grew out of her own experience when she discovered its benefits 11 years ago. Esmee initally trained as a fitness to music instructor then shortly after gaining a distinction in this discipline continued to gain her qualification as a Pilates instructor.
In addition to her teaching qualifications Esmee has a wider range of interests, which are fuelled by her love for life, and the desire to continually seek self improvement and support others to do the same. Esmee also holds a certificate as a Life coach and at present is studying to become a certified NLP master trainer.
Esmee's belief is simple; 'What the mind can conceive, the will can achieve"
