"Having always had a passion for health and fitness, having such an active job meant that this passion developed even further. I love the positive effects that dancing has on the body and I found that once I stopped dancing professionally I was eager to find something that gave me the same benefits and enjoyment. That's why I love Pilates & Barre - not only do they strengthen and tone the entire body but they also help to improve flexibility and overall well-being."
Alicia has enjoyed movement in various forms from a very early age & has practiced various dance styles from ballet, jazz and tap for over 30 years. Professionally teaching children the value of health and exercise for over 10 years.
Having always suffered with low level back pain Alicia came across Pilates which completely changed her life.
Alicia then decided to broaden her knowledge of Pilates by completing NVQ level 2 & 3 in Mat Pilates and then went on further to study High Intensity Pilates with Lisa Bradshaw. This class takes all the benefits of Pilates & adds a wonderful cardiovascular element.

“I have always had a passion for fitness and exercise, the combination of Barre & Pilates compliment each other & I can honestly say I have never felt stronger. For me it goes far beyond aesthetics, the mind body connection and feeling strong in my mind is so important. It has given me the ability to listen to my body and acknowledge when to modify exercises. Having that awareness of the body helps me in every aspect of my life.”
