Loving the DHP Pilates classes or thinking of attending one? We have the low-down on the energetic and dedicated instructor, Elly:

Elly has been in the fitness industry for 25 years, and has had numerous positions within the industry in that time. Elly has owned her own swim school, was a multiple group fitness instructor, became a personal trainer, an exercise presenter, and finally her main passion, a Pilates Instructor/Teacher. 

Elly completed her Anatomy and Physiology level 3 and Sports Massage Certificate so she could offer a wider range of services to her clients. In the years that she has been teaching Pilates at studios/clinics, Elly loves seeing people being able to move again or bend down/sit up straight again, because they had previously been in so much pain. Elly says the fact that you can learn to minimise or remove that pain with no drugs or medication is amazing to her. "You see having a strong core solves loads of problems, where a weak causes so many!" said Elly.

Elly says that Pilates is all about visualisations... you have to use your mind to strengthen your body! Initially Pilates may seem daunting but with practise you will become much better and stronger. The slow flowing movements of Pilates primarily strengthen your transverse (core) muscles that stabilise and support your spine, realign your body and correct postural problems. The eight principles of Pilates are: Concentration, breathing, centring, relaxation, quality of movement, flowing movement, body awareness, stamina.

Elly's main focus now is to work more with Health Professionals to spread the word of this amazing practise that can be taught to people, so they will never have bad backs again!
