pilates in cumbria
It all began in 1999 - frustrated by my lack of progress following a cycling
accident - I stumbled across a piece in a health periodical about Pilates. It
made complete sense. Pilates had found me. I chose to train with Michael King
and, alongside his partner Malcolm, I would travel to the City of London over a
two year period. Qualifying to teach both mat work Pilates and individual
tuition. My love and devotion to the Pilates method has never dimmed. A bit
about Michael: Michael was originally a dancer at the London School of
Contemporary Dance with the newly formed Pineapple Dance Studios, Convent Garden
London. Two years later he was offered a position in Texas managing the Pilates
studio at the Houston Ballet Company where he stayed until 1990. During this
time sponsored by the Houston Ballet, Michael traveled across the USA visiting
and training at studios. In New York, he studied with Corola Trier and with
Romana Kryzanowksa at the original Pilates Studio. Michael also worked in the
Voight Centre in Los Angeles for five years teaching fitness programs as as well
as at many other Pilates Studios including Winsor Pilates in Los Angeles. He
moved back to Europe in 1995, where following a two year contract in
Switzerland, he returned to London.
