Stephanie Bates

I was introduced to Pilates when training at The London Contemporary Dance School. During my three years as a student I found that Pilates helped me to understand my body and its needs throughout the demanding timetable.

My love for the body and movement grew and after Graduating I trained with the Pilates Foundation at The Place in London. During my teaching years I have worked within the dance education system teaching on BTEC and Dance A Level courses.

Through my dance training I discovered Gyrotonic and became fascinated by the movement system. I went on to train in Germany with Juliu Horvath the founder of Gyrotonic and worked very closely with Laurie Booth in Brighton. As a teacher of movement I like to use my knowledge of Pilates Gyrotonic and dance to create flow and ease of movement within my class.
