Education + Certifications
Comprehensive Pilates training means hundreds of hours of anatomical study, supervised teaching, and examinations across every apparatus Joseph Pilates designed.
I hold two comprehensive certifications and am a Third Generation teacher through both Alan Herdman's and Alycea Ungaro's lineages.
My education began under the direct tutelage of Alan Herdman, the legendary authority who originally introduced Pilates to the United Kingdom. After studying in New York with teachers trained by Joseph Pilates himself, Herdman returned to London to establish Britain's very first Pilates studio in 1970.

To deepen my practice and focus fully on the original method, which I strongly believe delivers the most profound physical results, I completed the rigorous Real Pilates Teacher Training (RPTT) programme, founded by Alycea Ungaro, through Flex Studio in Singapore. During this intensive classical education, my mentor was Heather Thomas, widely regarded as one of Asia's leading classical Pilates educators.
