JUSTYNA
Originally from Poland, I first came to the UK to study 9 years ago, and quickly fell in love with Wales (and Pilates!). I have tried many classes in Cardiff desperately trying to improve my posture and gain awareness of my own body. One memorable day my friend dragged me to a pilates class in a friendly, little studio in Splott. After having a class with Helen Saunders, and then with Eric Butler, I knew Pilates is for me! Shortly after, I started my teacher training. And when Helen and Eric moved to France to start their new project 'The Field' (in short: old, French farm, pilates, dance, vegan food, etc,) I took over the studio. I always build my classes around the original principles described by Joseph Pilates: Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breath, and Flow. Adding and modifying according to individual needs. I am a PMA certified instructor, and about to start new, exciting chapter of my training. |

SASHA
Originally from Sydney Australia, I came to London in 1994 to continue my dance training and graduated from Brunel University, Rambert School and became a qualified Pilates teacher, gaining a distinction from the Pilates Foundation in 1999. Having studied The Pilates Method for several years and after successfully rehabilitating a dance injury through Pilates, I decided to train to teach. I brought to my training an understanding of movement through different dance disciplines. I have a reputation of precision and accuracy in refinement of movement for professional dancers, athletes and rehabilitating clientele. I am known for being tenacious and enthusiastic with my clients’ development.
I promote self-accountability in health and fitness and I never tire of the awareness and excellence a Pilates studio brings the individual. After running the Pilates Foundation Workshop Committee I was invited to sit on the Pilates Foundation Board from 2009-2011. I am currently a member of their exam committee and a full Pilates Foundation Examiner.
I work to endorse and support the organisations’ aim to uphold the highest standards of teaching and teacher training in the Pilates Method in the UK, this year launching the first Pilates Mat Work Teacher Training in Wales! To date I have assisted in the training of 19 Pilates Teachers with a 100% successful pass rate.
I fell in love with Wales and moved to Cardiff in 2014. My interests include walking in West Wales, Millenium stadium rugby and exploring the creative music and history of the city, occasionally the night life of Cardiff!
