Hello and welcome to Pilates with Han. I am a certified Body Control Pilates teacher, offering group classes, 1:1 sessions, and small private classes in east London.

 

Why Pilates?

 

Pilates has changed my life, and I'm passionate about sharing its power with others. I first took up Pilates in 2005, as part of my treatment for lower back pain. At the time I was working in a sedentary, desk-bound job and not listening to my body. The stress of the job, combined with long hours spent sitting at my desk, with poor posture, and lugging a heavy laptop around, were all taking their toll. I suffered from stiffness, back and neck pain, until eventually my back had had enough.

 

Taking up Pilates has made an incredible difference to my body and my life. The back pain eased, my posture and my endurance for sport improved, and I began to feel stronger. As I developed an interest in movement and kinesiology, becoming a Pilates instructor myself seemed like the obvious next step. I opted to train with Body Control Pilates (BCP) because it's renowned for being thorough and breaks down the exercises for a normal body – not someone with a dancer or boxer's form.

 

About my classes

 

With more than a decade of Pilates experience and knowledge, my aim is to help transform your body and enable you to achieve your goals, whatever they may be. Above all, I want you to enjoy learning and practising Pilates, and to find ways of building it into your daily routine.

 

I prefer teaching smaller groups for a more intimate learning experience. I love taking a hands-on, interactive approach, and keeping class sizes small means I have more time to spend helping each person. No two classes are ever the same, because they're tailored to meet the needs and abilities of whoever walks through the door.

 

My credentials

 

I'm a fully trained and insured Level 3 Pilates teacher on the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs), and a certified member of the Body Control Pilates Association (BCPA). I'm learning and discovering more every day as I continue to further my own education.
