Kylie is originally from Australia and has been living in the UK for over six years. Suffering the effects of a desk job and sedentary lifestyle, she sought a way to break the pattern. The solution came in the form of Pilates. Having tried a few classes, she soon realized Pilates was a passion! She loves the way it supports the body by enhancing posture, and by increasing strength and flexibility. She decided to take Flowing Body Pilates teacher training course and the rest is as they say: history!
Olitta is a professional dancer and personal trainer who first came across Pilates during her dance training and the many pathways she could take in her career. She has always had a passion for the anatomy and physiology of the body and how much it can move in different planes. Near the end of her dance training, her passion grew more, where she saw that there was a need for fitness to be implemented into people’s everyday lives. She's passionate about meeting people's health and fitness goals in 1-1 personal training sessions, and always seeking to learn new skills and thus she took the Reformer Pilates I teacher training course at Flowing Body Pilates.
Ellie’s passion for healthy living and a keen interest in how the human body functions and responds to movement led her to complete an undergraduate degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology. While practicing for her own well-being, and working in the health and fitness industry, she discovered her love of Pilates and thus completed training in mat-work, reformer and small equipment. From seeing the positive benefits firsthand, Ellie finds great reward in helping others to learn how Pilates can transform their lives for the better.

Darren's background is as a Ballroom and Latin dancer, performing across the world in live shows, competitions and television.

Lucy has a true passion for Pilates and teaching. Growing up playing netball and volleyball, Lucy found herself repeatedly injuring her lower back, and after many hours at a desk whilst studying Architecture, a physio finally suggested practicing Pilates for strength and rehabilitation. Lucy fell in love with the required control and intrinsic movements that make up the Pilates repertoire and noticed an immediate difference to her mental and physical strength. Lucy loves working with people and strives to bring her easy going personality into her teaching style, while continuing to challenge her clients. With a keen interest in injury prevention and rehabilitation, she is a true believer that Pilates can benefit everyone no matter where they are at in their fitness journey.
