Meet Dee, one of the teachers you’ll find on the Reformers here at Chapel Allerton Pilates 💛
Dee came back to Pilates twelve years ago while dealing with atypical sciatica, which left her with numbness from her lower back right down her left leg. Investigations hadn’t given her any answers, so her physio suggested Pilates. Through regular 1-2-1s and Reformer and Mat classes, her symptoms disappeared. She also found a connection with her body that no other form of exercise had given her.
She trained with Polestar in Mat to deepen her own understanding of the method, without being sure she’d ever teach. Her apprentice teaching hours changed that. She loved it so much that she started her Reformer training just days after passing her Mat exam.
Dee brings curiosity, care and her own lived experience to every class. That’s especially valuable if you’re living with pain or coming back to movement after time away.
Her advice? Be curious.
Fun fact: she can drive an agricultural telescopic handler 🚜
If you’ve been curious about Reformer but aren’t sure where to start, Dee’s Reformer Fundamentals Workshop is a lovely way in. Over a relaxed 90 minutes you’ll learn how the Reformer works, how to use it safely and the foundations you need to feel confident joining a regular class. Everyone is new, so there’s plenty of time for questions.
