Meet Monique! 👋
Originally from Australia, Monique is a former professional ballet dancer with a lifelong connection to movement. She began practising Pilates in her early teens and became a fully certified Pilates instructor in 2008, training with Alan Herdman, one of the early pioneers of Pilates in the UK.
She has since taught in studios across London, Berlin and Amsterdam. Alongside Pilates, Monique works as a health and performance coach, supporting women to build greater capacity, feel more grounded in themselves and create healthier, more sustainable ways of living and working.
For Monique, movement is about far more than exercise. She sees it as one of the most powerful ways we can shift our state, support our nervous system, build confidence in our bodies and feel better in ourselves.
She loves reformer Pilates for the way it combines breath, precision, strength and flow, while still leaving room for creativity and play. Her classes are designed to help people get out of their heads, reconnect with their bodies and build strength in a way that supports how they want to live.
Monique will be teaching on Tuesday evenings and the occasional weekend. Expect thoughtful movement, a little challenge and a sense of play, leaving you feeling taller, stronger, more connected and a little lighter.
