What do you love about teaching Pilates?
JE: I love that I get to pass my Polestar knowledge on to my clients — and allow them to make amazing changes in not only their body, but their thinking too.
Where did you take your Training and who was the educator?
JE: I trained at Moss Pilates in London, under the watchful eyes of Liz Bussey and Diane Nye.
What are your current Inspirations?
JE: Carl & Julia Moss – the family atmosphere they have created among the London team and the beautiful studios that they keep immaculate.
Why Pilates? How did you find the practice?
JE: I used to be a professional dancer and found that Pilates prevented injury. Upon training as a personal trainer I stumbled across the reformer, loved the benefits and never looked back. Top fan!

What is your favorite Quote? How do you apply this?
JE: ‘Do as much as you need to do, and as little as you don’t!’
I use this in all aspects of my life to keep a watchful eye on the energy I expend on exercise, business, home life, my body and on whom I spend it.
What is your Favorite Apparatus or favorite way to move?
JE: I love to hang upside down on the Trapeze Table. My body feels weightless and I get to let go of all stress and tension. When I stand back on to my feet after this, I feel well balanced and rejuvenated.
