About
Hi, I'm Ashlea, a certified classical Pilates instructor and former professional dancer with a passion for helping people achieve their best physical and mental well-being. Originally from Sydney and now based in London, I combine my extensive Pilates training with a deep love for movement to offer transformative experiences.
My personal journey with Pilates began during my rehabilitation from a spinal stress fracture. I quickly realised how beneficial Pilates was, not only for my dance career but for everyday life. After my first session, I knew I had to become an instructor to share Joseph Pilates’ transformative method with others - and that’s exactly what I did! In 2017, I embarked on a 600-hour full comprehensive teacher training with Authentic Pilates Education International. I moved to London in 2019 and completed the advanced component of my training at Exhale Pilates London.
My teaching style is precise, attentive, and calming, designed to help you reach your full potential while enjoying each session. My dance background adds an extra touch of grace and fluidity to my classes, making them both effective and enjoyable.
With a combined social media community of over 200,000, I’m dedicated to sharing my expertise and making Pilates accessible to a broad audience. My goal is to inspire and empower you to move better, feel stronger, and embrace the many benefits of Pilates.
You can train with me in a range of ways: join me online through my Pilates app, escape to breathtaking retreats abroad, or connect at brand and wellness events. Experience personalised attention in 1:1 private sessions at my Soho London reformer studio, enjoy the convenience of at-home sessions, or bring Pilates to your workplace with corporate group sessions in London.
I can’t wait to see you on the mat soon!
Ash
