Pilates - mat, chair and reformer coaching
Bodies in Balance is run by Rebecca Downes in the Lincoln and Market Rasen area. She is a highly experienced practitioner and teacher of pilates - her introduction to pilates began over 20 years ago when training as a professional ballet dancer in London. Her training involved regular mat and reformer coaching and Rebecca was incredibly fortunate to be introduced to pilates all those years ago by Alan Herdmam, one of the original teachers to introduce pilates to England from America. Due to a chronic ankle injury which cut short Rebecca's dancing career, she has a genuine understanding of what it is to have your goals thwarted and the need to take care of your body. This applies to the professional sports person, the sports enthusiast, people wanting to maintain strength and flexibilty as they age and the person who wants to remain independent into old age.
Rebecca moved to Lincolnshire a number of years ago and started her pilates coaching in villages around the north of Lincoln, making top quality pilates coaching accessible to all without the need to drive long distances to a studio. All equipment is provided with the use of small equipment found in any studio - Foam roller, fitness circle, blocks, flex band, over ball and swiss balls.
