YOUR TEACHER
Tracey Rich came to Pilates, like many teachers, as a result of ongoing issues due to a horse riding accident in the past. Being a wildlife photographer, travelling around the world had quite literally become a pain in the bum, so much so that she needed to do something and Pilates was it.
Having never heard of it, what it was or even that there was a man called Joseph Pilates, it quickly became addictive and the pain disappeared to boot. Wanting to keep up the practice and often struggling to get to class, Tracey decided to train to teach as a means of helping others as well as satisfying her thirst for knowledge and further exploration of the human body. Being a zoologist by training, it made sense and it was immediately obvious that our body movements are akin to those of animals (well, we are animals).
So years of training with the prestigious Body Control Pilates® in London, UK ensued and she's been learning, teaching and having fun with Pilates ever since.
Her teaching is governed by exploration and having fun with our body movements, firmly believing that exercise and movement should make you feel free and 'at one' with your own body and mind. Seeing Pilates as body maintenance and prevention from illness and pain. She hopes that she can encourage everyone to get curious and understand themselves a little better, to make the very best of what they have.
Tracey's classes are designed to be fun, to challenge, to develop a functional skill set that will help you in day to day life, but most importantly encourage you to enjoy the body you have.
