Rebecca Clarke

Rebecca first experienced the benefits of Pilates whilst training to be a dancer at The Royal Ballet School in London. After graduating she worked in many aspects of the industry as a professional dancer. Whilst performing in a West End musical, Rebecca suffered a serious injury, which led her back to the Pilates technique for rehabilitation. Unable to return to her career in dancing, Rebecca undertook a one-year, full time teacher-training course under the direction of Alan Herdman. Alan is the person responsible for bringing Pilates to the U.K. from New York and set up Britain's first Pilates studio in 1970. Once qualified, Rebecca taught in various London Pilates studios including The Chelsea Harbour Club and Lesley Ackland's Body Maintenance Studio, situated in the famous Pineapple Dance Studios.

Being a mum herself, Rebecca has a keen interest in Pilates during pregnancy and enjoys the results that Pilates can give to everyone, young and old alike.
