About Helen

 

                                Helen is the founder of HD Pilates and has been teaching Pilates for

                            over 20 years. Her passion for movement started at an early age

                            with 15 years training in ballet and contemporary dance. It was a

                            natural progression to move to Pilates and she initially trained with

                            Body Control Pilates in 2003 before completing her full studio

                            machine training with Body Pilates Europe in London.

                            Helen has taught in numerous acclaimed studios over the years

                            including The Pilates and Rehabilitation Studio in South Kensington

alongside Gordon Thompson (founder of Body Control Pilates) and Ellie Ioannidou (founder of PEAR).

​

As well as running mat classes ranging from Beginner to Advanced Level, Helen teaches 121 private sessions with a strong focus on technique, progressions and rehabilitation. She has set up numerous Pilates workshops for clients and Pilates instructors and continues to provide individual training for many teachers.
