Biography

My name is Lianne Gregory and I was born in the Isle of Man in 1978.

I became interested in Pilates in 2000 when after many years of competitive horse riding my body was beginning to suffer from impact falls and intense sport exercise. My main problem areas were my very tight hamstrings, sore knees and a small ache in my lower back. Pilates just seemed to fit in with my passion to try and regain my body's muscle balance and improve my posture and flexibility. Since Clinical Pilates became part of my daily routine I have rehabilitated my body and now have good posture, improved muscle balance, tone and strength, along with very good body awareness and improved flexibility.

Pilates has also helped with my riding due to the new knowledge and ability I have to make sure my posture and balance is in harmony with my horse.

As Pilates can be done safely everyday or once a week it is easy to fit in with any lifestyle. Due to the flexibility within Pilates exercises and modifications that can be done it can be adapted to anyone, young, old, fit, unfit or even injured and disabled. I now love to try and help others rebalance their bodies, recover from injuries, assist to alleviate aches and pains and just generally make people fitter, leaner, stronger, lengthened and more aware of their own body's.
