Pilates Body and Mind - founded by Penny Brian in 2011

I discovered Pilates following a back injury & found that it not only gave me relief from back pain - but also a balanced & full body workout.

This unique exercise method gave me strength, muscle tone and flexibility. It was also incredibly relaxing - which was much needed with the demands a young family had put on my body.

I was so impressed - I decided to undergo the rigorous training required to become a Body Control Pilates teacher!

At Body Control

I am a teacher at the prestigious Body Control Pilates Centre, near Covent Garden. London. I teach both private and group classes, to students & the public alike.

I am also a Supervising Teacher for B C P assisting student teachers with their training. I attribute my ability to manage all of this - to the balance of Body and Mind that my Pilates practice gives me.

My studio

I remain passionate about Pilates & truly believe that it can be of benefit to literally any body. Regardless of their fitness level, age or gender. So why not get in contact to see how I can be of benefit to you.

For me, Pilates & our sessions together are about good functional movement - that improve your body on a day to day basis. Whether a top athlete, dancer or simply going about your day. If you’re a parent, or working at a desk or any other demanding career . Our Pilates together will help you move better & feel better!

I continue to regularly attend classes, courses & undertake personal study to increase my skills & knowledge as a movement teacher.

As well as Pilates, I study Anatomy, Fascia & other movement techniques & recently qualified as an Advanced Myosfascial Training Teacher !

It took several years & a lot of hard work & study - but the improvements to body movement are undeniable!

I have a particular interest in neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and MS. I really understand the particular requirements needed & I love sharing this knowledge & seeing the benefits to clients

My Private Studio with its Reformer, Tower , Chair & Ladder Barrel is especially useful for getting the most from our sessions - helping you feel the benefits faster!

But I also love teaching a good challenging Mat class too!
