A group of teachers, working together
Every teacher at our Margaret Street studio is someone James has known, worked with and taught alongside for years. They weren’t recruited. They were chosen, for their teaching, their experience and what each of them brings to the room.
A note from James

When we started planning London, I knew the studio would only feel right if the people teaching in it shared the same respect for the Classical method. So I didn’t advertise for teachers. I asked people I already knew.
Each of them is someone I’ve worked with and taught alongside for years. I know their teaching, I trust their experience and I know what they bring to a session. Between them there are decades of professional ballet, dance and theatre, a background in yoga and Qigong, and one who found Pilates in the middle of a high pressure corporate career.
It isn’t a team working for me. It’s a group of teachers working together, learning from each other and holding the same standard of teaching, whichever of us you train with.
