How long have you been in St Albans? I’ve lived in St Albans for the last four years, coming here to study Radiography at Hertfordshire University but originate from North Yorkshire.
Radiography, that's amazing. So how did you get in to Pilates? On moving to St Albans I joined the National Circus in London to practice aerial silks which is a huge passion of mine, whilst I was already attending Mat Pilates classes. I was then introduced to Reformer Pilates and immediately hooked. Both disciplines complement each other, the core strength and suppleness I’ve gained from Reformer Pilates has enabled me to develop more complex routines in the air.
What is your favourite Reformer exercise? I like a Clam flow with leg circles as I feel it really engages the glutes whilst also working the core.
Such a burner. What's your favourite instagram account? Maria Bardet (@humanimoves) is my favourite pilates teacher on instagram. Her videos explain the fundamentals of pilates breathing and stretches to improve flexibility.
Do you have a favourite in St Albans restaurant? Cha and Nasta a lovely authentic Bangladeshi restaurant/ cafe with great vegan and vegetarian options. All of her curries are made from scratch without milk, eggs and sugar… and also great for when you fancy a sweet treat.
... and your favourite shop here? Occasionally I love to browse in Anthropologie to check out their homeware and latest clothing lines
