Lynne’s journey started like many others with chronic back pain and was looking for something to help.  She misread her gym’s timetable and instead of joining a Yoga class, she found that it was Pilates, so gave it a go.  Lynne was hooked, her back pain disappeared and as an added bonus, she dropped a dress size from 18 to 12.
 
After qualifying as an instructor, Lynne and her husband realised there was a demand for well-trained teachers so they quit their day jobs to set up Body Control Pilates.
 
Lynne works with many celebrities and regularly appears in the mainstream media.  She has published 17 books on Pilates and recorded countless DVDs.  She continues to work with students in her Bloomsbury studio and I have been lucky to be taught by her.  Her enthusiasm is infectious and experiences invaluable so I always come away feeling inspired – as my clients know well!!
 
Lynne’s advice is to do at least 10 minutes of Pilates every day at home combined with lessons with a qualified instructor.  The benefits are many, as well as promoting better breathing, Pilates can improve flexibility and core stability and boost the immune system.
 
To quote Lynne: “In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 sessions other people will notice the difference and by 30 sessions you’ll feel so good that you can’t stop.”
