About Ali

Your Pilates Teacher

Hi, I am Ali!

I first became interested in Pilates when my dad was advised to take it up to help him manage persistent back pain.  I saw the tremendous benefits he gained from practicing Pilates, not only in terms of pain management, but in his whole wellbeing. This really kick-started my interest in learning Pilates too, eventually becoming an instructor myself to help others also experience its benefits.


I completed 18 months of rigorous training to become a BASI* qualified comprehensive Pilates teacher whilst living and working in London.  After that I then made the bold, slightly scary decision to quit my corporate career and focus on teaching Pilates.

*A bit more about BASI…
BASI stands for Body Arts and Science International, headquartered in the US, and is globally recognised for its high standards in teacher training and comprehensive approach to Pilates education. For more information about BASI, go to

I moved to Bristol in July 2017 to fulfil my ambition of setting up my own Pilates business which I successfully ran for over 4 years and helped countless clients discover this wonderful form of exercise. In the summer of 2021, I then moved to the beautiful city of Wells and am thrilled to have opened The Pilates Room Wells here!

 

I love what I do and find it a joy to help clients find strength and flexibility they never knew they had.  I am passionate about understanding what my clients want to achieve and helping them to reach their physical goals.  My approach is to work in partnership with clients to build their confidence and help them live their lives with ease and comfort.

"Ali provides clear directions and suitably challenging exercises, delivered with such good humour that the hour flies by and you find yourself impatient for your next Pilates session."
