Lauren McCarthy, Pilates teacher

Meet your teacher

I’m Lauren

I’ve taught Pilates since qualifying with the Pilates Foundation in 2007 and completed comprehensive studio training with Polestar Pilates. Before that, I was a fitness trainer at the English National Ballet School.

I teach with a focus on breath, concentration, centring, control, precision and flow. I want you to understand how your body moves and feel more confident in what it can do.
