About Me - Annabel Tsouris

I have been a full time Pilates teacher for 12 years - I am trained in both Pilates mat work and a wide range of large Studio Equipment - I am one of the most highly trained and experienced Pilates teachers in the South West.

 

 

I began training in 2005 with the Pilates Institute London on the Comprehensive Pilates mat work and equipment diploma.

 A little history...........I was born and raised in Devon.  I went away to University then travelled and lived in Australia for 3 years - it was in Melbourne Australia that I first discovered and fell in love with Pilates. I returned to Devon, settled in Exeter, trained to be a Pilates teacher and I have now been teaching in the local area for 15 years . 
 

I had a history of back and hip problems and spent a fortune on Chiropractic and Osteopathic treatment with no lasting benefit.  I decided try Pilates after reading that it was great for people with bad backs I gave it a try and became a Pilates devotee straight away.


Pilates really worked for me - my back pain was resolved, my posture improved, I felt fit, healthy and strong - I felt like a new woman! 


I was so impressed with the results that I decided to train to be a Pilates teacher and help other people to enjoy the many benefits and improved quality of life that practising Pilates brings.


I am also a fully qualified Spinal Touch practitioner having discovered the fantastic benefits of this gentle yet powerful non invasive muscular skeletal treatment. 


I have had fantastic success treating people with various problems - see my Spinal touch page for more details of this effective treatment.
