About Danielle
Hi, my name is Danielle and I am the owner of Danipilates. Pilates has been a constant in my life since 1998. It keeps my body strong and supple and able to take on anything required of it. I have been teaching Pilates since 2010 and love to share the journey of discovery Pilates gives my clients. You will learn to truly control your body and understand how to look after it for life.
I am a classically trained Pilates teacher studying under my great friend and mentor Kirk Smith. Kirk is a second generation Pilates teacher having studied under Romana Kryzanowska.
As well as teaching Pilates, I have recently qualified as a Certified Muscle Activation Techniques, MAT® Specialist. This amazing technique was developed by Greg Roskopf based in Denver Colorado. My studies took me out to MAT® headquarters in Denver where I got to meet and work with Greg. A muscles function is to be able to contract and lengthen on demand. If this does not happen then our bodies will have limitations in range of motion and develop compensations and asymmetries. By seeing where movement is limited we can test and treat those muscles to restore motion. With MAT® we are reconnecting the muscle to the central nervous system so they will contract on demand restoring function and movement.
My teaching offers a combination of Pilates and MAT® which gets results quickly and effectively.
