SAM WILDBORE
Originally from the UK Sam found her way to Pilates in 2016 whilst living in Miami. She was initially attracted to the method as an effective form of exercise and the welcoming community it provided. On a deeper level she discovered the movement patterns improved her health, helped her manage her Type 1 Diabetes and offset some of the effects of rheumatoid arthritis.
Classically trained, through Core Pilates NYC and Classical Pilates Education, she likes to weave in modern twists and turns. Her passion for Pilates has grown to the extent that her husband complains she talks about nothing else and forces him on the Wunda Chair at every opportunity. Furthering her knowledge, satisfying her curiosity and the desire to improve client sessions means she takes as many workshops as she can fit in. Sam fully intends to hold onto her English accent, having lived in Hong Kong, Singapore and the US.
YUKO KODAMA
My background is in Ashtanga yoga. I have been teaching and practicing for over 25 years. Age and injury brought me to Pilates ten years ago. I enjoy helping people feel grounded and strong in their bodies using breath, intuition and understanding of anatomy.
My approach to Pilates tends to be mindful and I look for symmetry and balance in energy and strength in my clients.
