EMMA CHAN,

INSTRUCTOR

It was Emma’s mother who first inspired and encouraged her to take a Pilates class. At the time, Emma was working in a corporate job where she spent long sedentary hours at a desk. This, combined with her moderate to severe scoliosis, meant she was suffering with poor posture and daily aches despite her young age. Luckily for Emma though, it didn’t take long for Pilates to have her standing taller, feeling stronger and moving with grace. As she says herself, since that first Pilates class she has never looked back!

Now having left her corporate job behind to become a STOTT certified instructor in matwork and all Pilates apparatus, Emma seeks to help others discover the same physical changes she felt for herself. Her approach to teaching is one of collaboration. For Emma, training private Pilates clients is a supportive journey where both seek to gain and learn as they work toward a shared goal. Her goals as an instructor are simple: to help others to enjoy movement, to gain or regain mobility and strength, and leave class feeling happier than when they arrived.
