Ashley Brain, PhD
Stott Pilates Certified Instructor
Pilates & Safe Practice for Dancers
I have been a Stott Pilates certified instructor for over 20 years and a lecturer in ballet and dance science within higher education for 15 years. I hold a certificate in Pilates mat work levels 1 and 2 and combined reformer and mat level 1.
​
My sessions combine Pilates conditioning with safe dance practice knowledge to further enhance performance potential and prevent and rehabilitate injuries for dancers in training. ​I am passionate about applying dance science research and knowledge and sharing these insights with dancers currently training, competing, and performing. Through my sessions dancers are able to condition in a way that supports their training while also gaining a better awareness of anatomy, biomechanics, and dance-specific injuries.
