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.
