Ellen Leishman

Ellen started doing Pilates as a way to manage back pain caused by a sedentary job and poor posture. Having worked in an office environment, Ellen understands the strain that hours sitting at a desk can have on the body and knows how beneficial Pilates can be.

Ellen teaches functional movement, focusing on practical, logical and useful movement for everyday life. Ellen works with people of all ages and abilities including people with back pain; pre- and post-natal clients; older clients; and people with conditions such as osteoporosis, hypermobility, arthritis and neurological conditions such as MS. Ellen is passionate about helping people with long term or chronic conditions and finds teaching Pilates hugely rewarding.

Ellen believes that Pilates is for everyone. Her classes and 1:1 sessions are inclusive, approachable and fun. She encourages her clients to work with precision and control to build strength and flexibility, improve postural imbalances and release tension.
