BOOK WITH JANET

Marina Crowe BSc (Hons), HPD & CPNLP

Marina relocated from the Midlands to York over 30 years ago and has a background in Psychology, learning and teaching in higher education as well as Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and clinical hypnotherapy, with the connection between the mind and physical body being of keen interest.

Marina began practising pilates many years ago as part of her wellness and fitness routine but following a lower back injury, it was the numerous benefits of attending regular classes at MI Studio during recovery that triggered her passion for pilates and desire to train as a Pilates instructor with Janet Wood.  Some of these include greater flexibility, better posture, lengthening of tight muscles, greater whole body strength as well as the use of the breath to enhance movement whilst focussing the mind on sensory perception – plus a lot of fun and laughter!

Fully trained and accredited as a Balanced Body Comprehensive Pilates Instructor and Integrative Movement Specialist covering Mat and Reformer Pilates, Chair, Trapeze Table, Barrels and the Pilates Arc.  Marina teaches classes ranging from Beginners Matwork to Advanced Reformer Pilates. She teaches small group classes or on a 1:1 basis assessing movement ranges and enjoys working with people of all abilities.

Marina was also instrumental in the success of the ONLINE Classes offered via Zoom during COVID 19. She teaches the morning and midday classes and offers Pilates Resistance Band and Enhanced Pilates Mat with the Ring, Roller and Ball.
