Lindy Vosper·I make the most of everything life offers
About My Pilates Journey I have been teaching Pilates since 2008 and have classes throughout the week in different locations and times in mid-Sussex UK that are taught by fully-qualified Pilates teachers. ​ I found my way to Pilates through taking classes myself and feeling the benefits in my own body but also learning from a friend who had chronic back problems that when she started going to regular classes her spinal issues cleared up. I thought this was an excellent way of helping people to build their fitness levels and help fix their own bodies. ​ I trained with Body Control Pilates based in London and the course took a year to complete and after 50 hours of supervised teaching, I passed all the exams. I now live in Greece but still run my classes in the UK . Below are the training courses I have completed. Body Control Pilates Level 3 Matwork Teacher Training 2008 Intermediate Matwork Pilates and the Band Standing Pilates Pilates and the Small Ball Matwork Evolution Prep Matwork Evolution 1 Arc Barrel Workshop Pilates plus Psyche Pilates and Pregnancy 1 Pilates World Conference x 3 Yoga and Pilates Matwork Workshop About My Mindfulness Journey In 2011 I found myself reading about Mindfulness and becoming interested in it and finally decided to take the 8 Week MBSR or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Course and learn what it was all about. It was an amazing journey for me into an understanding of myself and how to calm the inner mental spiral of thoughts that would take me through my day. By using daily Mindfulness I noticed how stress, when it came into my life, could be handled differently and that I had tools to help me through various situations that affected me in a negative way. ​ In 2014 I took the plunge and signed up for the Teacher Training 1 of the MBSR at the Centre For Mindfulness Research and Practice at Bangor University in Wales. I attended a week-long retreat at Trigonos in the Welsh mountains, where I was immersed in daily meditations, workshops and training in the subtle art of guiding meditations myself and all the facets to leading an 8 Week MBSR Course. I keep up my own daily meditation work and study and this allows me greater freedom of thought and ability to deal with the problems that daily life impinges on us all.
