My story.....

Hello...I am Jane Fletcher, a former professional ballerina and fully qualified Pilates teacher. At 17, I joined the English National Ballet Company, dancing my first role alongside the legendary Rudolf Nureyev.

Pilates has been part of my life ever since my dancing days, supporting strength, posture, and flexibility — and now helping me (and my class members!) manage those everyday aches and pains that seem to go with more birthdays. My classes are welcoming and friendly, as well as being carefully planned to combine effective Pilates principles and exercises within a calm and supportive atmosphere.

It is a real privilege to see the positive difference Pilates makes to people’s lives, and I would love to welcome you to class.

My approach to teaching Pilates:

Drawing on my background as a professional dancer, I have developed a style of Pilates teaching that is both effective and enjoyable. My classes focus on:

• Encouraging confident, upright, tall, and poised posture

• Emphasising quality of movement and good technique

• Developing long, lean, and toned muscles

• Creating flowing, rhythmic classes where time flies

• Inspiring enjoyment, confidence, and personal achievement

You’ll find my classes to be friendly, welcoming, and supportive, with a lovely community of like-minded people, and it will be no time at all before you will really feel the amazing benefits of Pilates.

My Pilates training: 

After my professional ballet career and a subsequent role in corporate Learning and Development, I trained to an advanced level with an award-winning Pilates organisation. I am committed to high standards, continual learning, and delivering safe, effective, and enjoyable classes.

My teaching draws on a wide range of Pilates styles, from classical foundations to modern approaches such as Body Control Pilates. I love honouring Joseph Pilates’ original work while adding creativity, variety, and my own personal style to keep classes fresh and engaging.
