Sasha McLennan
Studio Director

Originally from Sydney Australia, I came to London to continue my dance training and graduated from Brunel University, Rambert School and became a qualified Pilates teacher, gaining a distinction from the Pilates Foundation in 1999. Having studied The Pilates Method for several years and after successfully rehabilitating a dance injury through Pilates, I decided to train to teach. I brought to my training an understanding of movement through different dance disciplines. I have a reputation of precision and accuracy in refinement of movement for professional dancers, athletes and rehabilitating clientele. I am known for being tenacious and enthusiastic with my clients’ development.

I promote self-accountability in health and fitness and I never tire of the awareness and excellence a Pilates studio brings the individual. After running the Pilates Foundation Workshop Committee I was invited to sit on the Pilates Foundation Board from 2009-2011. I fully endorse the organisations’ aim to uphold the highest standards of teaching and teacher training in the Pilates Method. After gaining a PGCE (Stage One) I went onto to train teachers. To date I have assisted in the training of 12 Pilates Practitioners with a 100% successful pass rate with the Pilates Foundation.

Fiona Barbour-Smith
Pilates Teacher

I was introduced to Pilates as a new Mum six years ago on the recommendation of a chiropractor. Having spent a year doing Pilates with Sasha, I moved to New York City with my law firm and was able to experience Pilates stateside style! Another child later we moved back to Chiswick and wanting a new work life balance I decided to train to teach Pilates. Pilates has given me a stronger body after children and also a means of release form stress.
