Julie Driver
Julie believes passionately in the power of Pilates. She has been teaching for over 18 years both in the UK and also internationally.
Her own experience of rehabilitation after serious injury deepened her commitment to continue studying. She considers herself an eternal student and continues her own education with weekly 1-1s and studying regularly with her own mentors.
A ski accident in 2008 resulted in serious damage to her left leg. Surgeons predicted a yearlong recovery and a permanent limp. Using the expert guidance of her teachers, complemented by her own knowledge of Pilates and the apparatus, Julie was
walking unaided and without a limp within less than 9 months.
By 2014 Julie had won the prestigious international ‘Pilates Anytime Instructor of the year” competition and continues to record online classes for them as a returning visiting Instructor.
With a lifelong passion for equine studies, Julie considers that Pilates is the perfect way for riders to improve their technique and create a stronger relationship with their horse.
Recently Julie has published a series of three articles for ‘Horse and Rider” and “Intelligent Horsemanship’ and had the honour of being invited to record classes for the Monty Roberts online Equus University. Having worked with Monty Roberts and his team since 2003, she is also studying towards her final exams for Monty Roberts ‘Certificate of Horsemanship”
