About Elna
Hi, I am Elna Barker
Pilates changed my life for the better, from experiencing chronic lower back pain, stiffness and discomfort to being energised,
much lighter and having a general positive outlook on life!
My Pilates experience includes 20 years of regular Pilates practice. Being a full time Pilates mat teacher since qualifying in April 2016.
Having completed the Basi Comprehensive Teacher Training Certificate 24 module course, I am currently working towards qualifying as a Comprehensive Pilates Equipment Teacher, using the Reformer, Cadillac and Wundachair. This involves 500 hours of practical training before I can register to complete the examination.
