Imogen Hale
Imogen came to Pilates through a stubborn lower back and stayed for the apparatus. She writes about the classical repertoire, the history of the method and the teachers who carried it from one studio in New York to the rest of the world.
Our coaches
Five people who teach, train, cook and write. Each one covers the corner of the method they know best.
Javier Llorens
Javier coached amateur runners and climbers in Valencia for years before he started writing. He covers mobility, recovery, sleep and the slow, unglamorous work that keeps joints happy, and he reads the research before he repeats it.
Lakshmi Selvaraj
Lakshmi grew up in a vegetarian kitchen in Chennai and now cooks mostly plants in a small London flat. She writes about plant-based food for people who train: protein that tastes of something, weeknight meals and shopping on a budget.
Kelsey Gaines
Kelsey taught group mat classes in Portland and ran a small studio for a while, which taught her as much about rent as about reps. She writes the home workouts and the business pieces: equipment, programming, teacher training and running a room.
Ruth Abernethy
Ruth started Pilates in her fifties and has not missed a week since. From Edinburgh she writes about wellbeing, balance and strength in later life, and about fitting movement into an ordinary, busy week.
