About your Instructor
Rebecca Swan
As a mother of two young children (ages 4 and 6), I am passionate about helping children build a positive, confident relationship with movement from an early age. My own journey into Pilates began with wanting to support my children’s development and now I am committed to offering the same encouragement, strength-building and wellbeing-focused approach to others.
After qualifying as a Level 3 Pilates Instructor (Mat and Reformer) and Level 2 PT I set up a Pilates studio in Eton. For the last 5 years I have taught group sessions to adults, teenagers and little children. Most recently I developed the Pilates & Play programme for school children 4 - 8 years old and 8 - 13 years old
I am currently completing my Level 4 Advanced Pilates and Exercise Therapy certification, specialising in children, teenagers, and rehabilitation.​
