Pilates with Morrighan M.

I am a somatic psychotherapist in training, former professional dancer, yoga and Pilates teacher and therapeutic expressive arts educator. I'm interested in all things holistic movement, creativity and healing! I've been practicing yoga and Pilates for over 15 years and both were hugely healing to me physically, emotionally and psychologically, and very supportive during my professional dance training and career. I started teaching Pilates matwork while completing my STOTT matwork training in fall 2015, and taught mat Pilates in various contexts in London (privately, studios and gyms, corporate, special populations) for 3 years. I also completed my 200hrs Astanga-Vinyasa Flow yoga teacher training in early 2017, and have been teaching yoga since then. I also have experience teaching creative/expressive dance, and have been teaching some form of movement since 2014. In addition to my Pilates and yoga certificates, I hold a BA in Dance Theatre and a MA in Dance Performance, and a dance & expressive arts therapy and embodied leadership qualification from Tamalpa Institute in Kentfield, Marin County. I recently graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) with an MA in Somatic Psychology. My long-term career goal and personal vocation is to help survivors of trauma gain empowerment and embodiment through movement and embodiment practices, somatic psychotherapy and expressive arts therapy. As a yoga and Pilates teacher, I am passionate about supporting each student to find more ease, power and connection as they move through their practice; and I know that this will ripple outwards beyond the mat in positive and transformative ways.
