Doris Pasteleur Hall is internationally known Pilates teacher. Her Pilates training began in the 1970’s with Alan Herdman famed for opening the first Pilates Studio in Britain and introducing Pilates to the UK. Subsequently, Doris came to New York to study with Romana Kryszanowska and then Carola Trier, who became her mentor. Through her work with New York’s Movements Afoot and Japan’s Pilates Movements Space, Doris has been using her instincts as a Movement Educator, instructing teacher training programs and professional continuing education workshops. Naturally blending different movement modalities, she creates workshops that balance anatomy, observation, cueing and hands-on work.

Deepen your knowledge of anatomy and learn specific exercises to address common injuries and postural misalignments. Denise will take you through a profound discussion on the kinesiology and anatomy of the major joints and movements of the body.  Using imagery and specific anatomical cueing she will take you through fundamental movements to reawaken and realign the skeletal system. Specific attention will be paid to the most common issues you will see as a Pilates instructor: scoliosis, frozen shoulder and impingment, common knee injuries and misalignments, arthritis, osteoporosis, stenosis, disc problems, etc.
Ellie Says:
“Denise has taught me so much, and has influenced my teaching more than anyone else in the last 4 years, simultaneously getting my own body symptom-free from chronic disc pain”
