CAROLYNE ANTHONY

Carolyne’s love affair with the Pilates Method began while she was dancing professionally in London in 1982. She was instructed by her dance company to attend classes at Alan Herdman’s studio. The rest is history.

She was amazed at
the positive effect it had on her hypermobile dancer’s body and she decided to make the method a part of her professional development. Over the years she has certified with The PhysicalMind Institute, BASI, Polestar and the NPCP.

While appreciating the effectiveness of the Pilates Method on the general population, Carolyne felt a need for more information and program design regarding the different stages of a woman’s life.

A pioneer in women’s fitness and a former birth doula, Carolyne brings more than 30 years of experience to the industry. Today, her techniques - which began with pregnant/postpartum women-are taught globally by over 3000 fitness, Pilates, and yoga instructors. Carolyne also founded The Gentle Birth Project and International Diastasis Recti Awareness Month.

She is a published author and a regular presenter at International Pilates and Fitness conferences worldwide.
