About EM Pilates
Emma Malandain
I am passionate about Pilates!
I'm not some skinny lycra clad fanatic who expects perfect poses! I am a slightly overweight 52 year old who just wants to keep moving and keep you moving!
For those of you that come to my classes, you know I will be up and about, hands on, correcting and positioning you, so that you can get the most out of each exercise
My Philosophy
I believe in a holistic approach to Pilates, combining physical and mental wellbeing. My classes are designed to help you not only build strength and flexibility, but also encourage wellbeing and aim improve your overall quality of life.
My classes are informal, fun and occasionally chatty! I want you to enjoy getting strong and flexible.
Outside of Pilates
I love the outdoors. When I am not teaching Pilates, you will find me either walking my dog Loki, or cycling somewhere. I also enjoy swimming and spending time with my family.
In addition, I work two days a week as a Physiotherapist
at The Manor, Oxford
Qualifications
I qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2005 and have worked at some point in most of the hospitals around Oxfordshire. I finally settled on working at The Manor in 2009 and have been there ever since!
I qualified as an APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute) Pilates Instructor in 2011, and opened
EM Pilates in 2013
