I am an experienced and passionate pilates teacher and have seen fantastic results from working with my clients. I am a level III Body Control pilates instructor and have also completed my Intermediate qualification. I am currently finishing my Exercise Specialist award due for completion in April 2010.

I love sharing and working with other people. I feel very lucky with my work as I am able to contribute to a person’s sense of well being. I discovered Pilates and Healing work after suffering many years of chronic shoulder pain, I believe this experience has given me much more empathy and understanding with clients. I practice Pilates every day . I am now dedicated to sharing the wisdom of Pilates and helping people restore good health and find happiness

I was also fortunate to receive personal tuition from Doug Robinson, a leading clinical Pilates practitioner. Before this I qualified as a fitness instructor and worked in London with YMCA and Soho Gyms. I attended the Brazilian centre of Pilates for three summers I have studied Natural Gymnastics.

On my travels I have studied the body intensely through Pilates, Martial Arts (Capoeira, Chi Gong) and Yoga. As a student and as a teacher I have attended many institutes around the world. This in turn has further helped my knowledge and teaching.

“Samuel Tellam is a young innovative Pilates teacher with a background in natural gymnastics and healing. Sam’s extensive knowledge of the human body and keen interest in relieving pain has made his work very effective. Sam’s own experiences with chronic pain have given him a unique insight and empathy with his clients struggles. Sam seems to be incredibly driven to help people achieve a strong sense of well being and takes genuine pleasure in the success experienced by his clients.”
