Welcome to Pilates with Annette
In 2008 I trained to become a STOTT Pilates instructor with the Merrithew company. Having previously worked as a software engineer after college, both abroad and at home.
I first got introduced to Pilates when a physiotherapist recommended it to help recover from a hip injury. It speeded up my recovery hugely and I felt the benefits straightaway. The Pilates challenged every part of my body whilst improving my posture and keeping me injury free.
From then on I was hooked on all things Pilates and trained to become a Pilates instructor. I started to teach in Cork in 2009 and currently teaching in Waterford and Tipperary.
