Sandrine Gasnier

I am a Pilates Mat and equipment Master Trainer and have been training instructors in the UK and all over the world for PhysicalMind Institute New York for the past 25 years. I am an ex-dancer, competitive runner, and actress from Paris, and have been in the fitness and Pilates industry for over 30 years. I equally love sharing my Pilates knowledge with my Pilates instructors making them the best instructors on the market; than looking after athletes for a competition or giving confidence back to new mums. My new favourite is looking after women before/during/and after menopause as I am definitely going through it too. I am currently writing a course on the subject. My greatest achievement, other than my 5 children, is to have been running one of the most successful Pilates studios in the UK for 21 years. We had 60 classes a week and won various prizes over the years, one of them being the fastest-growing studio outside the USA. Staying pure to the method, I have trained in the States with 1st generation Pilates masters, who trained with Joseph Pilates himself. Besides that I provide, I provide beneficial advice and recommendations for dietary habits and produce new educational materials on a regular basis. I am also a woman wellness expert and having had 5 children myself, I specialise in pre and postnatal pregnancy, diastasis recti, and pelvic floor issues. I have worked closely with private clinics and hospitals, looking after their patients but also giving talks and lectures, and workshops on the subject. In 2007 I have created my own BarrePlus method which was showcased in many fitness magazines, as no barre certifications excited in England and I have since trained many instructors in the method. I am a certified massage therapist and do sports massages, deep tissue, stone, and lymphatics massages. I am also one of the few scar work massage therapists in the UK. I have lived in Singapore, Hong Kong, France, England, and now Spain which has provided me with a great opportunity to learn how to work with people from different countries and cultures and allowed me to acquire important time management and communication skills. Last, be not least, I am a native French speaker, speaking fluent English and comprehensive Spanish.
